Can we have an ad-free option please? I'd happily pay to get rid of the irrelevant junk sliding onto the edge of my screen.

Would you pay an annual subscription?
Of course depending on that annual fee; however a monthly subscription of say 1.99 I think would generate more one off peeks. But again let's talk numbers. I mean the site offers very concise resource for so much but again the Internet does provide it for free as well.
I would prefer a one-time fee.
Consider this: I never click (touch) ads in apps. When an ad intrudes on my app experience, it actually creates a negative impression of the brand(s)—both of the app and of the advertisers. Are ad dollars (or cents) worth degrading the overall value of your brand?
I only use the app two to three times a week, so I don't think I would pay for an ongoing subscription. How much income does my ad view bring in? Compare that to a one-time fee, and my improved impression of an ad-free experience with your brand. From a word-of-mouth perspective, I tell my friends and followers about an improved app. If the ads remain, I am unlikely to promote the app.

The annual subscription would have to be very low, as all I want to do is get rid of the ads in the app. I'm not interested in the IMDB Pro subscription and extra features that cost megabucks per month.
I'd prefer a one time fee, which I can assure you is more money than the zero you make through me not tapping on ads.
Failing that, I'd actually settle for some relevant ads and not the same on over and over and over and over.

Exactly!!
I refuse to do any monthly/annual subscriptions besides cable/internet and cellular. I would gladly pay $1.99 for permanent ad-free viewing.
Hell no. Ads maybe earn pennies. I'll give you 2 worth...
Guess it's time to switch to using an ad blocker plus Firefox (unlike Chrome on Android that can't have add-ons). Personally I like uBlock Origin. Open source, has lots of options and control but 'just works' as installed. Even have versions for Chrome too.
Is there a blocker for iPhone Safari??
Yeah, totally! I mean, how come everything in the whole wide world isn't just free? I'm gonna tell all my friends, or rather not tell all my friends, and then you'll see!
What are you even talking about? This suggestion is to let people *pay* for the app.
Exactly! I want to pay for a better experience. Until then I'll carry on blocking as many ads in apps as I can.

Other apps have this kind of option. You can download the app for free, and then pay a couple of dollars to remove the ads. Can you consider adding this functionality to the IMDB app?
I prefer to pay for ad-free apps. Ad banners are a distraction for the user that is focusing on the movie that they are researching.
Thanks for listening.
