Waze now in CarPlay

I tried Waze today in my RDX. It was interesting, but there were a lot of issues. I wonder how others are finding it's use.
1) It's nice to see the Waze map on the car display
2) It's buggy. Probably on the count of the car, but I had numerous times where it just went dark and returned to the car menu. I had to unlug and replug the USB connector
3) The map is a bit wonky. It zooms in when you stop, zooms out on it's own at times, and it's not as good a view as if I had my phone on and was watching the map
4) The Apple Play controls are harder to use than the Acura menu touch pad. "Finding" the cursor (which you never see) is not easy, esp when you're driving.
5) Getting a phone call while in Apple Play be it Waze or Google Maps is more difficult than the native car interface
6) The Acura Infotainment System has a lot of bugs. On my way home today I did not use it. To me it's not worth it yet. Yes, I am glad I have it, but I am hoping they fix some of the bugs in the system to make it more desirable.
Like I said, what do the rest of you all think? Have you tried it?
