Introducing Waze Wizard — Waze Made Simple for Non-Touch Devices

Tired of wrestling with a mouse just to launch Waze on your non-touchscreen phone? Say hello to Waze Wizard, the app that makes navigation effortless — no taps, no clicks, no hassle.

:man_mage: What It Does:

- Just type your destination — Waze Wizard uses Google’s address search to find it instantly.

- Confirm the address, hit one button — and Waze opens with “Go Now” already pressed.

- No more multi-step mouse gymnastics. No more clunky UI. Just smooth, fast routing.

:bullseye: Why It Matters:

- Designed specifically for phones without touchscreens.

- Built for speed, simplicity, and accessibility.

- Created for fun — but polished with a cleaner, smarter UI than the default Waze flow.

Tested it on 3 phones

LG Vn220 - I got a connection error

Sonim XP3+ 5G - Didn’t want to install at all

Schok Classic - Works. I wasn’t able to find a exact address but it worked. I also had to use a mouse

3

LGVn 220 I found the same error the sonim doesn’t install because it was built for older phones and the shock I don’t really care about since no one has it but I want really Kyocera testers also if anyone has a solution what can figure out why it doesn’t work on the exalt would be extremely helpful

4

Schok and Kyocera are very similar so I would say its the same results

5

No I tested in Kyocera e4810 it worked fine….

What’s the difference between your app and this

7

Dpi is too big for tcl

8

Looks great so far no Dura XV E-4610.

I shrunk the icon to 48x48 so it fits better on the apps4flip launcher. Should I upload it here or you can fix in next release?

This is an amazing idea! Thank you for creating this app! Agav, I have a Kyocera e4810, with waze and c9 as my mouse, and I am perfectly comfortable using waze as is. It makes it easier, like if I know the name but not address then I can still go to it. DISCLAIMER: this is all personal, others I think would love this, so thank you!

10

Tried this app on an E4810, You need to click the address 3 times for it to open in the waze. (Just is just the launcher you need to download the waze apk.)

Anyone have the latest waze version for the E4810?

11

Ironically, this used to be my go-to app. Is it just me, or can’t I get the launcher to open Waze on its own? It’s not pulling me into Waze anymore.

@sh7411usa Is there a new update for this app of yours? was amazing while it lasted.

12

Any waze launchers for the Exalt? The old one @anonymousfliphones linked doesn’t work either..

13

No launcher needed for this app (I tested it on few phones, including the E4810)

14

Does it work on the Kyocera Cadence

15

It should

16

How are you navigating the maps? Via a mouse?

17

Yes

18

Too lazy.

19

What incentive would you need to update the app?

Alternatively, if you’re willing to train me on how to update the APK, I’m fully on board for that training.

Being that I sell and fix flip phones. I’m frequently updating and adding apps. Your launcher was by far the best. And I haven’t seen it working on anyone’s device now seems like it updated and just doesn’t load anymore.

Thanks @sh7411usa

The problem is not my app. The problem is how Openstreetmaps works. That’s what changed - not my app.
Nominatim, the geocoding engine that I use, is no longer accepting request from my app. Its as simple as that. I don’t know why, if I use the exact same endpoint in a browser, it works fine. What I do know is that they have an over usage policy that we must have collectively broke. Figuring out a work around is a pain in the neck for me. If you still need a solution, you can PM.
