Popular mapping application Waze was updated today to version 3.9.2. According to the app’s change log (below), it’s gotten several design tweaks to areas, including the location sharing interface and quick-messaging screen, which allows you to quickly notify friends that you’re on the way.
The app also gained a Today view widget that displays the estimated travel time to your home or work addresses, and allows you to quickly get directions to either location by tapping on them. You can also send your ETA to friends from the widget while navigating to your destination.
Traffic data is now improved when changing a route to avoid slowdowns, and a new setting allows the map to automatically swap between 2D and 3D styles. Of course, the usual miscellaneous bug fixes are also included.
You can grab the updated Waze app for free on the App Store.

Just waiting the 4.7″ and 5.5″ screen support!
Still not optimized for the 6 and 6 Plus.
not sure this one needs it, big buttons are good while driving!
Now if they could tone down the annoying ads and pop ups. They’re very distracting while driving, to the point where I gave up on Waze and just use Apple Maps.
Wake used to be awesome. Now? It’s just more adware.
yeah. after 3 months. You think they would release some iPhone 6 support…
Why should we use an app that is going to help Google make their maps better for free?
