@Angus I don't do ads in the app or on the website that powers the app. That is just sales. I've considered doing a free version with ads, but I just don't like ads, plus, half the people I know with android devices are rooted and have an adblocker installed.
If I don't get a fresh supply of media attention every few weeks, my sales slump. The lowest slump since we hit it big thanks to Droid Life was about $70 for the day. Oh, also, if you're in the US, YOU MUST put 18% of every dollar into a savings account, and forget it exists until tax season. Don't let all that income tax sneak up on you. I'm sure you should do the same in any country, but I don't know what percentage that is anywhere else.
