iPhone Cigar App ... need beta testers

KenS · 03-17-2009, 06:30 AM

BETA 3 is ready, and heading out to the beta testers. I hope this is the final beta before release.

Changes from BETA 2:

FIXED: Humidor names don't line up in certain circumstances
IMPROVED: Cigars with long names now wrap to a second line instead of truncating with '...' added.
ADDED: Ability to add new cigars from the list of cigars for a specific brand
ADDED: Length and Ring Gauge on the Cigar Listing view
ADDED: Sort button on Cigar Listing view (by Name, Length, Ring Gauge)
ADDED: Google Button on the cigar detail page launches a browser with search for the selected cigar.(Do people think this is useful?)
DATA: Additions to the cigar reference database
(Total is now up to 1,161 unique cigars in the database)
Good Progress: Continued data cleanup
Good Progress: Code cleanup and memory optimization

REMAINING ITEMS BEFORE RELEASE:

STILL WORKING ON: Adding an "All Humidors" view to the My Cigars section.
Improvements to data entry to streamline the process

Probably work on for future version:

Linking to other external info on the web (pricing, reviews, B&M's, etc)
A field (or 2) to enter MSRP and/or price paid in the My Cigars section
Ability to edit humidor name (workaround currently exists)
A more robust "Smoking Notes" section of the App
When viewing a "My Cigar" record, click a button to "Flip" to the details of that cigar. (moved to Version 2)
(beta testers haven't asked for that yet, but they will ).
