97% of Android downloads are free, in April

During the period of April, 97% of all Android downloads throughout its search properties were free apps, and that number has risen by 2% over March, according to mobile search firm Chomp's report
On Android, Chomp found that apps in the $4.01-$5.00 range stayed consistent with 0.3% of the download volume since March, but all other paid apps declined.

Maybe even more telling was the use of Chomp's "free" filter in April, a filter which allows you to see just the free apps. Android users applied this filter 12% of the time, while 33% of all iOS queries used the "free" filter.
