True. I think it was all the talk on how the Tolle app was going to be the cash cow was my hook...followed by app flix with the fancy graphics on all the movies that were ready to upload into the app....and release!
I agree...if they were hiring programmers to churn out more and more successful mega apps. My underlying concern is that we have announced deals that do not have a reasonable production time. A new app a week would be great.....and not just repackaged GH.
I will post some new charts showing MRNJ App tends from AppAnnie.
It was pretty well written - AND was the first time I can remember MRNJ commenting on profitability of other business units. I kinda thought all the other ventures were DOA right now.
I can play fair - there are a lot of good things that have happened. They have developed a good core amount of apps. They have signed new content providers. Tolle is the real deal.
IMO:
1. They need to focus on getting new authors published - there is much too long of a wait between the author being signed and new apps being released.
2. Go ahead and release AppFlix using all the B-Content they have. I will support it and promote it - especially if it is very low cost. It proves the technical ability of the app and shows potential content holders (i.e. Sony types) that the playform exists.
3. Complete the refresh of Tolle App and get them to advertise on their site for the app itself (it is still downplayed on their site compared to pc-subscription).
No. I was providing facts that refute your claim of a sudden "increase" of board followers. 200 is very poor, reflects the fact that there is no marketing or interest in my opinion. Remember the revolutionary things auto-post was supposed to do?
Agreed - it seems to take over a year. It appears Zuvak is a more popular author and we are on that same track...
We have 200 followers on the board today.
In March we had 195.
In October, 2012 we had 184.
In March, 2012 we had 172.
Great! Another Glenn Harrold app.
Latest blog seems to read like a company for-sale ad. I would rather hear a DATE for release of the zuvak app!
If MRNJ is claiming that sales are 66% higher than Q1+Q2 of FY12, then why would we not expect a $445,700 type number?
Reply to Collentin...
I agree completely. Take Zuvak for instance - MRNJ should not announce the deal until there is a reasonable schedule for development and release.
Storm, been away for a while.
Has there been news when the first Zuvak mega app will be released?
Even if they publish AppFlix with their b-level material - at the right price it will sell. I would buy it and gladly support.
A published, working, app is better than a trademarked name and "theory".
Probably not. After listening to Mr. Tolle - he does not seem to be the kind of speaker that would "promote" anything material or commercial. Now maybe one of his PR people...
In the last year we have added 23 more followers to this board.
Nope - Feb 13th remains the all time grossing high in popularity according to AppAnnie.
Actually might be hitting an all time high - will look tomorrow.
AppAnnie - Apps and Social Networking
AppAnnie has a very long blog posting right now on the monnetization occuring on social networking apps. I know that MRNJ does not have a social networking app per-se, but it does relate since Metatron has been trying to integrate their product thru social applications for advertising purposes:
Also included in their blog is a a historical chart of Apple's "Find My Friend" app. I personally don't use this app - but they are posting it to show the big jump in popularity during the past year:
You know, this chart made me look back and compare to our Glenn Harrold's Relax Sleep Well app:
Don't get me wrong. I am NOT really trying to compare GH's product to Apple. Just imagine the money, resources (and advertising) that Apple is able to use to promote "Find My Friends" - and the fact that it probably integrates into all of Apple's devices.
I am just blown away that our little old Glenn Harrolds app was even in the same hemisphere!
I am very surprised that we have not had any more $3k+ days in Feb. I steadily watch the AppAnnie charts and all of the large mega-apps seem to be steadily trending up. M4Inner Wisdom has really jumped in popularity since being released as a mega. Now we have several new GH apps being released in Android.
Everything seems to be churning in the right direction...
Why are we not having more occasional 3k+ days?
Storm, I trust you put more thought into it than anyone. It seems like your estimate was a little high last year, so I would not blame you for being more conservative.
It does seem like much more has been accomplished this year than is represented by 11% annual growth. We had an all time record quarter. We had record sales days. We have many more consistent revenue-producing apps.
It sounds like you are suggesting that FY13 may be the year we truly have a chance to monetize on this work.
Deep Sleep (Chinese)had a very impressive day on the 20th according to AppAnnie. This app has steadily increased in popularity since initial release before Christmas.
On the 20th it cracked the top 10 in Peru, but more importantly is in the top 200 in Hong kong and the top 500 in the US, UK, Canada, and Singapore.
This is an app that most of us were excited to get out and something that authors (and MRNJ) should take notice of.
