Both Android and iOS users are affected, with the app functioning normally, but a popup appears when attempting to navigate, suggesting the use of Google Maps instead. This move, while possibly promoting TuJu as an alternative to Waze, has raised questions about the app's intended purpose, as it was reportedly developed with private developers to enhance the Malaysian Highway Authority's Traffic Management Centre.
