It would allow a quick reference without going through multiple humidors for a inventory reference.

Let's see if I understand correctly. Essentially, you would like to see an "All Humidors" item in the humidors list? That way, you could drill down to view your collection as a whole, instead of by individual humidor.

Do I have that correct? (I hope so, because that is pretty straightforward to code ;)).

Update:

Beta 2 is now built; just waiting for some info from 2 beta testers to send it out. I think we're still on track for release in a week or so.
Here's an updated status:

Bug Fixes and Design Changes
  • FIXED: Application crash in certain situations adding or deleting a humidor
  • FIXED: Application crash in certain situations adding a cigar to a humidor
  • FIXED: No longer able to add a new humidor with the same name as an existing one
  • FIXED: Humidors with apostrophe character caused inconsistent behavior
  • FIXED: Detail page of non-cuban reference cigar was not displaying the "Filler" value
  • FIXED: Detail page of reference cigar was not displaying the "Box Code" value
  • CHANGED: Text entry now defaults to initial capital letters by word.
  • CHANGED: Notes field in My Cigars detail now allows multiple lines of text, with scrolling field.
  • CHANGED: Display the length as blank field instead of "(null) (0.0in.)" when no value is entered
  • DATA: Began cleaning up default database for improved consistency (more to come)
  • DATA: Additions to the cigar reference database (thanks beta 1 team!)
    (Total is now up to 891 unique cigars in the database)
Working On:
  • Humidor names don't line up in certain circumstances
  • Ability to add new cigars from the Brand List
  • Need More NC's added to database
  • Improvements to data entry to streamline the process
  • Adding an "All Humidors" view to the My Cigars section.
  • Continued data cleanup
  • When viewing a "My Cigar" record, click a button to "Flip" to the details of that cigar.
    (beta testers haven't asked for that yet, but they will :)).
Probably work on for future version:
  • Linking to external info on the web (pricing, reviews, B&M's, etc)
  • A field (or 2) to enter MSRP and/or price paid in the My Cigars section
  • Ability to edit humidor name (workaround currently exists)
  • A more robust "Smoking Notes" section of the App

You nailed it, and when you say it that way, it's so much simplier. :tu

One more screenshot for those that are watching but don't have the app. (the list scrolls for a few more items, like indicators for EL, RE and Discontinued.

Re: iPhone Cigar App ... need beta testers
 
Yet another screenshot, and a question: Notice that this cigar is an NC, so does not show the "Vitola" field, but does show "Binder", "Filler", and "Wrapper" (not necessary for CC's because they would all say "ISOM" anyway. In the 'my cigars' section, should I omit "Box Code" for NC's, or does that field apply in some way to NC's?

Hold your breath, Hell may freeze over yet. About a week after that, I might start coding :ss

still debating the box code question, so answering with another question. :P So on the home screen, it lists cigar reference, my cigars, total unique wishlist. Is there a way that you could make those buttons to bring up a list of your cigars? So I could click on 107 total cigars, and it would open a table/list of the brand, type, and quantity of my cigars? The 891 unique list(button) would take you to the cigar referece page for all cigars?

Not quickly ;).

However, that is a good idea. Let me think about it for a bit to see what it would take. Then of course, you'd want links from that table/list, and links from that, and so on :D.

Can't quit my day job, so have to limit features for first official version.

Can you also add a function for it to work with my wireless hygrometer sensor so I can check my humidity and temp on the go? :r

can't wait to test it out though :tu

just waiting for you to respond to the PM I sent you, and you'll be testing soon :)

As for the wireless hygrometer, that's another good idea. I'll also have it bake lasagna for you for when you get home. :r

KenS' son here, been helping test this since way back in the alpha stage. A page or so back someone mentioned the app's icon. I was the one who designed the icon so I have a question for the current beta testers; what do you think of it? Any suggestions for it, I think I've grown attached to it so I might overlook something on it so hearing someone elses opinion on it would be welcomed.

FWIW, I think this is a great idea as well (even though I only have two humidors).

Also, if you want a reference guide for a lot of NC cigars, Pearlman's or however it's spelled might be a wise investment. That being said, it will be extremely cumbersome to add all those cigars. I guess in the end it'll all pay off though. :wo

I like it, I think the background stands out from all my other apps on my phone. Simple and clean for what my opinion is worth.:2
