The chart really does look good. Would like to see us string together another 3 or 4 $3k+ days over this weekend and next week.
We still need another top-flight author/personality to join the ranks. I would like to see real diversity...like a golf lesson app or even a match-making app. Wasn't MRNJ in that business previously?
Interesting Tolle numbers. Obviously the trend is much easier to see when looking thru the top 300 lens. Thanks for the perspective.
Looking at the Tolle chart I posted - it shows there is still growing momentum over the long term.
It sure would be interesting to see revenue by author. No doubt that GH is carrying the lions share. Would be nice to have it split between 5-6 authors and a video app!
18 months ago I would of bet that Tolle would be the lead money maker by now.
Agreed. No group.
This is just a bunch of made-up nonsense. PPS is suffering from a lack of investors, public awareness, and raising of funds to pay staff.
Hope something changes soon, or the ship will start to take on water.
Management needs to control what it can control. Sometimes they are their own worst enemy in the communication they share.
Internal plans and brainstorms need to stay in the boardroom - and only share on the blogs when it comes to fruition. You cannot blame investors when frustration occurs from company speak:
The Group said (Oct 29, 2012)
We are currently close to signing 5,000 TV shows and 1,000 feature films, from new content providers, many of which are not on iTunes now.
The Group said (Nov 16, 2012)
Today we are sending over contract to be signed by a new top ten major content company, just behind Sony in terms of size that has thousands of titles. We expect to formally announce completion of deal very soon.
The Group said (Nov 16, 2012)
MRNJ has recently been offered seven figure non-dilutive funds from a large investment group. This would allow us to lease top-tier content for AppFlix, our up-coming movie app. Management is going over terms and will make a decision in the near future.
The Group said (Nov 20, 2012)
Auto-Post is well underway, and we are burning the midnight oil to get it out soon. This opt-in patent-pending technology will allow our apps to potentially post to millions of facebook and twitter accounts in exchange for free content, prizes and other incentives.
With our large user-base of over 1.3 million app customers, we believe this new technology will be a quantum leap from our already effective Push-notification system, since ads will be seen by our users and their friends.
The Group said (Nov 21, 2012)
Based on preliminary meetings with one of the largest live act promotion companies, MNRJ will likely make an HD video subscription app that will contain the live shows of many of top artists on the charts today. The first major event will occur on New Year’s eve and the app is expected to be released shortly after that. Management has known the owners of this major live promotion company for years, and approached them about this project over 2 years ago, only recently with the explosive app boom and seeing how MRNJ apps are in the top of the charts, they have now expressed serious interest. We expect a deal to be signed soon.
The Group said (Nov 30, 2012)
Management is meeting with best-selling author Gary Zukav next week to go over content organization for his upcoming app. So far we have over 45 gigabytes of Zukav content to distribute.
Storm - in AppAnnie it is showing a huge jump for Glenn Harrold Ultimate Hypnosis on Android devices on the 3rd and 4th. It went from being in the top 500 in only 2 countries to 25+ countries.
Can you verify thru your other sources...
No. I agree, frustrating.
January was good to most all the mega apps:
ETolle
GH - Ultimate Hypnosis (itunes and android)
GH - Relax Sleep Well (paid and free on both itunes and android)
GH - Ultimate Weight Loss
Bonetti - 20 Minute
GH - Deeps Sleep Chinese (itunes and android)
...have all hit their all-time highs based on app popularity recorded by AppAnnie.
The only one I see that has not is Bonetti - Complete Hypnosis.
I understand everyone's concerns about all the other stuff - but product is selling!
Storm, did you notice how Tolle compared?
I am glad that MRNJ has decided to move ahead with rolling out a movie app. It may not be their first choice in names, but they seem to be skilled at re-packaging apps for re-release.
I am skeptical because 1. We have already been waiting a long time. 2. Didn't they just announce releasing a fitness video app...so which one is it going to be?
Don't get too excited about outside investors. There is always a catch to those deals and obviously MRNJ is trying to control its own destiny.
If they are ready - go for it! Legal negotiations can take a while.
colectin - sorry to hear.
I am right at .01 after averaging down last year. I have resigned myself that this is a boom or bust commitment!
I agree. My hunch is that it did not play-out to their expectations (or else is immeasurable). Otherwise, we would be hearing more about it.
I suspected such when I asked repeatedly on the board for an explaination of how the function works - and nobody could really explain.
I am facebook illiterate - but I downloaded the app and my wife agreed to release information thru her facebook page....but we never saw anything occur.
Thursday and Friday were amazing days for Android version of GH Relax Sleep Well. Previously, this app ranked in the top 1000 of 7 or 8 countries at most. Friday it jumped to 28! Unless there is a glitch in the AppAnnie reports - something pretty big just happened..
Sounds like Lance Armstrong is going to drive a lot of viewers to oprah's site this next week. Wish there could be some bleed off to Tolle or Zuvak.
Storm, you are certainly deeper into the analytics than I am - but I agree...
Since Jan 1st I think Tolle, Glenn Harrold RSW (both paid and free), GH Deep Sleep (Chinese), and Ultimate weight loss apps have all hit record high popularity.
Hurry up Zuvak...
I think we still just suffer with being an unknown company. People are going to buy/sell based on company momentum and news - but you still have to have investors to do it!
For example - today we only have 197 subscribers to this board. We had 166 a year ago!
It is hard to believe that in 3 years MRNJ has moved from an estimated $77/day in revenues to breaking the $3000/day barrier.
Agreed, I think both versions of relax and sleep well had near-term record days of rankings yesterday.
Also to note that Glen Harrold's Deep Sleep (Chinese version of RSW) had a record day since being released at Christmas. Again, the numbers are relatively small in comparison to others - but yesterday was the first day it has broken the top 1000 in 4 countries.
Yes, great day. Wish the volume was higher - but love the fact that we finally captured the $3k day. I wonder how many times in the last 3 months we were right at the cusp....
Saturday was a big day for GH Relax and Sleep Well. Usually all the attention is on the free version, but according to AppAnnie Saturday was a record day as far as gross rankings for the paid version.
Top 500 in 27 countries.
Storm - I do not see the Android GH Chinese Deep Sleep app in Appannie yet...any thoughts?
It is a shame when new investors come to the board what they read. Unfortunately the substantive DD posts get quickly buried behind "chatter". If it was me, I think I would move on as well.
I am not saying that everything has to be roses. I have posted my share of concerns over the years- but some of this stuff is flat out nuts.
Frustration is high, and we are not doing ourselves any favors.
It is a small company. Some things work out well. Some don't.
Reply to Storm - Reading AppAnnie Charts
I was looking at the charts a little closer last night. Look at the Tolle Chart and how the last 6 weeks the "brokenness" of the daily rankings chart has changed. I always look at the chart and try to picture an overall trendline - but probably overlooked the consistency as well.
Storm Reply: The surge of new activations and downloads, etc, throw the character of the ranks into a different look or product mix. However, just because MRNJ Mega-Apps appear to selling less because their rank is lower, keep in mind that these chart ranks are qualitatative rather than quantitative. Like weekends, although the ranks of the Mega-apps are lower, do you really think the absolute quantity of downloads/purchases are lower? No.Otherwsie, why would comoany typically have recrods sales days on weekends and specdifially Sundays?
snowydog said: I know the recent blog notes a near record sales day this past weekend, but the app popularity charts that I posted yesterday show a weak-final-week of the year.
Thanks storm for the detailed reply. Makes sense. So what days do you specifically think are peak download days?
I know the recent blog notes a near record sales day this past weekend, but the app popularity charts that I posted yesterday show a weak-final-week of the year. The blog said that they looked forward to breaking multiple sales records over the holidays.
I look forward to the annual 2012 numbers.

Glenn Harrold Chinese App (Deep Sleep)...has hit the charts and seems to always be ranked in a couple countries - but does not have consistant data yet to show a meaningful graph.
Final thoughts before x-mas...
1. Chinese version of RSW is being reported in AppAnnie now. No countries showing up in popularity ratings quite yet, but will watch.
2. I do not see any appreciable difference in RSW's popularity numbers pre/post auto post. Again, I do not understand the technology - maybe it is having an effect on sales.
3. I am disappointed with the Tolle report in AppAnnie over the weekend during the Oprah event. There was a small blip on Sunday, but not what I expected given the communication campaign. I watched the streaming version of Oprahs show. It was not long interview segments with each philosopher - just quick Q/A clips with all of them mixed together. Zuvak and Tolle were guests. No promotion. It sounds like she does this routinely on Sundays??
Again, just to restate for all, AppAnnie only shows relative popularity of apps compared to others - not direct sales.
Merry Christmas, see everyone next year.
I am beginning to understand, by loking at appannie, that even though sales (from a macro level) increasing - they are hit/miss day to day. Just look at some of the charts I have posted - lots of daily fluctuation. Look at the Tolle app chart that MRNJ just blogged about - sure there is the few days of huge spikes in sales...but then there are plenty of unimpressive days around it.
Don't get me wrong - I look at the overall trend...but it is like some days are golden...and some days are dim. Honestly, I think MRNJ is very selective to post their "app sales are up XX% over last month" statements on the golden days...trying to build momentum. Not knocking them, I would do the same thing. AND - does it really matter? As long as we have continued quarterly revenue growth and new quality projects being released?
In order to bust thru the 3K then we need a day of focused sales. I would assume that this would happen this week, but I have been wrong before...
