iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!

[KenS]

Hey folks, looking for a bit more input ... please see the poll posted in this thread, related to the next release of Mobile Stogie using iPhone OS 3.0 features... your input appreciated

[KenS]

Ok, I've been updating the Mobile Stogie code, adding a few new features, and I'm (finally) ready to code up the "Smoking Notes" section. I don't want to get too elaborate with this, but want to capture the basics. Things that could be put into a 'pick list' would be best, to minimize typing.

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??

As for flavours, how about using the flavour wheel on SilverFox's cheap stick review sheets and the iphone's touch controls so you could just touch as many of the flavours that apply?

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

Looks good Ken. Maybe a list of the more common flavors found in cigars. Looking forward to it.

I agree! Thanks, Ken!

I'm really enjoying this app, Ken! Thanks for putting it together.

[Azpostal]

Awesome app Ken!

Looks great Ken! Can't wait for the update!

Great job Ken, as allways. Looking forward to the update.

The ring gauge tool is a very cool idea! Thanks Ken!

[troutbreath]

Nice ring gauge tool! I held off on entering some of the NC Monte's I have just because I was going to have to manually enter them. Now, they go into the count!

Very cool to add the ring gauge tool Ken. Too bad it won't work on my ipod touch

is there a way to get all the good stuff from this app to work with Ipod touch? I update mine every few days and it still looks the same as when I originally purchased this app.

Why wouldn't it work for your ipod touch? You can update the software on your ipod to v3.0 for about $10. I should have all the same capabilities as the iphone, without the calls, of course.

If you are in the app window in itunes, click the "check updates" button at the bottom. That should put the latest changes on your ipod. You may have to update your software, as noted above, for some apps.

Awesome, Ken! Thanks so much for the update, especially the RG Tool!

Everything in this app will work on the iPod Touch just the same as the iPhone, as long as you are running OS 3.0. I'm not using any special features of the phone.

Seems like the review process for apps is running about 2 weeks these days, so we still have to wait for Apple to post the new Mobile Stogie version. But you'll be notified automatically when it is available.

Great App

I just bought it and will begin adding my cigars.

( Just noticed that this is my first Post. I came from Club Stogie, but didn't care for Puff. )
