Storm, I would also be interested from MRNJ on what their top 5-10 selling apps are. It might be a good end of wrap-up blog to shareholders. The reason I ask is because we are so omni-focused on the mega apps....yet regularly see apps like GH Meditation 4 Inner wisdom and The Beatles apps do well.
Also, now that we know that GH is a shareholder...wonder if Tolle, Bonetti, or Zukav are as well? Would skyrocket if Oprah threw one days salary our way!
Glenn Harrold Apps - Charts
Ultimate Hypnosis
Relax and Sleep Well (Paid)
Relax and Sleep Well (Free)
Ultimate Weight Loss
The only one not trending up. It may be that a lot of these sessions are included in the Ultimate Hypnosis mega app as well. GH has a lot of redundancy in the content of his mega apps so it is hard to know what mega-app is cannibalizing another.
Appannie results on new Android apps...
Lordi - Complete Hypnosis Collection. From day 1 it was in the top 100 in Austrailia....until yesterday, it showed up in the top 1000 in Canada as well.
Glenn Harrold - Relax and Sleep (free). Is steadily gaining momentum. For the last 7 consecutive days (except 1, I think it was a glitch in the site) the app has posted ever-higher popularity rankings.
Agreed - still not sure I understand autopost yet. Has anybody registered their facebook account and seen what autopost sends out?
Agreed, I will be watching carefully. I think MRNJ is ahead of the curve on this one as well - translating one of their most popular into chinese. Think of it - 1.3 Billion people in the world speak chinese - and there is probably a limited number of apps for this one to compete against.
I don't think there is any evidence that they do not want to grow. Everybody here wants to make money. I am underwater as much as some of you....
But they have to have free capital in order to pay for hardware, software maintenance, rent, and also be able to pay staff. We can all see that they are reinvesting every dime back into development.
I think they are on the limb (just like us) waiting for that one/two deals that will send up revenues exponentially so they have free cash on hand. Truthfully, I would love to see expenses go up - that means they have $ to spend!
I would be much more frustrated if I saw profit listed in their annual reports and the AS was still being raised. Then we would all ask where those funds were going...
I agree with the comments concerning some of their "hard to believe" blog announcements without follow thru...I am happy with the project development transparency but would encourage management to only announce BIG items such as outside investors or sony deals only when they are closed. but then again, I can't blame them for trying to shift momentum.
There are a lot of mechanical things going right with app sales and ap development. It kills me to see the pps weak each day. It does not make sense, but I am still bullish as these quantatative items are headed in the right direction.
My guess - Tolle interviews Sigourney Weaver.
I received the same as kisser - but wanted to do a screen shot so all could see how professionally it was done. I could not screen shot the whole thing since it was so long - but got majority of it. The links were built right into the email to both itunes and google play. It does not look like it was thrown together last minute...
It is nice to see GH is a shareholder.
That would be disheartening - and will set the stock back 18 months. 1B is how many apple has, but then again...it's apple! My company has 400M. Seems like 500M is a good number of shares. Obviously MRNJ needs big jumps in revenue or an influx of capital.
Once someone gets a chance to play with the new app, I would love a step by step discussion of what it does (somehow simplified for us that do not use Facebook).
E-Tolle TV - Chart
I have mixed emotions about Tolle. Obviously the chart continues to strengthen (except for that giant downward spike that I cannot back up with the daily numbers, must be a glitch) - I just thought we would be at this place 60 days ago! On Dec 14th, the app set a new high in overall (grossing) popularity - and we all continue to see reports of Tolle's organization sending out communication. I just simply expected a steeper curve.
MRNJ Android Mega App Update:
1. According to AppAnnie, Lordi Hypnosis Collection on Android pretty much fell out of the rankings a few days after its release. Will keep watching it.
2. GH Relax & Sleep had been gradually losing ranks since its release on Dec 1...until yesterday. Yesterday it surged back to where it started.
Neither has enough data to graph.
Per AppAnnie, yesterday was a really strong day for GH's Ultimate Hypnosis, Relax and Sleep Well (paid), and Relax and Sleep Well (free). By my numbers, these were the highest grossing days since Nov 1. AND according to reports this afternoon, it looks like today may be even stronger.
I will try to post new charts this weekend.
AAAHHH... maybe it was ET's people that possibly paid for the facebook marketing? Lake, that maybe would explain what you are seeing AND make more sense in the fact that "likes" would be more important to the app authors than the app developer themselves. True?
Wouldn't this be more of a marketing tool for Harrold/Bonetti/Tolle than really MRNJ?
Not sure any of this makes much difference...who knows, maybe it is part of the Oprah marketing machine. I always thought her "book of the month" and "favorite things" promotions seemed ripe for exploitation.
Thanks - I am doing good to manage thru appannie. i signed up for xylogic, but could not figure the site out.
yep - looks kinda fishy. I am really not a facebook person - but appears to be akin to "buying lead sheets" in the old days.
Lake, have you found anything questionable about AppAnnie or Appshopper services that we use to report on app sales?
Appannie showed really good numbers mid-day for the Tolle / Harrold mega apps. I think we should have strong results to announce tomorrow.
I would add to that the Chinese RSW. MRNJ advertised a new mega app each month. I hope it is this one...then AppFlix in January.
I have to admit that I still don't quite understand "auto post". It probably does not help that I am one of the few without a Facebook or twitter account.
However, the AppFlix account I can get excited about. It has been a long time coming/discussed and I am ready for it to be launched. However, I do not remotely assume that we are going to complete with Netflix.
Should I assume it will be an app similar to other mega apps that you open it up and then can purchase individual movies listed within it? Actually, I hope not. I hope it is subscription ( budget-minded) that let's you watch any movie within as you would like.
It will be nice to diversify away from the self-help apps that we seem to be focused on and into general entertainment.
What is the date for the shutdown?
Great blog. I think MRNJ will certainly answer many concerns discussed on this website if they get another set of eyes interior books.
Personally, I learned a while back to not get excited about "game changing news" such as Disney, Sony, multimillion $ investors, etc....
I just keep my head down watching the app sales charts and revenue trends.
Storm,
I feel pretty comfortable using appannie - but thought it only reflected i-tunes apps. Is there a way to search for android apps as well?
I just sent a question to IR concerning the iad graph. IR replied 5 minutes later. Nice!
Long timers may be consistant - but are out of money as well. Most of us have probably done all we could do to average down to near .01 levels. Like it or not - we need momentum investors. I was hopeful when the "flex" team showed up and thought it would time-out nicely with the Q3 announcement. We are back to grinding.
