Paid Voice after Free Period Ends
We loved having Stephen Colbert as our chosen voice on Waze. We want to suggest offering the limited voices for payment after the free period ends. We absolutely would pay to keep Stephen on our Waze. You have a lot of Wazers. If a portion purchased for $.99 or $1.99 each voice, it could add up. It would make your customers happy and earn you some revenue.

Thank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional so they are only available for a limited time.
You can use these for the length of the promotion.
We currently don’t offer a paid version of app voices.
We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use.

Add Colbert's voice back to Navigation. If you cant do it for free, make me pay. I will! :)

I'm from Chile. It was great to have the voice of "Claudio Palma". I suggest to put a "try free for 1 month" icon. After the free trial, show a pop-up indicating that: "if you liked the Voice Guide, you can buy it for $$$$". Thus Waze earn $$$, people who lend their voice too, and we won also listening to the voices of our favorite people.

Waze offers different voices patterns from time to time, but users are not allowed to keep them if they choose to do so. This is quite annoying.

Perhaps a licensing deal with Disney or Nintendo? Don't need street names. Not sure if there would be a method for an in app purchase. I'd buy a bunch at $.50 a piece.
