I took 25K of them....down to scrounging around for pennies and nickels under the seat cushions now.
Thanks Storm. Yes, I saw your comprehensive list - but this helps. I should of looked back thru the blogs.
I tried to play with your new alaytics site (xyologic) - but appannie seems much more straightforward.
I like the commitment to hold share structure thru Q1 2013. MRNJ continues to balance revenue and expenses carefully to show they are profitable (if only a little) and not hold long term debt. It is comforting to know that significant dilution is off the table.
Question - "Yesterday we had 14 apps in the US Top 200 Grossing Apps for iPhone/iPad." What are these apps:
1. Relax and Sleep Well (Paid)
2. Relax and Sleep Well (Free)
3. Ultimate Hypnosis (Paid)
4. ??
I want to have this list so I can track individually. Glenn Harrold is our hero so far. His apps are showing staying power worldwide and the long term popularity graphs in AppAnnie continue to show long term positive trends. I would have expected us to ONLY be talking about the popularity of Tolle's app right now - but admitadly I have beaten that horse to death and resigned myself to watching it grow from a seed.
Question - "iAd revenue has increased 10% from July to August 2012" Do we have an estimate for how much of MRNJ's monthly revenue is from iAD (%)?
I am glad to see the new app. At first glance it looks like it will pull market share away from ultimate hypnosis and relax.
Storm,
Yesterday must of been a good day for UH. It was the first day in all of August that I saw it appear double digit for the number of countries in top 1000 with 12!
Agreed. And a realistic timeline.
It is unbelievable that they have led us all this way with repetitive push notification blogs (even showing examples of screen shots) only to pull the plug at the last minute. You are telling me that nobody did the math on paying the third party companies software fee until now?
Like you said, that should of been like step 3 in the project plan. Unfortunately things like this lead us to question the company releases.
I guess being green depends on your avg share price. I certainly will be.
Actually, the chart is looking like the pps is getting ready to make another step up...may be reaching the end of this consolidaton. Of course we do need some news for momentum. I got excited thinking maybe the blog today was going to be announcing some of the long-awaited items....but it appears to be more industry information.
No, just does not make sense. Everybody does not seem to be on board.
So this is what their push-notifications were going to be...simply an integration of an already commercially available product? I really thought they were programming this functionality themselves from the get-go.
I agree, they don't have enough money to subcontract.
IR told me that they HOPE Tolle starts to publicize the MRNJ app in November. That is a poor answer based on all the hype MRNJ did for this app. It also does not speak strongly for the MRNJ-Tolle business relationship. I am going to email Tolle's company next.
I agree about the recent delays. I thought MRNJ said in a blog that they expected apple to be giving them priority treatment since they are now a "successful" publisher. This is one of the longest delays I have seen. Does not seem to be priority.
My only solace is that we have another record month this month and that the eventual launch of Glenn Harrold may lead to another record revenue month next.
Blog Update: August 10
Our new mega-app “Ultimate Weight Loss by Glenn Harrold” was submitted this week for review by Apple, we believe it will be released any day now.
Today is August 29th !!! “Any Day Now” from MRNJ or “company spokesman” seems to be very arbitrary. Cmon MRNJ – be smarter than this. Where is power push?
Also – why does Etolle’s website still have NO mention of the special app that was created by MRNJ for them to make $$ ???
In fact it is worse. Under the FAQ section of Tolle’s website it doesn’t even mention the app within the response to the posted question about watching TolleTV on an Ipad.
This makes no sense!
"More mega-apps coming out any day"
If used in the same way that MRNJ uses this.....November.
Agreed - never sold a share. From recent months:
Blog Date: April 9
Another complex app for Eckhart Tolle TV is also nearing completion and we expect it to do well when it is released. Eckhart Tolle TV has been growing with tens of thousands of subscribers currently, and our app will be the main mobile portal for existing and new customers.

Eckhart Tolle, the #1 best-selling author in Oprahs Book Club, has a major sold out retreat in New York this month, and our goal is to have his mega app approved by Apple by then. It has even more features and is more complicated than the other ones, so its taking longer to release. We expect this app, since its subscription and in-app based, to outsell nearly all our other apps eventually. Eckhart Tolle teachings has committed to promoting the new app to Eckharts 500,000+ facebook fans, website subscribers, and its huge newsletter contact list, as well as other major media outlets to be disclosed in the future. An Android version will follow shortly after iOS version of the app is released. We believe both Apple and Google will feature this app on their respective app stores.

****Update: Shareholders have asked us for update on Mega Movie app…it is on track and close to launch…a final name has been decided (we will reveal soon)… we would like to launch with higher level content… perhaps even some A level…we don’t know if that will happen by launch…but Mega Movie (in-house working name) will have a lot of great HD video and audio content in many genres, and content will be added on a regular basis…it will most likely come out after ETV and perhaps a few smaller mega-apps …. all the key programming is complete and has been tested in the field via our other mega apps…hang tight i-mobilizers….your day is approaching.
I bought shares...
Blog Date: July 4
Eckhart Tolle TV app will most likely launch this month, we had to add the July issue to the app, and give it a final testing. We made the app have its content dynamically update so we wouldn’t have to get Apple approval each new issue, as well as ability to save issues on device and have social media integration. All these features and more will be incorporated into our flagship “Mega-Movie/Media” app which will come out soon after ETV.

Eckhart Tolle App Released
Blog Date: August 4
We expect to submit our new mega-app “Ultimate Weight Loss by Glenn Harrold” on Monday, as well as the Power Push Notifications for “Relax and Sleep Well”, which has about 1 million users. If all goes as expected both will be released next week. Of course we will use the new Power Push notifications to promote new mega apps, and because Relax has 1 million users and our system puts the app launch right on the users screen, we believe it will be a very powerful promotional tool, which costs us very little to use each time.
I only want MRNJ to make money so I can make money. The good thing about their blogs is transparency, the bad thing is that it commits them to an expected timeframe.
Per AppAnnie the Tolle app and Ultimate hypnosis apps are blowing up. Crazy volume - going hyperbolic. Worldwide excitement shown in Uganda, Peru, and the dark side of the moon.
...Or new app and power push submitted between the 6th and 10th. I guess apple is just really slow, because if it had been denied then the blog would have said they had to resubmit. Right?
I read a little on the yahoo board. Goodness! I am glad this board is much more constructive.
Storm, on your revenue chart - why do the individual quarters for 2011 not total to the annual revenue on the top right summary? Sorry if I am missing something reviewed before.
I am still very unhappy in the way ETolle was rolled out - and seemingly not backed by the Tolle company. Obviously this was a big deal for MRNJ - and I am not pleased with "growing organically". Timing is really everything and it seems we started paddling after the wave has passed.
I wrote IR and they understand - but still feel confident that promotion/adoption will start this fall. It sounds like the Tolle organization is very slow to deal with.
Was "create wealth and success" always available on the relax and sleep well mega app? I don't remember it being there.
Cheche - don't worry about D, he showed up all of 14 days ago. Lets see how he feels in year 2. Maybe he brings a crowd along, and we all know that MRNJ needs momentum.
You certainly don't have to post your purchases. But since you did - I certainly wonder how you can afford the commission on small block purchases. 2000 shares at .007?
Been here a long time...only speak my mind and concerns.
Agreed - now that I read the Q, I am underwhelmed. It looks like once again MRNJ has over promised and under delivered.
Questions:
What is this discussion about a 4 phase plan, and how are we just now STARTING the phase of mass delivery of apps? What happened to all this discussion of 100 apps per month? What kind of library of content do they still have to release? It seems we have moved from the mass production of B-release apps to "white label" already...not just starting.
I am still fairly disappointed in the Tolle rollout, especially after they built it up so much from the MRNJ side. Tolle has not promoted squat. In fact, their website FAQ implies that an app is not available.
The last Q report announced that MRNJ was hiring staff. But this one still confirms only 3 employees. One CEO, one CFO, and then one programmer???
MRNJ - focus on what makes money, then do it bigger and better. Their Q is right about one thing, they do have thetechnology risk of somebody else swooping in and taking over the market.
My favorite line from the blog....
"The company’s success would not have been possible without the loyalty and commitment of its shareholder base. Management is committed to plan that will return shareholder value in abundance to its long-time shareholders."
I want me some ABUNDANCE!
My Wish List for This Week
1. Q2 report shows Total Revenue exceeding $145,509 for a record quarter ever!
2. Net Income exceeds $10k
3. $1M in Total App Sales is surpassed.
4. Glenn Harrold weight loss app is released.
5. Push Notifications will start on Friday and will occur every two weeks (AND work as advertised)
6. Video App is submitted to Apple and will contain free viewing of all past "Lost" episodes!
(i will settle for 5 out of 6...)
wasn't the volume today 560k?
Last three trading days have been solid accumulation. No hangman patterns. Hope this builds to a good next week where we can break towards .01.
Storm, when you say "Featured in iTunes in 71 places (was 65)"
What does that mean to you? When I go to itunes - I have to either look for it in the "top100" list or search for it by name...
Storm,
I finally got around for looking at appannie for myself. Admitadly, I always depend on your posts to hear the good/bad.
It is very interesting tool. I especially like to look at the rank history to see the graph showing a long term trend if the app is becoming more/less popular.
Couple questions:
1. Is there a place within appannie that reports simply how many times an app has been purchased? Everything appears to be top 200/500/1000 rankings...
2. Is there a way to store the apps that you want to look up on a regular basis instead of having to search for it eac time?
I would suggest all shareholders download "Relax Sleep Well" (free version) so we can all see how the "push" notification works when it is released this/next week.
I believe that MRNJ also has little/no long term debt. They seem to be cash flowing the business well. I guess we will see again in a few days.
Long term, my only concern is what quality content do they have in the pipeline. I know what short term apps they are working on, but hope this un-named partnership opens them to new high-demand content.
IF this movie app does work out, it would provide a mechanism to sell their various video apps in one location. I bought the "Popeye" one the other day for the kids - they got a real kick out of watching it....but I don't think it is the quality material that will sustain this type of product long term.
I know, I was just using you and Cheche as examples. I have been adding as well on these dips, but since my cash balance is now $.34 at TDA, I guess I am done.
The only thing we know is someone is selling. I personally don't believe it is mgmnt, but who knows. It could be storm, it could be Cheche, heck it could be me!
(it is not me, I will probably be the last guy out the door turning the lights out)
Regardless, There are plenty of people like us who accumulated sizable positions over the last couple years that may be just fed up. I do think we are at a good time again when revenues are starting to catch up with the promises, but honest enough to know it has been a pretty tough ride.
There has always seemingly been "just enough" good news to keep a shareholder with hope....
Remember when the media fly deal was announced....sounded good. Remember when the "app transcendence" was cutting edge....sounded good. Remember when they were going to start their own app store....sounded good. Remember the deal with the travel app company.....sounded good. Remember the Facebook nonsense....sounded good. Remember Sony....sounded REAL good.
Now we are on the hook for a movie app, push notifications, an unnamed media content "partnership", and a gov prison contract!
Don't get me wrong, I think MRNJ is still worthwhile for the long term. But I certainly understand why a long term shareholder w/ a huge # of shares could decide they have had enough. It would be tough for any of us to get out quickly right now, just not enough volume.
I guess it is good that the "insiders" are gobbling up these cheap shares. I am done.
Let's get them outa the way before Q earnings are released on the 15th so we can move higher. Solid base here at .008.
Good post, worth repeating on the other board.
It is suprising that the Tolle app had bugs. They absolutely knew how important this app is, and how much they had advertised its launch. I thought they even made mention of purposely delaying due to more testing?
Based on the blog, obviously I was told incorrectly.
I persoannly do not believe this was a real IR reply:
1. It feels way to blunt and sarcastic. It does not sound like any correspondence I have ever received from MRNJ.
2. I personally have been in contact with Glenn Harrod's content company and they are "just now" starting development of the lose weight app. It will be a while.
eTolle App....opinions from members who have used it?
Is this everything they have built it up to be?
I posted around the boards as well.
