Waze is much faster to figure out street closures than any other app, since enough people can report a temporary closure right in the app.. By the time one of the big companies gets around to checking their email the closure will be open.
My biggest hint for using Waze is to look at the destination address yourself (in Uber before switching). Especially if it uses the word "alley". "In X feet turn down alley". Do the last two blocks yourself.
It's usually trying to get you to come down the pax's one-way street from the correct direction. You do need to do that, but I'd turn down a logical side-street to do so... unless you are comfortable taking pax down allies.
It also has an annoying habit of thinking the address is in an ally, or a nearby street. Especially if the pax's apartment is off the street. Google did the same thing though. I blame Uber. I bet they send longitude and latitude coords instead of the street address. Never happened for an address I typed in myself. Again, memorize the address they gave (or at least the street) before switching to the app.
Lastly Waze is very "busy" with icons. It has icons for police that people reported, other Waze drivers, red light camera, speed cameras, closed streets, construction zones, 7-11 stores (or whomever they partnered with for money that week)... if your brain can't filter information, you will not like Waze. (maybe you can filter them in the app, I don't know)
