I have recently started using Waze on a daily basis. It seemed strange, at first, that after a few days conspicuous ads began to appear in-app. These ads obscure at least a third of the upper part of my GS6, and I have to click on the screen once to remove the ad, and a second time to re-center on my car. My entire purpose for using this app is to reduce/eliminate my active participation while driving, making it safer. However, these ads are making it more difficult to do so.

Please, Waze, I would GLADLY pay for an ad-free version of your client. There is a suggestion over in the iPhone category that has +1000 votes for this functionality.

Thanks for providing a useful and almost* frustration free product!

Sick of the ads. Will pay for ad free version
Ads are a distraction and is dangerous.

Yes, please. I would gladly pay for an ad-free version!

Weather Underground offers this option

SPOILER ALERT: Waze's profit generation scheme is the brainchild of two retarded monkies.

I would happily pay $20 for an ad free version.

I would absolutely pay for an add-free version of this product.

I totally agree with the Mad Martian's comment. All my votes, $5.00, anything! Just give me an option to turn off KFC, etc.. I am never going to a KFC, so I guess it is good to know where they are so they can be avoided!

I'd pay for an ad free Waze

I have recently started seeing ads that. fill the top third of the screen, cover and dim the main. It is necessary to tap the map to remove them.

Not only is this extremely annoying, it is a dangerous distraction. In the UK where we have a hands-free law, it is probably illegal too. And no, I don't believe a timeout can get around that.

I don't mind the MacD icons or whatever but obscuring the navigation defeats the object of the app. Think carefully before continuing this policy Waze Google.

I would pay extra to not have ads!

Pop up adds on a sat-nav apps are distracting, dangerous & annoying.

Not only would I pay for an ad-free version, but I make a point of never using a business that advertises on my phone. That's like seeing ads on my underwear. Not cool. I spent 3 votes on this feature and would spend all 10 if the system allowed me to.

WHY are you allowing ads?

That's on you for failing to ad block .

Waze was a great app. Now spoiled by ads, ghosts and other bs. Had to go back to Google Maps.

The ads are distracting and annoying and get in the way of use.

Create a version that allows me to pay a monthly subscription fee to avoid the ads.

Adds don't bother me much for now but I would definitely pay for the app without them and more features added

strange, i did not see yet a single ad in waze ... (from slovakia)

please offer an ad free version I promise everybody would buy it

Waze used to rock. Now it sux. Another great idea destroyed by greed
