Please offer an ad-free version of Waze.
I'm pretty sick of seeing Taco Bells, Ramada Inns, and Smart Water pop up on my map. I'd pay up to $5 for a version of Waze without advertisements.

Why cannot Waze developers realize Taco Bell is not a good option for human, even my amigo friends don’t eat it at all!
Please offer option to ad free, I would like to pay for it!

Waze is invaluable to me, I'd totally pay for an ad-free version simply for the fact that I feel like I owe Waze money.
It has saved me hours of drive time, given me warnings I actually need, and is just the best app I have. -

I find ads not to be an issue. When ever the car is moving (even a little) the ads go away. They also don't appear on Apple Car Play.

I will never buy anything advertised on Waze and never buy at a business that advertize on Waze

I find the ADS Dangerous and a driving distraction. I must take focus from road or have passenger clear ad. This is a hazard requiring action when Waze must be passive for driver and passenger. Please offer a safer Waze without Ad distractions. Also let me tell you once no carpool ads don't keep repeating this when I'm in a rural area without possible carpool partners. Google you get your ad revenue other ways DO NOT distract drivers, against your motto.

I would be happy to pay a reasonable ammount for Waze to be ad free. As much as I like the app, the ads are why I stopped using it.

I would also pay. The ads are distracting and can be dangerous while driving.

If you use Andoid Auto/ AppleCar play then you don't get ads while you're stopped as they aren't allowed to as it is illegal because it's a danger of distraction

I only get ads when I am at a stop. I am also using an older version that has a better interface and allows me to report events in the other direction.

I consider the ads a helpful feature: they tell me what businesses to avoid. Any business that advertises on a platform that disrespects users as much as Waze doesn't deserve my money. Most ads I see on Waze are for products I didn't want in the first place, but I have stopped eating at Wendy's because now the first thing I associate them with are misleading pins on my map that look like they're trying to alert me of something important. The takeover ads also look just like the popups that alert you of hazards ahead of you on your route, which means I've started ignoring those too, since I instantly dismiss any takeover out of habit. It would be really nice if there was a way to make ads get out of the way of useful features. If Waze would just accept my money, I could stop being so bitter about this. I use Waze a LOT, and it feels like cheap garbage with all the popups. Please, just name your price.
Until then, I hope some of your advertisers see this and know that they're losing business because Waze's hostile behavior is souring their name.
