I don't mind banner ads, but I really hate it when they force you to watch an ad before you're allowed to proceed using the app.
 Does anyone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, much as I'd like to help, I don't know anything about AdAway
other than links to the software and forums to ask detailed questions of.

So I'll let others respond to the AdAway portion of the issue, but may I
ask if you're using an ad-blocking DNS &/or system-wide ad blockers?

System Wide Ad Blocking

The main reason I ask is I haven't seen an ad on my Android phone in, oh, I
don't know how long - but it could be years and I use it daily on the net.
