These forums are specific to the Waze mobile app. Post here if you experienced a problem while using the app, have a question about the app functionality or a feature such as navigation or search.
Waze is a free navigation app. The ads are revenue for Waze and what the businesses hope is more revenue for them by increased customer flow.
As Andy mentioned, the on-screen advertisements only display when you are stopped and go away as soon as movement is detected. There is no way to hide all advertisements.
