Waze makes it possible to contribute to the "common good" and benefit from it, so get on board and get involved!
This application is very intuitive, modern and enjoyable when you use it. Personally it is much more convenient than Skype to play and chat at the same time. On the other hand, I had some problems in joining attachments (an authorization request to open links ). Also small bugs with notifications which appears in loop even after opened the application. Still not possible to send videos. Apart from these issues, it is a very useful application ^^.
