Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Easy for you to say ;). I fear I'll be creating an expectation that I spend all my waking hours loading cigar information into the online database, so people can keep getting updates. But I'm assuming I can find some help with that around here somewhere :ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

By the way, the bug that Sikk50 found has been fixed. I think I'll package up the live update feature with that bug fix (and a couple of other interface tweaks), and get an update out right away. That live update feature is one of the most requested, so no point waiting to finish up other development.

Any volunteers to figure out what additional brands/cigars need to be added?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Depends on what you're offering the volunteers :D J/K I know that your original intent was not to have you entering everyone's brands of cigars. IMHO it takes away from an app if you have to do it. I enjoy going through the app and entering my brands. :2

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Let me know what you need help with Ken. Id be more than happy to help.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I have no problem sending you a spreadsheet of brands that I added. Of course I don't have nearly as many as others.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I did notice that if I try to delete a cigar, the cancel button won't work. At that point you have to delete it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Update is working great, Ken! Thanks so much!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
Shoot me a PM, I can help with the Cuban Regionals and Edicion Limitadas.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I often find the cancel button has to be tapped several times, and specifically on the top half of the button. It does seem hard to hit that button correctly, but it will work eventually.

That set of buttons is called an "ActionSheet", and I see the same problem with other apps as well. I don't think it has anything to do with Mobile Stogie specifically.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

DId anyone else notice Puff now has a cigar app similar to Mobiel Stogie now? hmmmmm

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

From what I was looking at the screenshots, it looks like more of a "cigar review" app than an inventory app. Unless I'm looking at a second one.

"Our application gives the user quick access to both a vast cigar resource as well as a massive review database. It is comprised of user submitted reviews and commentaries."

So its not the same thing at all.. at least unless they decide to expand on it.

Personally I like the features of Mobile Stogie better as well as the direction its going... but it is definately only a matter of time before someone tries to get out there and compete with ya Ken!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Oh I like mobile stogie as well....but in the thread over on puff people are already asking him to basically mimic Mobile stogie.

Just trying to give Ken a heads up on the competition.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ahh.. I haven't been on Puff's forums, so I wasn't aware of the direction, just what the current app looked like on the app store.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I saw the app last night so I did a google search and it popped up the thread on puff. I read through it and saw the direction people want it to go. :(

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

just updated my touch and downloaded this app. Looks good so far :tu

I would be more then willing to help you with any updates/databases.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Nothing from Puffy will be on my iPhone.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

+1 :tpd:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

When Mobile Stogie first came out, Jon Caputo contacted me to write his app for him. Offered me a pretty fair deal, but I didn't trust him enough to want to do business with him. Apparently, he found somebody else to do it, which I don't worry about too much. Competition is good, and hopefully we all end up with what we want to enhance our hobby. I already have a day job, so I just work on Mobile Stogie because it's fun. If somebody comes out with an app that blows it away, I'll probably be first in line to buy the app :)

Appreciate the support from you guys though :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

You're the Best, Ken, & #1 in Our Book!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Update: Version 1.6.0 has been submitted to the app store today. What's new:

• Fixed a crashing bug in certain situations when deleting cigars
• Added Live Update feature for new cigars (most requested feature!!!)
• Added 'Price Paid' to the My Cigars section
• Miscellaneous code cleanup

Seems like the review cycle is around 7 to 10 days recently, so should show up sometime early next week. In the meantime, I'm adding more cigars to the online database for the live update feature.

Enjoy :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I sent Ken a spreadsheet with ALL of the Cuban Regional Release information as well as 2009 Edicion Limitada that have been released/testing.
Once his new version is approved he can push that new data to everyone.
Sweet

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Had to restore my ipod's settings, and lost my entire collection . . .


Guess what I am doing this afternoon.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Didn't restore your iPod from a backup??

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I did restore from my backup, but that didn't fix the overriding problem with the ipod. I had to restore as a new ipod. I asked the Apple dude if I was going to lose all my data (thinking soley off this app), and he was not sure.

I now know the answer.

But, I enjoy counting my cigars and seeing how they are doing. I still have about 300 to load. Really not that hard to do, except for the "hard to find" Fuentes which have so many different purchase dates.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

AWESOME I have been bugging KenS for awhile about the Live Update feature ..

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

At does live update mean?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

It means whenever KenS has a update to do as far as updating the cigar database it will update directly from a server instead of having to send in new updated applications and waiting on apple to approve them.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yup. Only updates he will have to submit will be for the actual application itself. He won't have to program the cigar data into the app and then everyone wait for an update =)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken is my hero! :dance:

Are you back from vacation yet? :banger

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Saw the new version hit the app store...so when do the cigar updates come?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Some of them are already out there. Go to the main screen of the "Reference" section, and tap the refresh icon on the bottom right of the screen. It will connect to the website and pull down the available new and updated cigar data.
Let me know if it works ok for you.

I have other updates to get into the website as well, but I'm crazy busy in my day job so I'm a little slow.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yep, just added 140 cigars when I refreshed the database.

Thanks for all the hardwork Ken!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just Updated mine, Too! Works Great! Thanks so much, Ken!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Cool, did not see the refresh database icon.

Ken, any idea when the new RE list that I compiled will be added?
I also have a few more Cohiba/monte/etc Reserva's to be added to the database as well

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'll try to get the RE list update in there tonight or tomorrow. I have to address duplicates of the ones I already had, and figure out the best way to represent them in the database regarding naming. See the Boli Legendario that I already have in there for my likely approach...

Thoughts?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yeah I think putting RE in the name of the vitola(like you did with the Boli Legendario is your best bet. As you noted, they did reuse discontinued sizes and re-issue them as RE's for 1 year in the same vitola. :rolleyes:
Look forward to it buddy.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Working on it now. I decided to go with the country/region name as printed on the band, so the Legendario is now "RE Suiza" instead of "RE Switzerland". I'll follow that approach for all of the regionals you sent me. Update now, and you'll see the Legendario and the JL Maximos with the updated country name. The rest will follow shortly...thanks for your help :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ok, all the regionals are in the database. Just do an update, and you'll get the full set. Should add 37 new regionals and 3 new EL's, along with a couple of corrections :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just Updated and looks great. Glad to see the price paid added as well. :tu

Keep up the good work! :banger

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I've never posted to this thread Ken but I just updated while catching up on some Asylum reading and felt inclined to do so. You have put out a wonderful cigar app and all the work you've done and continue to do to improve it is greatly appreciated. Any lookers who have not downloaded the app yet do so without hesitation. Top notch.

Success!
Cigars added: 149
Cigars updated: 70

The price paid was a great add on this go around. One of the few things I really missed when comparing MobileStogie to what I use to track my pipe tobacco cellar.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken: Added a cigar (Mag50) from reference to "My Cigars". Tried to enter "Rating" and it kept going to "Notes". Any ideas?

Thanks!

Greg

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

There were a few things that were accidentally changed in the last release when "price paid" was added to the possibilities when adding a cigar to your humidor.
Ken said he has fixed the issue and submitted the update to the Apple store for review.

Cuban Reserva items have been added to the database as well, with 1 small update needed. The Cohiba Seleccion Reserva needs to be combined into 1 item ans they came as 1 box, not 6 seperate items.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yup, I broke it :(
But, I have submitted the fix, so it should appear in a week or so. When I added Price Paid, I neglected to change the row numbers associated with rating and notes, so they are a bit screwed up. Hopefully the review process will be quick, and you'll get the fixed version soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks for helping to add new cigars to the database, but I'm not sure I agree with the approach you recommend on the Seleccion Reserva. I tend to think of Mobile Stogie as a way to get info and inventory on individual cigars, not about collections of cigars. If I add this as a single item, how would you get shape, ring gauge and length information on any one of them? And if you had one of them in your humidor, how would you refer to it?

Anyway, that's why I exploded that one entry into the detailed information for each of the included cigars. Other people care to weigh in on this?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I go by individuals not by box. So if I have one box of Monte # 2s I put 25 sticks of Monte # 2 in my humidor. Now especially with the Cohiba Reserva line they come in a box but different sizes. I say enter them as individuals or you won't be able to put RG and length in under "1" box as they are different. :2

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I put mine in as "reservas" because once I start smoking them I don't care that much about the size. And prior to smoking them I don't care about the size because its an unbroken box.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Upgraded my phone to the 3GS so I could get Mobile Stogie, Ken. Can you come over and load all my data plz? :D

lovin the app
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Here is a suggestion Ken. I've avoided entering my meager collection because I buy and smoke rapidly. If I had something that let me subtract from my humidors as I smoke, that would take the cake.

Also some kind of way that when I add new cigars the stars in the sky would spell out "f**k you thieving bastards at Puff" that would rock.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I wish I could bump your rep thru my phone sir :tu
