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.

    Paid Waze version. With access to an advanced ad-free app. I think with $3mo you would perfectly compensate the ads income. Plus, an actual reward system, where if you report and edit maps, you would get discounts on Waze and access to cool features such as beta testing.

    I have an idea. Since there doesn't seem to be a rush to create a paid add-free version, how 'bout, at least, giving those of us who report the various conditions on the road a break from these damnable ads. I abhor them. Even worse is, as I believe I've said before, when you ask us which ads we've seen. I think you should pay us to answer that inane question. Sorry, I don't mean to be an a-hole, but damn. It's not as if there aren't already enough ads in life, although I do appreciate, very slightly, that they seem to only show up when I'm stopped now. Egads, though, please, have a heart and give us a way out of this pain. I've threatened to quit using Waze, as a boycott of sorts, but the fact that it works so well at routing me around nasty traffic means I continue to suffer through these insane ads. It's as if one second I'm in heaven and the next in hell. I suggest you find a way to keep your users from having to face a dilemma every time they use this app.

    I would pay a fee to remove those adverts, as well. They are distracting, and unnecessary! And they cover up road hazards at times so you cant see what's ahead.

    Yea I'm off back to Google maps just because of add, I'd pay to get rid of them too

  • Cindy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would be happy to pay for ads free. They always pop up at the worst time. I am probably going to switch to google maps. Love you guys but ads are a killer

    Stop showing distracting and annoying ads. I am driving and I use Waze to navigate. Not to show me where I can buy mineral water. I do not drink mineral water.

    Please offer an ad free version I'll happily pay! The latest release is more intrusive than ever, now when I shut Waze down a tiny advert icon appears on my home screen and stays there because the app is still running in the background.

    I would immediately pay for an ad-free version too. Ads are dangerous in this type of app.

    You should be allowed to delete location that you created easily for reasons as if the business moved or the wrong address was stored

    For sure! Not only are they annoying, they are DISTRACTING and unsafe, taking up a large area of the screen. I'd pay $5 in a heartbeat.

    DISTRACTING AD POP-UPS ARE DANGEROUS!!!!!!
    Don't do this to people while they are driving!!!

    I am willing to PAY for an AD-FREE version otherwise I will be deleting this app!!!

    Whats up with the ads that ask me if i want to change my route to the location of the restaurant advertising????? Come on waze....

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'll chime it as well. I'd very happily pay for a Waze app that eliminates the terrible clutter of showing me locations that I have no interest in. I don't eat at Dunkin' Donuts......ever. I just don't like them. I appreciate that others do but why do you FORCE me to try and ignore these business locations when I have absolutely no interest in them. Why? If your intent is self serving...as in it's more important for you to make money than for me to enjoy using an app, then just fess up and say so. I'd at least appreciate your honesty even if I curse what otherwise is a pretty useful application.
