arg no update yet.....GOING CRAZY!!!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Updated Just Now & Works Great! Thanks, Ken!:tu:banger:dance::wo

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Got it! Now I gotta try to figure out what's missing since I was last able to edit it...3 bombs....personal smoking...friends....gotta get to work! Lol

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Got my update. I'm ready to start playing!! Thanks, Ken.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

This app is pretty sweet. I still have some onesy-twosy sticks to enter. And any Davidoffs -- they are not in the selector, for whatever reason.

Two things that were sobering: I have more smokes than I thought I did, and I have spent a lot more than I should have. I remembered most of my purchase dates (pretty closely, anyway), but consulted receipts in some cases.

Don't look at your receipts. Just get rid of them.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Got the update brother :tu

Thank you very much!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Updated again. Thanks Ken! You Rock :banger

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great! Thanks for the update! Works even better now.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Hey folks, looking for a bit more input ... please see the poll posted in this thread, related to the next release of Mobile Stogie using iPhone OS 3.0 features... your input appreciated :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ok, I've been updating the Mobile Stogie code, adding a few new features, and I'm (finally) ready to code up the "Smoking Notes" section. I don't want to get too elaborate with this, but want to capture the basics. Things that could be put into a 'pick list' would be best, to minimize typing.

My initial thoughts:

All the cigar info (including year, box code, etc) will come from the existing inventory data, so just need to add these fields:

Date
Location
Smoked with whom
Drink paired with
Appearance
Draw
Burn
Ash
Flavors (how to best do this?)
Text notes (do I need to break this down into thirds?
Photo(s) ... (one is easy, more than one might get tricky)

Thoughts??

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

As for flavours, how about using the flavour wheel on SilverFox's cheap stick review sheets and the iphone's touch controls so you could just touch as many of the flavours that apply?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Looks good Ken. Maybe a list of the more common flavors found in cigars. Looking forward to it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

:tu I agree! Thanks, Ken!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'm really enjoying this app, Ken! Thanks for putting it together.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Awesome app Ken!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

FYI, last night I submitted the next version of Mobile Stogie to Apple. Now we wait (again) for the mysterious review process before they post the app. It is version 1.5.0, and yes it is a free update. Still haven't finished the smoking notes section, but there are some nice updates here that people have been asking for. NOTE: This is for iPhone OS 3.0 ONLY. Major changes include:

• Added 493 new cigars to the reference database. Additional NC brands:
  • Davidoff
  • Macanudo
  • Hoyo de Monterrey
  • Cohiba
  • Partagas
  • Punch
  • Don Tomás
  • Montecristo
  • Drew Estate
  • Guillen Cigars
• Added 'All Humidors' view
• Added sort feature to 'My Cigars' views
• Added Ring Gauge Tool
• Improved user interface for cigar counts
• Improved, easier access to inventory data
• Many code optimizations

Here are a few new screenshots.

Main screen with updated reference cigar count (up to 2,335 cigars, from 1,842 previously):

New Humidor View showing 'All Humidors', and the new cigar count look:
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...ileStogie1.jpg

New 'All My Cigars' view that can replace the Humidors view. This allows very quick access to your inventory, as you don't have to drill down to screens of category, brand, cigar, etc. Also can be sorted by brand or quantity. Just one big list:
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k.../CigarView.jpg

And lastly, I added a ring gauge tool (because I could ;)). It is remarkably accurate! Just move the slider, and the image changes size. Set the (unlit !!) foot of the cigar on it, and figure out what ring gauge that mystery smoke is.

Look for the update in probably a week or two, after Apple reviews it!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Looks great Ken! Can't wait for the update!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great job Ken, as allways. Looking forward to the update.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

The ring gauge tool is a very cool idea! Thanks Ken!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Nice ring gauge tool! I held off on entering some of the NC Monte's I have just because I was going to have to manually enter them. Now, they go into the count!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Very cool to add the ring gauge tool Ken. Too bad it won't work on my ipod touch

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

is there a way to get all the good stuff from this app to work with Ipod touch? I update mine every few days and it still looks the same as when I originally purchased this app.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Why wouldn't it work for your ipod touch? You can update the software on your ipod to v3.0 for about $10. I should have all the same capabilities as the iphone, without the calls, of course.

If you are in the app window in itunes, click the "check updates" button at the bottom. That should put the latest changes on your ipod. You may have to update your software, as noted above, for some apps.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Awesome, Ken! Thanks so much for the update, especially the RG Tool!:tu:)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

:confused: Everything in this app will work on the iPod Touch just the same as the iPhone, as long as you are running OS 3.0. I'm not using any special features of the phone.

Seems like the review process for apps is running about 2 weeks these days, so we still have to wait for Apple to post the new Mobile Stogie version. But you'll be notified automatically when it is available.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great App

I just bought it and will begin adding my cigars.

( Just noticed that this is my first Post. I came from Club Stogie, but didn't care for Puff. )

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Welcome!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Welcome...be sure to stop by the new inmate processing area and introduce yourself.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Great job Ken. Glad I updated to OS 3.0 and can't wait to use the new features. :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thank for the help guys...guess I'm updating to OS 3.0.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

KenS : when are you going to add the "update" function ? So all we will have to do is press the update button and it will connect to a server and will do all the updates as far as the database goes.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thought you guys and gals might enjoy this.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

whew! I was afraid I'd find Mobile Stogie on that list! :r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'm a new poster to CA, but have been trolling for a while, and couldn't resist posting to this thread.

I've been enjoying your app for a few weeks Ken. Great Stuff! I may have missed it while reading, but have you got a list of things you are adding to the next version? I've got a few things while messing around with it that I wish it did, and I didn't know if you wanted a PM, posted here, or emailed to you.. but of course you could already be working on those things so i didn't wanna waste your time w/o seeing a list =)

Thanks for creating the best cigar app for the iPhone =D

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

You know what would be great, Ken (and I'm not sure if this is a "you" thing or an Apple thing) -- an export option. How great would it be to offload your Mobile Stogie data into Excel so you could email it, or print your inventory?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Maybe I am misssing something, but when I look at My Cigars I can see the Brand and Name of a cigar, but not the shape. Can that be added to what is seen when I look at My Cigars.
Currently I have been adding that in the name area, but it would be nice to see the shape there. I just started usin this so I may be looking at it wrong.

Thanks.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yep, right now all of that information is in the reference section (shape, length, ring gauge, etc.). How much of the reference info is needed in the My Cigars section? I have toyed around with having a button to "flip" the screen to toggle between the My Cigars info and the Reference info. Would it be better to just list more of the info directly on that My Cigars detail page?

What do you guys think?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

A direct 'export' thing not simple, as there are a lot of limitations in the filesystem that apple doesn't allow certain actions. Likewise, when emailing, I don't think they allow attachments. However, I could create a full table of inventory data in the body of an email message, which you could address to anybody (including yourself). Would that be useful?

By the way, you are on your own if you accidently email your inventory to your wife :r:r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Best way to provide feedback is to email me at the address in the app. I keep all of the feedback organized in a 'wish list' of ideas people have provided, so can track better that way.

if you go back a page or two in this thread, you'll see the main updates that are coming with version 1.5.0 (still in review at apple at the moment). Hopefully that will post to the app store within a week or so.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I there are two cigars with the same brand and name won't they gt added together. If the shape was added they would be separate. This is why I was asking for shape. Not a big deal.
This is the only extra thing I think would be nice to see. Mainly to separate the sizes. I realize you are probably trying to keep the info displayed to a minimum for space real estate.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'll try and remember to email this later, but I think the ability to set a password would be great.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I was going to suggest a way to do a review, but it looks like you are already thinking about it.

Maybe a way to be able to pick a cigar from My Cigars and it place it into a section called Smoked Cigars. Thay way it removes it from the Humidor list and in another list where you can track the ones you have smoked and your thoughts.
(Just a suggestion as it may not be feasable)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Quick update: Version 1.5.0 is now available on the app store. Please let me know if anybody has any problems with it.

Next version is already in development :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks, Ken! Any update on the next version as to specifics?:tu:)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Sure. Here's what I'm planning:

• 'Price Paid' added to the "My Cigars" section
• Live updates to the reference database (touch a button to download latest)
• Some form of export; likely will work as "E-Mail Inventory to..."
• First pass at a smoking notes section

First two items are about done, with just some testing to finish. The others will take some work.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken, you're a mad man. Sometimes I actually wish I owned an Iphone.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken there's a crash bug, I think it was present in the other version as well. Does it on all of them but here's an example.

My humidor > Don Pepin Garcia > (swipe a cigar [assuming you want to delete and it was a single] when you hit the delete button the app crashes without deleting the cigar)

other than that top notch :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ditto for me.

Nice update though. I like the new additions.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Aack! Ok, I can confirm the bug, and I'll get it fixed. In the meantime, just drill down to the detail page for that cigar, and use the "Delete" button on that page. That works fine. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

That live update will be great !!!!
