Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Hey Ken,
Since your is the ONE and only app I have on my Touch, and since we are waiting for approval of your latest version, I thought of you when I read this. Now you can see where your app is in the approval process: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/...le-iphone-app/ |

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Got the "Your application is Ready for Sale" email about 1/2 hour ago, so version 1.8.6 should be showing up sometime this evening. Sometimes it takes and hour or so, sometimes several hours; I never fully understand the process :rolleyes:
Reminder of what's new:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Here's a use case for the 'move between humidors' capability:
If I grant a wish on the MAW or TAW thread (even when I'm not at home, since I have my inventory with me ;)), I just create a new humidor with the name of the BOTL that I'm sending the wish to. Then I browse through my other humidors and move cigars 1-by-1 into the newly created humidor. Once I get home, I can just look at that one humidor and quickly grab the sticks to box 'em up for shipment. After that, I just delete that humidor, and I get prompted to delete the cigars that I added to it. I've used that capability several times in the past couple of weeks; very handy. |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
I just purchased your app about 5 minutes ago. Mine has the "shake" feature, so I guess the new version is live?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken - I was doing an "email" to myself from the program, and for some reason, I cannot select one of the Humidors. I can select 2 of the Humi's I use, and even my wishlist, but the 2nd humi on the list it will not let me put a check mark beside... any thoughts?
Edit: I deleted the humi and made a new one and it worked. The only thing I can think of is that it didn't like the ' that i had in the name. |

Also, can you try adding a new cigar to that humidor, and then delete that cigar? Then does the email function work? Very strange problem, but we'll figure it out. |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken,
if the program can output a cab file...can it be made to import a Csv file? That way we could enter all of our cigars in excel and import into the app? Just a convenience. |

1. Each application is 'sandboxed' on the device, and not allowed to access any data of other apps (including email attachments, etc.) This is actually a good thing, so that malicious things can't be done between applications on your device. Of course it also creates some limitations that require clever things to work around. 2. The database structure itself has to maintain relationships between the reference data for a cigar, and the cigars that you put into your humidor. It does this with certain 'reference keys' that you would need to know about in order to create the spreadsheet/csv file in the first place. Ultimately, the answer is a companion desktop app and/or online service for synchronizing your humidors. Both are under consideration, but pretty large undertakings. I already spend a LOT of time on this app, so I can't promise, but I continue to look for a way to give you guys what you are looking for :tu |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
oooph, a lot more than I anticipated.
No worries, it was just a thought. THanks for all your work. |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken,
Thanks a million for this app, it's great! |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
In case you are wondering what all the updated cigars are all about, I have now gone through EVERY cuban cigar in the database and verified the information to the best of my ability (invested about 8 hours in this; currently 853 cuban cigars in the database):
- Removed duplicates - Added a bunch of special release cigars - Validated the status (current production, special release, or discontinued) - Fixed a bunch of typos The reason I did this is that the next version of Mobile Stogie will list the cuban cigars in "groups", starting with current production, then special release, then discontinued. This will make it much easier to find any given cigar in the reference. (Though I could do this for the NC's as well, I have no confidence that I can maintain the status of those 1,000's of cigars.) This feature is about done, but I want to add two more features before shipping the next release: - Ability to move from Wish List to a humidor (forgot to do this before ;)) - Some basic search functionality (at least search by brand and/or name) I'll let you know when I get these features done, and shipped to the app store :tu |

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken,
I've found an issue that crashes the application. When moving 2 singles from 1 humidor to another, the cigars are moved and the application crashes. Tried it 4 times and it occured all 4x. Could just be me....or not. |

if you could describe exact steps, I will fix it asap. Thanks |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
It seems totally random as to when it fails
My procedure: I go into My Cigars, drill down through the Humidor, Cubans, Marca, Vitola. I then click on the arrow for "Cigars on the Move" I choose option 3 "Move to Humidor..." On the left dial I select 3 (or #), in the right dial I choose the other Humidor. I click Save and......Bam, back to the Apple Springboard. I just ran a test moving 3 cigars and it failed I then ran it moving 2 and it completed successfully. Then I ran it with 2 and it failed, and ran it again with 3 and it completed :confused: |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Any chance that you'll ad the ability to link or embed photos with the cigar / humidor records?
|
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Just bought my iphone a couple of hours ago, and have already downloaded your app. Going through and adding all of my cigars right now. Like what I'm seeing right now, great app!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
I just grabbed this app. Looks pretty sleek. Ever consider including pics of the cigars as well, inside the library? Maybe get your customers to upload standard pics (eg. Standard resolution, standard dimensions, photographed from same distance, cigar next to an iPhone -- for size comparison) to make it easier to collect thus data. Also, it would be nice to have the library link to a database of customer/forum reviews. Just some ideas I have.
Cheers Cy |

Just got it. Easy ui and good info. Only thing is it's not saving price paid. User error?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Well, it took me way longer than expected to get the new version of Mobile Stogie done, but I hope it was worth the wait. Version 2.0 now has a pretty useful search function (one of the most requested features). Tapping on the search icon will let you quickly find cigars in the reference or in your humidors. It will search any text string that you enter against both brand and name fields. It is a 'live' search, where the filtered list updates as you type each character.
What took so long was trying to optimize the code so that it performed well enough on the 1st gen iPhone (a much slower device). I spent a LOT of hours restructuring code to keep memory low and speed as good as possible. I think I got it figured out, and I think you'll be happy with the result. A few other things snuck into this release too. Here's the update text that I submitted with the app: Quote:
As always, feedback appreciated :tu |

Was wondering what the possibility of adding an "index" to the right hand side would be when scrolling through brands. To scroll through quicker. There may not be enough room. (May not be necessary now that you have added search.) |

FYI, Mobile Stogie is now on twitter as well (@mobilestogie). Seems like a good way to let users know about updates, new cigar additions, etc...

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken,
I love this app! You did great work. It helps me to keep a solid inventory of my smokes and know which humi or cooli they are in as well as ages and prices I paid. |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!

Now that I have the search function working, I'll finally get to work on the smoking notes section. This will be a major addition that will take some time, but I'll post updates and seek feedback as I go. |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Just downloaded the app. It looks nice so far, but I have a TON of work ahead of me. It's going to be especially hard because I have a lot of singles and I dont' know the details of, so I'll have to look up online first. Nice app though!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Updated the software on my app today, and them emailed myself the updated inventory. Pretty sweet! Sortable through Excel . . . just what I need is a tasty hobby that appeals to my natural geekiness, too.
|
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Ken,
Long time no suggest lol. There hasn't been any need since you've basically been killing it all on your own. But I am curious about something, does your inventory back up when your iPhone is backed up? If it doesn't might I suggest we move that to the top of the list? If it does can we augment it so that every time you connect it backs up? |
Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
Keep up the great work Ken!
