Was good
Oddword
This WAS a good app. Description of latest update says it's adding an ad banner. Screw that! Deleted without even bothering with the update. Bad move. Not good policy to make a useful app undesirable.
Ads unacceptable for an app like this.

I too will not use this with ads, and unfortunately for the developer it's not worth 99 cents either as it is right now. As much as I love old maps, there's just not a lot here to make it a compelling app.
Skip it

It's now nothing more than a pathetic platform for trying to make money off of iAd. Go with something like the National Geographic one that, while is 0.99, does not force so many adds on the screen.
Was good, now deleting

The ad banner now makes this app unusable. Too bad, but it's not like these maps are the developer's creation. The developer slapped ads on public domain material. Pathetic. Goodbye app.
Ads ruin app

Dev added iAds. Ruined app after I bought it. Deleted changed rating to one star. Feel cheated.
Wasted Time and $

I am sure I have wasted money on a more a more disappointing product but I can't remember when. What a joke.
Please remove ads

I'd rather spend $0.99 for this than deal with iAds. It's an interesting app that's been diminished by the inclusion of ads. If you already have the app, don't upgrade past 3.0 and you can continue to enjoy a fairly interesting app without being bombarded with annoying ads.
