Q: Will there be free version?
Yes, we are going to release free ad-supported version for Windows Phone.

See where keeping a level head and researching gets you opposed to cursing and having a tantrum?

I was level headed in my initial email with them. and why didn't they just release the free version first just like everyone else? I am also not the only one who was pissed about this.

Because Coding with a api to monetize the app with ads takes more work and takes longer for Microsoft to approve as it has to be tested more to make sure it meets quality standards of the market and also the developers.

It boils down to this. they decided to get something out the door, it happened to be the pay app first. If you dont want to pay 9.99 for it then wait patiently for the free one to be ready and pass all its requirements and be released properly.
