Ken,

I don't care about country of orgin, but that may be mostly because I don't even track the 5 or 6 sticks I own where it would matter lol. Also on the Cuban side you are missing the Vegas Robaina 5th Anniversary humi sticks and the Jubilaums Edition sticks.

Probably because I don't own any:)

oh, ok, I'll get them added :tu

Said it before Ken but this app is my number one app.

Especially now that I have the Aristocrat, one it makes keeping track easier and two I can now get to the things that are on the list.

Thank you for an exceptional product.

I'm just about done with the next version now. Main additions are a 'move between humidors' capability and a feature to email your entire inventory (or any subset of your inventory). Just a few user interface tweaks and some testing remain. Probably submit to apple this weekend.

Thanks for the continued support :tu

Man you beat me to it.

I was just going to ask if you could set up a mailing function to be able to mail a CSV file to yourself.

I think I will head on over to the other board I am on and post up a thread on your app.

Thanks for all your hard work Ken

this thread is getting huge, and I'm sorry if I'm asking something that has been gone over in one of the 20+ pages.

Would anyone besides me think having a "random cigar selector" for helping figure out what to smoke be a cool feature? Ken, would this even be possible? Maybe even utilizing the iphone's motion sensitivity by shaking it? :)

That code is already done :). It will be in the next release as well. Give the phone a shake, and it pops up a random cigar from your inventory. I had a technical glitch at the last minute, so commented out the code when I release that last version. And no, I don't think this was discussed in earlier parts of the thread. I was keeping it as a surprise :ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 
Ken,

First off great job with this app, I absolutely love it. I just purchased this last night and I have a couple of questions/recommendations after toying around with it for a little bit.

-Is there a way that you can add a 4 digit passcode feature to gain access to the app?
-Is there a way that you can differentiate between cuban cigars that are current production and those that are discontinued? Also, maybe even a separate way to recognize the limited edition or regional edition cigars. A nice way to do that would be to use separate font colors, or to group the cigar types together under separate headers (example: http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/bra...x?brand=Cohiba)
-If a cigar is discontinued, it would be nice to see the year that the cigar was discontinued rather than the word Yes.
-Is there a way to add the year that the cigar came into production?
-Is there a way that you can add packaging types to current production cuban cigars?

Thanks again Ken.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 
Ken,

I just noticed something. When I use the smoke one button if that selection is reduced to zero it doesn't remove it, it just shows 0 left in that box. Is that supposed to happen?

Also is there an easy way to transfer things to a "smoked" list so you can see what you have smoked and bought over the years.

I'm sure there's a way; I'll take a look at what it would take; haven't really considered that before, but I understand a couple of scenarios where that would be desirable ;)

Yes, I did this in the original web version of Mobile Stogie (which still exists, by the way, at this link. Is that what you have in mind?

Each of these presents some challenges in terms of maintenance (as well as mostly being relevant to Cuban cigars). I honestly never intended Mobile Stogie to become "the" definitive reference, but more focused on the inventory capabilities. Already, I'm sure the reference info around the 'discontinued' status is not 100% accurate. But, having said that, it is also clear that people are using this as a reference more than I expected. Let me see what I can do on these; I'll add 'em to the list ;)

I've toyed around with this, but wanted to keep it simple so left it as just reducing the quantity to 0 (but it won't go below that ;)). Often when I smoke the last of a cigar entry, I just tap the delete button to get it out of my humidor. But if you want to keep the record, and add notes or something, then you could edit the record and change the humidor to "smoked". This refers to current version...

In the next version I'm shipping this weekend, there will be a 'transfer' capability that will make this easier. I'll describe that in more detail after I get the testing done and ship it off to Apple...

There's a free app called Lose it! that you can check out that offers this feature. I think it would be a nice option to have for your app.

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. I understand what you're saying about not intending for this program to be used as a reference tool, but that's one of the big things that I would like out of it. :D

Thanks again Ken. :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 
Well, it took a little longer than expected, but I finally got the next version of Mobile Stogie submitted to the app store. Hopefully, the review process will be reasonable, and this should be available in a week or so. It will show up as Version 1.8.6 (current release is 1.7.0).

What's new:
  • Added capability to email cigar inventory data
  • Added capability to move cigars between humidors
  • Added 'shake to select random cigar' feature
  • User interface tweaks
  • Code optimization to reduce memory needs and to increase speed
  • Added hundreds of cigars to the default database

When I get a few minutes, I'll post some "use cases" to highlight how some of the new features can make things easier, especially for those of us who move cigars around (pifs, bombs, trades, herfs, etc.)

Thanks Ken. Looks like a good list of features. Thanks for working on this.

(I have another app where the programmer has been promising an update since I got the app in February. Still waiting for all of the feature updates.)

I had downloaded the application when you first posted it here and became available.
Frankly, been so busy, had not had time to toy with it since then.
Last night, while sweating watching the Yankees, I messed with it and did some updates.
Great new features added to it since I last used it.
Can't wait to see these latest updates.
Nice job.

I just want you to know bro, that I would be willing to pay for occassional upgrades. I don't know about the majority of the users but I don't mind paying now and again for upgrades since I know they require a bit of work on your part.

I'm thinking of a new model for adding cigars: to have a cigar added, you'd need to send me one, so I could do appropriate tests and measurements to ensure accuracy :ss

ok, maybe not ;)

Thanks for the support, but right now the app store doesn't easily support the concept of paid upgrades. They allow "in app purchases", with which I could enable a "pay $$ for expanded features" kind of model, but to me it feels like nickel and diming people. If they ever did the true paid upgrade model, I might take advantage of that to offset the work for a major feature upgrade, but it's working fine for me now, since it's just a hobby anyway.

I do appreciate the support and feedback from CA members though :tu

Well being that thanks to you I now have a method for tracking my cigar collection I'm sure SOMETHING could be worked out lol. Oh and as for the SLR Pacifico unless you are a SLR kinda dood you won't like it, it wasn't great to me.

Very nice! Feature request - I would love for a way to import data if we wanted to edit it on a computer.

And just throwing out another vote for a better way (than using the "Smoked" humi) to keep track of smoked cigars!

Thanks for the great app!!

Any light at the end of the tunnel as when this will be approved? I haven't seen them take over a week to approve and we've hit that point! :( I know you don't have control.. just wanted to vent about Apple's slow approval process.

The last update took a while to get through Apple's process too from what I can remember. Not Ken's issue, but this isn't a one-time thing. The only reason I remember is becasue the last update included the "Smoke 1" update that I was itching for, and I was checking the store for updates daily for about 10 days (maybe more).

I've yet to see them approve anything within a week. Depending on volume of apps (always increasing), I typically see between 1 and 2 weeks to approve. Plenty of horror stories of developers getting into several months of limbo as well, but (knock on wood) I haven't had that happen yet. I'm guessing sometime this week.

Actually I have started to look at the Android platform, but mostly as a curiosity at the moment. I seriously doubt that I'll have the time to learn and develop on a 2nd platform. The only reason I even look at it is that I'm sick to death of AT&T. I really like my iPhone, but I have enough issues with AT&T to consider alternatives. To me, the Android platform will best be remembered as the competition that drove Apple to fix the AT&T problem, and hopefully continue to drive innovation forward as well.

It's a little tricky to use landscape mode for apps with a "Tab Bar" (the bottom of the screen with the different sections of the app), but it can be done. Is there a particular view that you think would benefit from landscape mode?

There's some strong rumors out there in the last day or two about the iPhone porting to Verizon. Nothing firm, but something to watch.

The Anaconda is there now. The Taboo's are a sadder story :rolleyes:

I have exchanged email since April with Rob, and he continues to promise the info to add to the database, but he's a busy guy and hasn't gotten around to it. Most recently, I re-sent him the template 2 weeks ago. He again told me he'd get the info back to me, but I know he's busy launching a new website.

I honestly thought this would pretty easy, as I figured he would have the info sitting in a database somewhere. But what do I know :confused:

I think Verizon is being a little bit careful to attack the AT&T network, rather than specifically the iPhone itself. Might be hedging their bets :2

Either way, it's a brilliant ad campaign.

Actually, they specifically target the iPhone with their "iDon't" bullet points. This is the heart of the campaign and gets more play than the talk about the network. They also go after Apple policy with the "no open software development" line.

I still wouldn't be shocked if the iPhone came to VZW, but considering the amount of money they are spending on a (basically) anti-iPhone campaign it doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon.
