  Is this a joke?

  Half the icons on the screen are Dunkin Donuts or McDonald’s and any time you stop at a light a banner add covers have the screen.

    You don’t see ads if you use Waze on Android Auto

    Haven’t used Waze in like 8 years, but it was bloated and then.

  If you’re using a device or network-wide ad-blocker like I do, then you won’t see them. When I try to use Waze on somebody else’s phone, the ads are unbearable.
