Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

If anyone is hesitating abotu the 3.99 Let me tell you that it is 100% worth it!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Well, day 2 saw a few more copies sold, so word has started to leak out perhaps :) Apple recently said that there were over 30 million combined iPhone/iPod Touch's sold, so I can dream of some fraction of a percent of those, right? :D

What's interesting is that in the daily sales data that Apple provides me, I see which country the sale came from. So far, these are the countries represented:

• Australia
• Canada
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Sweden
• United States

I think there are over 50 countries with app store access, so I haven't achieved any market dominance yet :ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Still pretty sweet! Glad to hear that people are buying the app. :wo

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just finished CC inventory of my cooler.

137 total
29 unique

and I have'nt gotten to the NC's yet.

I love this app in fact I may go buy an I phone so I can buy it again :-)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I am dying to try this out. If anyone has an iPod Touch they want to sell/trade let me know.

Pales in comparison to many of you but I'm working on it!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I am just waiting for the 32gig iPhone to debut in June/July :mad: and the first app I will buy is Mobile Stogie. Excellent work Ken and I am eagerly awaiting your updates and additional features. :tu

Link is not working unless you have iTunes for some reason. Click on the link in the first post of this thread.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

^^^Linky no worky for me!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

:tpd:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

The direct link is actually an iTunes link. If you don't have iTunes (which probably means you don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch ;)), then you can see the details at this URL. It's an iPhone app tracking website that doesn't require iTunes.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Looks great Ken! I have been seeing this thing spread like wildfire throughout the internet! Pretty cool you made the first mobile application for us cigar smokers! :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great app Ken. I'll be buying this in June when I buy my new phone, still using my first gen and it doesn't support the first gen. At least thats what it says when I try to download it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

My iPhone is a first gen. It definitely supports it, but requires OS version 2.2 or 2.2.1. For the iPhone, that is a free upgrade, if I remember correctly. Do you know what version you are running? (touch "Settings", then "General", then "About").

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just wanted to point out your app is currently the #56 top paid Lifestyle app

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Cool. Now if you'd just go buy a couple dozen more copies, maybe I could crack the top 50 :D.

Seriously, thanks to all the inmates in the asylum for the support. Sales have now come from 12 different countries:

• Australia
• Canada
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Sweden
• United States
• Germany
• Great Britain (UK)
• Russian Federation
• Italy
• France
• Hong Kong

That alone has made this a pretty cool experience for me. :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I finally got to down load the app today. Well Done! I'm entering my inventory now. :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Excellent! Another country ... Florida!! :r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

:r Can we get a list of what countries you have sold your application to so far Ken?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

All the ones I listed above, plus florida. Ya gotta keep up Hal!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
Please note.
As a Floridian, I need to correct you.
Florida is not a different country.
In actuality, a different country is in Florida, located just south of the Broward/Dade County line. Although frankly, that border has been gradually moving on up.
They even have an official language there and English won't work for you.:r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

awesome ap, dude!! working on adding illusiones to the db right now

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

:r :r :r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I picked up the app a few days ago. I haven't read this entire thread, but I will say that I look forward to seeing a more complete database (I know it's coming) and links to reviews or ratings would be superb. A lot of time I'm looking a cigars in the shop on the shelf and this would let me quickly see what others think about them.

Good job, well worth the $3.99. I look forward to seeing how this grows over time.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

One thing I would like to see in a future release would be a quick way to subtract a single smoke from the humidor from after you smoke it. From what I can tell, the only way to do that would be to edit the quantity which takes a few steps.

I have to say that this app is really saving me some weird looks around the house. Normally I go stare at my smokes and check in on them to say hi each day. Now I can just launch the app and check out my inventory without having to actually open the humi.

Now if I could only get the RH/temp to show up on my phone....

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I will say one great addition you could do. I am not a developer, so stop me if it is worth the effort or not.

I have a drink app on my phone that allows you to add drinks that aren't listed in the apps database. There are many cigar company lines(Holts, CI, etc.) that aren't listed. Granted you could spend all day and night listing brands, but could possibly let your customers take care of that for you, or at least for themselves.

Good looking app, and is now one of my most used.:ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

You can add any cigars you want to your own database. From the brand or cigar listing in the reference section, just click on the "add cigar" button, and you can add anything that's missing from the database. In the brand field (or any other field that has a picklist to choose from, just scroll to the top and you'll find a "Add New ..." selection. If you add a cigar with a new brand, then in the future that brand will show up in the picklist. Same is true of the other fields (shape, wrapper, binder, etc....).

Hope this helps. If you are referring to a different capability, please let me know...

As far as me adding more brands to the app in upcoming versions, I'll do my best, but I'm sure I will never capture them all. That's why I coded it for each user to add their own favorites.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great app Ken!! The wife downloaded it for me on her itouch. Now all we need is a way to password protect the humidors:ss Hopefully she'll never look how many cigars I have:rolleyes:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

In case I didn't mention it, Ken this is a great product.

Very well done

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

why is it the wives never care to look, heh

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Wow is all I can say. I got an iPod Touch so I could check this out. Very nice app. I am in the beginning stages of putting my collection in. The only thing I have noticed so far is that it would be nice to have a caps lock in the box code and format inputs.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Your wish is my command ;)

I just submitted the version 1.1 update to the app store (will probably still take a week for Apple to approve it). Here is what it contains:

• A few more cigar brands added (total of 101 new cigars; now up to 1,842). Illusione, Nub, and several others.
• Default to last used Humidor when adding cigars to MyCigars
• Picklists for "acquired from" and "format" fields in MyCigars section
• Default to all CAPS for box code field
• Some code cleanup and optimization

Still working on some cool feature for the next update, but with this update, the data entry should be a bit easier :tu

There is now also a new support website for Mobile Stogie. Check it out at www.mobilestogie.com (thanks to my son Jon for the website building).


.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Downloaded my copy a couple of days back, now to begin the task of updating my inventory.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

The default to the last humidor would have been my only comment. Glad to see that addition. :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Dang... that was fast:r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

When is the update available? Don't see it yet. Thanks again for the showmanship

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

As I mentioned above, it seems to take Apple about 7 days to approve an app submission, but I have no experience on app "updates". One would hope it would go faster, but we'll see.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'm new to the iPhone, do updates override data? I'd hate to lose all of the work I've put into my mobile stogie, but love the changes you've made...

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
Check out one of your reviews on the application.
I too am creative.
I used "CigarAsylumMember".
Might as well plug this site while at it.:r:r:r

I noted one person knocked you down from five stars and seems it was accidental. They appear to have forgotten to check off the stars form the default setting of one. Shame but hopefully there will be enough 5's to compensate.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

The update will not overwrite your data. This update includes a framework for checking your database version, and only updating reference data that I've added in the new version. It will not touch the "My Cigars" part of the database.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I agree! And thanks for the review :tu

I noticed that too. Oh well :rolleyes:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

So I synced my phone with my computer but Mobile Stogie isn't showing up in my apps list on itunes?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Try right clicking on the iPod icon in iTunes and selecting transfer purchased items. If that doesn't work, make sure you have the option checked to sync apps under the application tab.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Well just bumped it with a 5 star. I've been enjoying playing around with this app.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

FYI ... version 1.1 was posted to the app store last night. It should notify you automatically of the free upgrade.

This update was somewhat minor, adding another 101 cigars to the database and a few user interface improvements. Mostly, it helped my restructure some code to facilitate future improvements, and to test the update process. Seems like everything is working fine with the process, so I recommend that you update to version 1.1.

Now working on some cool features for a version 1.5 or 2.0 upgrade. Many users have emailed me suggestions, so I have plenty of ideas to implement :)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken, What about a tab for accessories? Not really needed but could be cool?

I still think there needs to be something for the app to pick up the signal from my wireless transmitter in humidor so I can check humidity/temp at all times! lol :)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

My friend has this on his iphone and he likes it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'm lazy. I've tried a lot of other apps - but they all required to much user info in addition to having to run to the computer. That's all changed now!

Downloaded - played with - rated and wrote a review!

Don't know how much of personal inventory I will add due to the amount that I smoke daily - I really just want a database to look up smokes in - and this fills the bill perfectly. I may though decide to use it as a "I have this smoke" with out actually keeping track of how many.

No matter though - this is the best app, mobile or otherwise that I have tried to date!

Kudos Ken - :tu :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Neither of those are out of the question ;). The latest code that I'm testing on my iPhone includes a ring gauge tool that is very accurate. Working now to linking into cigar listings so you could quickly find the cigar you are holding ...

And the new iPhone OS that is coming out in june will provide more external accessory capabilities, so stay tuned :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Appreciate the review and feedback :tu
