Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

So until some sort of import function or the like is implemented, what is the best way to make sure I can restore my collection should something happen to my Ipod Touch? Does Itunes back it up? What if I get a new Ipod or Iphone?? Will I be able to transfer?

I've spend a LOT of time entering my collection and I would HATE to have to do it again. Thanks!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Short answer is yes, iTunes backs up the database and can be restored onto a new iPod or iPhone. The gap is in the scenario where something bad happens and you want to restore your device to factory settings, without using your backup. In that scenario, use your emailed inventoy and start tapping on the buttons :)

Hopefully that scenario is not very common.

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.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I had a similar crash during testing, but could not reproduce it. Didn't take long for a user to find it :rolleyes:

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:

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!
 

Good to hear :tu. I'm almost done with the new version, that adds a much-needed search function (to both reference and mycigars sections). Just gotta do some testing and tweaking for memory, and send it to the app store.

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

That sounds GREAT! Search would be helpful, but I really like the "shake and select" option. Keeps me from getting into a rut, and reminds me of the sticks I have hidden at the bottom of the humi. :banger

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

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:

It looks like Apple is doing a much better job these days of reviewing apps, so this should hit your update screen sometime soon.

As always, feedback appreciated :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Sorry, I just noticed this post here. Are you still having an issue, and if so, can you give me some details of the steps to reproduce it?

Thanks, and sorry for the delay.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

By the way, version 2.0 fixes that crashing bug :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks for all your hard work Ken. It's the #1 used app that I have!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Version 2.0 is now available on the app store. Approved in record time!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just Downloaded! Thanks, Ken!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

the update keeps appearing, then disappearing from the itunes store

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Got the update. Thanks.
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.)
