What is Reddit's opinion of Shortcuts for Waze 2.0 (Nav)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Turn off certain alerts. Potholes, vehicle on side of the road, etc is all useless to me.

Native support for shortcuts. I wrote an android app to do this, but it'd be nice to have the real thing as well as have it be able to read waze favorites. Also presumably there would be an iOS version.

Quick plug for a companion app i made for Waze (Android only) - Shortcuts for Waze

Let's you create shortcuts anywhere shortcuts work to a destination(s) that will open in Waze. Even supports having an additional stop.

Make some hypothesis about how users are using your app and then test them.

I had a toggle that would turn on/off auto-navigation in my app. I was tracking how many people were using it. Turns out of out of thousands of usages, that toggle was used 54 times (presumably some were automated tests by google, and some were from me). So when I was updating and adding other features, when in came time to add more toggles, I was able to just remove it to make way for more useful features.

Hey, I made a huge update to my app - Shortcuts for Waze

New Features:

• Custom Icons
• Double Shortcuts - add a via point [beta]
• Address autocomplete
• Can now enter lat/long coordinates directly
• Select current location
• Select addresses from contacts

1. To edit the driving shortcuts for waze, you need an app called Shortcuts for Waze. Waze doesn't natively let you create shortcuts to specific locations outside the app. This 3rd party app does. Once you have the app installed, in KLWP on the Touch action, select 'launch shortcut' then select 'Waze shortcut' from the list of available shortcuts. You will be prompted to enter an address or a searchable location like a business name.
2. The Infinity symbol on the right is part of an app I use for work. You would probably want to delete or replace it.
3. The speaker icon in the music controls is set to run a Tasker task which maxes out my phone's media volume. It is a temporary solution while I get my Tasker tasks working properly. Tasker is supposed to max the media volume when my bluetooth connects to the car, but it is failing sometimes...
4. The battery stats are an unfinished widget :) I currently have Tasker reporting my battery level into a google spreadsheet every twenty minutes. I am now trying to figure out how to get that data to display in KLWP. I know there are battery tracking komponents but I wasn't happy with any of them.
5. It is supposed to look like a flatbed scanner :) That is the icon I use for an app called CamScanner. I think I might have forgotten to set the touch action to launch the app :P
6. The Saturn icon that brings up the white rectangle is supposed to be my Astronomy Picture of the Day viewer. It would include the image, title, and explanation of the APoD. But I removed my APoD API from the KLWP and provided a link to the tutorial I used to make it.

Thanks!

Waze does not provide a built in way to add shortcuts to places. So about a year ago I wrote a little app to provide them. Since then the app got moderately popular, and while the reviews were good (4.5 stars), people who wrote them kept asking for some features the app was lacking. So I added most of the requested features (and a few others that made sense) and released version 2.0.

Shameless plug.
