[Sauer Grapes]

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

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??

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)

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

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

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.

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

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

Ditto for me.

Nice update though. I like the new additions.

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

That live update will be great !!!!

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

[KenS]

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?

Depends on what you're offering the volunteers 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.

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

[aich75013]

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

[aich75013]

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.

[longknocker]

Update is working great, Ken! Thanks so much!

[skibumdc]

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

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.

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