iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

After a few months of work, and some great testing and feedback from many of my fellow CA Inmates, I'm happy to announce that the Mobile Stogie application for iPhone and iPod Touch is now available in the iTunes App Store!

:wo

If you are interested in the testing, feedback and banter over the past few weeks, it's in this thread.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, this link is the direct URL to the iTunes app store for Mobile Stogie.

Thanks to all the CA members that helped me get this done. Now I'm off to finish up some new stuff for the next version :ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'll probably go and pick it up today.

Does it have the NIVELACUSO and NETAGIDOCU for the cuban box codes on it?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Not yet. But I'm working on that now actually. I have lots of ideas of features to add :)

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Buying it as we speak...thanks for this. Very slick looking...I'll be sure to leave a review.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just downloaded the app. It looks great. Now I have HOURS of input. Man, I should have been keeping track all this time....

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

will the updates be free to download for it or will there be a whole new version. Never bought any apps off of itunes before. Just curious.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

As soon as my new cc gets here in the mail I will be buying! I'm a whore for apps and this one will probally get the most use next to all my weather apps.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I downloaded and installed the app on my phone today. Its awsome. Great work Ken. Looking forward to putting all my sticks in the app. Thanks for all of your hard work. It definately paid off.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

uggh. My iPhone isn't compatible

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks for the hard work. Great to have a guide when I go to my local B&M. Will be grabbing this shortly.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

If you have the iPhone is version 2, the 2.2 update is free. The app will work with any iPhone hardware

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Generally speaking, iPhone app updates are free. I have several enhancements already in the works, and they will definitely be a free update for anybody who has the current version.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Wow!
That was fast.
Getting ready to download it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Very cool, I think I will buy my first app.

Thanks Ken, I look forward to playing with it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Nice this is realy cool:wo, many thanks:dance:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
So far I noticed that there are a few vitolas that are double posted in the marcas. Not a big deal to me at all. If I look closer I can give you specific examples.

H. Upmann-Epicures, Majestics, Regalias
Partagas- Habaneros, Pdp # 1

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yeah, please do give me specific feedback. I would guess that the data is only ~95% accurate, and you'd be amazed at how much different conflicting data is out there about many of the cigars. Might never be perfect, but I'll be issuing an update pretty soon, and can fix a lot if you highlight the errors.

Thanks :tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

very cool. checking t out now

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Disregard my post regarding saving.
Got it.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Neat application.

Where can I go to leave feedback?
The only time I have noticed that option is usually when I have deleted an application.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I bought it, even though my phone isn't due to arrive until Monday...

So excited!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Congrats Ken, I've been following the other thread and anxiously awaiting this app and downloaded it this afternoon and have to say that is very impressive the work you put into that is just awesome.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Glad to hear it passed Ken! :wo :wo :wo :wo :wo

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Looks very good Ken, I have noticed a few nc's that are missing, such as Graycliff 1666 as wells as Esteban Carrera I think that's a Rocky Patel Blend.

Other than that there looks to be an amazing amount of work put into this and it shows

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

People still smoke NC's? ;) :lv :r

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

For those of us who don't have an iPhone, can anyone post some screen shots to see what this looks like?:confused:

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Text sent to Ken.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Do you have iTunes ? If so, just search for "mobile stogie"

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Wow! Great job! I know you'll have lots of success with that! Now, do I switch to AT&T and get an iPhone? :hm

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Works just as well on the iPod Touch. don't have to have an iphone :)
iPod touch is an amazing device in it's own right

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Just picked it up.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ha yes those of us in school trying to become Fedral Agents can't afford to have the really num nums on our cards...tragicaly haha

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Oh I'm sure there are more than a "few" NC's missing ;). That's why it is designed for people to add, delete and change the reference data on their own device. I'm sure there are many thousands of unique cigars that I'll never find the info for. I tried to put in a substantial representation of cigars initially, and I'll probably add more with each new release, but I'll never get 'em all. I have added the Nub cigars for the next release, just to test the update mechanism.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
Had a blast toying with it last night.

I noticed a big line missing.
No NC La Gloria Cubana.

While I think it is neat to add your own if need be, will any of the currently missing major ones be added at a later date as an update?

Neat application.
Well done.
I am totally intrigued as to how someone can put something like that together and can only imagine the time you invested in doing it.
I hope it takes off for you.
Congrats!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yup, I will be adding some more. :tu I have the update-code completed, and I'm fixing a few more things for a version 1.1. Probably ship it off to Apple within a week at most. Likely changes:

- A few more cigar brands added
- Default to last used Humidor when adding cigars to MyCigars
- Picklists for "acquired from" and "format" fields in MyCigars section
- Picklist for year (and maybe include month with it)
- Some code cleanup and optimization
- Default to all CAPS for box code field

Mostly just tweaks to make it a bit easier to use, while I get ready for a version 2 that will focus on smoking notes, reviews, etc... still thinking through the design for that.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

I'm guessing I invested somewhere around 200 hours in developing this so far, but half of that was the steep learning curve for learning how to program in Objective C for the iPhone. Future work will go much quicker, I hope.

As for it taking off ... sold 26 copies on the first 1/2 day. Probably can't quit my day job ;). But that's ok, it's really just a fun hobby for me anyway. If fellow inmates find it useful, so much the better.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

nicely done Ken, great contribution to the cigar world I'm sure!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Yes, Patrick! I did & "Love" it!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Hey Ken,

I've been looking through and if in the next few days I can hunt down the info for you on some of the missing nc's would you want me to pm you that?

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Bought it last night! Very awesome! Love how everyting is editable. Now im going to have to do inventory GREAT!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Absolutely; that would be great. Best thing to do is to put the info in a spreadsheet, and I can format it and add it to the update that'll come out next week sometime

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken, many congrats, I'll be downloading the official version here shortly! Can't wait for updates that don't wipe my database :D:ss

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Thanks for all the work you have put into this Ken. :tu

It's cool see an App like this being "born" before our very eyes. I plan on getting an iPhone in July when my current contract with Sprint expires, and you can bet this is going to be the first thing I download!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Works Great, Ken! Thanks again!:tu

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Enjoying it very much, thanks Ken.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Got it last night and did an inventory of the home humi today:


1852 Total Cigars
44 Unique Cigars

I did not enter the NC's and have some I have to add to the master list but will figure that out latter. I am sure it is easy but wanted to get all of the info from the MRN. May do the office Humi on Sunday but I am sure that will take more time...

Ken, nice work!!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Ken,
I am guessing that if over 13 million iPhones have been sold, which does not even account for iPod Touch (can only imagine what that figure is), I venture to guess there are a lot of us cigar smokers with them.
The thing is to spread the word to them and certainly this forum, and others like it, should be of great value to you to help you accomplish that.
When my son returns from this week's road trip, I am sure he too will get it once he sees mine.

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

Holy Crap!!!

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

You got that right Carlos. Wait till he tells us what is in the office humi. It's gonna take more than one Sunday to log all of those trust me, I've seen it. :D

Re: iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!
 

great work Ken. Just downloaded and now I have a system to keep track of my whole collection. Thank you so much you have made my life that much more easy!
