It could be worse, you could be doing it for a customer in which case it would be 10x harder.

As of yesterday's download report, I'm doing this for 3,000 customers :ss

(of course those are no longer paying customers :rolleyes:)

If the brand already exists, you don't need to add it. Go to that brand and then click the +.

and oh by the way, the next Mobile Stogie release is getting VERY close ... I have most of the review section done (yes, including photos :)). Now I'm starting on the email-my-review code, which shouldn't take long. I have a lot of travel coming up soon, so I'll get lots of airplane time to wrap up the code. Stay tuned :tu

One final note on this question: if I'm missing a bunch of cigars that you think need to be added, please let me know. I try to keep the database growing, since that's part of what make the app valuable to many.

They are in there now :tu. Also, I separated "Fuente Fuente Opus X" into it's own brand, instead of being included in the "Arturo Fuente" brand. Seems to be more correct this way, and more likely how people would look for them.

Hi Ken, Just wanted to say that I took about 2 months and researched all the cigar apps for my Iphone, and I have to say that yours is the best. It is also the first app that I have paid for. Thank you for your hard work. I also would like to contribute to your cigar database. Can you please send me your cigar inventory data sheet? I will fill it out and email it back to you. I have a few cigars that aren't listed. Thx.

What an awesome program. Spent all day yesterday loading my inventory in, looking through old receipts and trying to remember where everything came from.
My question is what is the best way to marked a cigar as smoked. Seems there is 2 ways; reduce the number by 1, or create a humidor called smoked(but then it is still counted as you have it). Can anybody help me with this?
And also when an update is released how do I get it, I'm using a Touch.

Thanks

Right now, you can create a "Smoked" humidor, and then move cigars to it. But I would reduce the qty to 0 in that humidor, so they don't count overall.

I am working right now on a complete 'review' section, where you can capture ratings, notes, photos, etc. in a completely separate area of the app. Taking a lot longer than I expected, but progress is being made :tu

When an update is released, you'll see a numbered 'badge' on the app store icon, indicating that one or more updates are available (updates are free, btw).

Hope this helps...

Hello,

I just did an update (2.0.1) and I don't believe that the database updated. I don't see Fuente Fuente Opus X as its on brand. That's why I am wondering if I've missed something.

Steve

I'm dumb! I didn't realize that database updates are not the same as app updates. And I'm a developer yet!!!!!

Ok... so now a valid question.

I had added Montessino No. 1 and they are included in the database update. How can I delete my addition in deference to the official database listing?

Thanks again for a great app!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 
Ken, Thanks for the quick reply. What would also be cool would be able to know when the last time you smoked a certain cigar. so when you marked them smoked it also keeps a record of the last time you smoked it.
Thanks.

Simple answer is that when you drill down to the list of cigars for a particular brand, any that you have added yourself are shown in a slightly different font (little darker color and italic). From that listing, tap the "Edit" button on the top right, and you'll be given a choice to delete any that you want.

The more complicated answer is that if you have cigars in your humidor linked to the cigar that you added to the reference, then you'll have to re-add that cigar to your humidor (since it now has a different unique key). Unfortunately, I never created the capability to 'switch' to a different reference cigar (on the list of things to do).

Too busy. Lately I'm only getting a few hours per week to work on the next version, so progress is slower than expected. But, I'm still getting in a cigar a few days a week, so can't complain :)

Surprising how complex it can be to manage images in the app, such that performance is what people expect, yet easy to use. Adding images is easy... managing them is challenging. For example, if you review a cigar in the app and add photos, how to manage going back afterward and editing that review, deleting photos, potentially adding another photo from your camera roll, etc., etc.

Fun stuff, but slow....

Ok after 2 days of ownership I can tell you this is an awesome program. If you're like me and are anal about things, and on top of that anal about being anal this is for you. You can get your entire inventory in very quickly, you can update pricing as you go. It's got great features and just yesterday what I thought was a good deal, after checking my inventory and last price paid, turned out to be not such a great deal.
It's worth every penny of that 3.99 it costs.

You can email your humidors to yourself and import into excel.

Gator, did you have a Iphone 3 and upgrade to the 4? I did that Friday and am trying to figure out how to import all my cigar info onto the 4. I'd hate to retype it all in.

When I upgraded from 3 to 4 my data was intact (no import or retyping needed).

Same here.
I had to select all my apps again for some reason, but the data was still there.
I didn't have to reselect the apps for my wife's though, which was kinda strange.

I've been rocking this for about 3 weeks. I absolutely love it! Its great for me who just started my sticks hobby to track all that comes in and out of the humis.

Chingas 07-07-2010 08:26 AM

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 
Hey KenS. I've had this app a while now but am new to CA. Can I make two suggestions?

1- allow photos of each cigar in the cigar details. Either a photo I can take or a stock one of the actual stick.

2- allow personal photos of each humidor

3- allow an add/submit option. Fir a stick that's not in the reference, allow a user to add it to their stash And also submit it to you for further review and future updates.

4- a user rating system shared by all users. Have the option to review or rate a stick, submit and be able to view a collective user rating of each stick in the reference library.

I love your app brother, it's awesome. I just thought these additions may make it even better. Hope you agree.
