Hi Filipe, I'm not willing to share exact sales figures, but the sales of the ad-free version were in single figures and active installs of the ad-support version is in the low thousands and the advertising provider reported a low thousands figure per day for ads served.
As I said before these figures aren't of any use to people and companies looking at a Lite/Pro split, but might be useful to developers who are seeing low sales on a pay for app and are looking for a way to increase revenue.

I just saw that the plus version reported less than 50 sales (in cyrket) so Im bit skeptical at extrapolating the results to a trend. Probably there are more sales from sources other than the Market, do you have absolute numbers that you can share? Anyhow, thanks for sharing.
