iPhone Cigar App ... need beta testers

[King James]

Is there any way after the release for people to submit their cigar database (if they add things) to you to add to the main database for when you update?

Not sure how the update process will work yet. I'm thinking of a synchronization process that allows somebody to retrieve updates automatically, but I haven't designed this yet. It would have to be "non-destructive" for cigars that somebody has entered into his/her own app, so some matching process needs to be designed. I'm working on it

As for sending their changes in, I think the concern about getting garbage data, incomplete data, overwriting existing cigars, even malicious updates will prevent this from being a reasonable approach.

I guess yeah. Unless there was a way to filter it but even then might not be worth the hours to do it
