You update the database through the app itself not through the Apple Store.

That's right.
Go to the reference screen and press the circled arrow (not sure what else to call it) near the bottom right hand corner.

HOO HAA!! Thanks a million to ArgusP2 and aich75013. That takes care of a pretty good part of my problem with this app. I sure appreciate it, guys.

If you...

Do a review
Add a photo from the camera roll
Save the review
Delete the photo from the camera roll
The review will crash the app if you try to look at it


Just FYI

Why, shucks. I can make the app crash easier than that. If I go to the 'review' page and click on the little magnifying glass symbol in the lower left corner of the page, it'll crash immediately and I end up back on my home page looking at all those cute little icons.

This is good to know. Personally, I'm too ambitionally-challenged (lazy) to attempt to put photos into my cigar listings, though.

This is because you deleted the source of the photo, the photo itself is not in Mobile Stogie, just a reference to it in the camera roll. This is too save database space on the device.

Oh i knew WHY it happened, just wanted to make sure it got picked up as it is still a defect. Then again, I should have emailed it in too.

Thanks for pointing this out. Somehow this snuck through the testing process. As Bob said, we're working on it.

A simple workaround that cleans up many of these type issues is to close all of your running apps using the task bar and then power off/power on the device.

Double tap the HOME button, tap and hold on any running application in the displayed tab bar until it begins to shake and a red X appears. Click on the red X to close the app. Close all running apps. Use the Power Switch to power off and then back on the device.

What you should do is check to see if the image exists, if not, Remove it from the review and inform the user.

We have created another update for Mobile Stogie! It is a lot of work but as you know, this is a passion project. It was submitted to Apple a few days ago so it should be approved within a week or so. Any problems that you may have with it should be fixed. This includes users deleting photos and other items.

The appearance of the app is also updated in this version. In addition to the functionality changes, there is a sleek new design that I think is quite attractive.

We are learning as we go but we're getting better and I think this version is a major improvement to the app. We've got a long list of features we want to add and modify and we plan to chip away at the list as time goes on.

Thanks again for all your support. I really want this to be the best cigar app out there so please keep sending suggestions and ideas to support@mobilestogie.com.

Sincerely,
Colin

By the way, if you delete a photo that is supposed to show up in one of your reviews it will not show up. The app doesn't store the photos separately from your camera roll. So if you want to see the photos, don't delete them. This remains true in the update forthcoming but the app won't shut down anymore if you delete a photo and then try to access it through the app.

As long as the defect is fixed Its cool beans with me!! Software is all about graceful handling of things! The app should NEVER shut down on response to a user action, unless it is a closing action.

The update is nice but it didn't correct the problem of going to the 'reviews' page, clicking on the little magnifying glass symbol and being taken immediately out of the app and back to my home page. Sorry - no win, no cigar.

Bacchus

Ahaa! More progress is made. The glitch regarding being closed out of the app by clicking on the search icon has been cured. These folks are really working to perfect this app and I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to them. I appreciate their efforts.

Even giving the issues, which are becoming ever more slight, I love this app for what it is. I would like to see weekly reference updates but given that it is not a full time gig for them it is what it is. I still give it two thumbs up. If you could work out a way to import the humidors from the previous version you would make a TON of people happy!
