Please update this app not working smoothly

Full screen intrusive ads. I've tried the editor and read only versions and both have full screen intrusive ads that appear without warning. Very annoying. I would happily pay a one off payment for ad free which I have done for other applications, but since there is only a subscription based model, no way. I could end up paying hundreds of dollars long term for a mobile application which is ridiculous. Already uninstalled, looking for a better alternative.

I used to have this app, it came with the phone I used to use, it was so was much better then. Now, expecting it to be as good I just downloaded it on my current phone, and the now meagre menu (there were more functions before) and the incessant interruption by ads has in my opinion downgraded it and put me right off. What have you done, Polaris Viewer makers? I've just uninstalled.
