iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!

[KenS]

Well, it took me way longer than expected to get the new version of Mobile Stogie done, but I hope it was worth the wait. Version 2.0 now has a pretty useful search function (one of the most requested features). Tapping on the search icon will let you quickly find cigars in the reference or in your humidors. It will search any text string that you enter against both brand and name fields. It is a 'live' search, where the filtered list updates as you type each character.

What took so long was trying to optimize the code so that it performed well enough on the 1st gen iPhone (a much slower device). I spent a LOT of hours restructuring code to keep memory low and speed as good as possible. I think I got it figured out, and I think you'll be happy with the result. A few other things snuck into this release too. Here's the update text that I submitted with the app:

New Features:

Added SEARCH function for Reference Cigars and Personal Inventory (Number 1 requested feature!)
Segmented cuban cigar reference by 'Current Production', 'Special Release', and 'Discontinued'
Added many more cigars to the reference database. Now contains reference information for 3,543 cigars.

Bug fixes:

Fixed a problem where a humidor with an apostrophe in the name could not be emailed.
Fixed a problem where cigars with special characters could not be looked up in the web search.
Fixed a problem where cigars with an apostrophe in the name could not be edited.
Fixed memory leaks in certain rare situations.

It looks like Apple is doing a much better job these days of reviewing apps, so this should hit your update screen sometime soon.

As always, feedback appreciated
