iPhone App - Looking for feedback

KenS · 12-24-2008, 08:19 AM

Update:

I've spent a lot of time reworking the code on this to get it ready for a native iPhone/Touch app, but for now it's still web based.

Other changes:

Slightly redesigned screens and colors. Looks a little better, I think.
User login for adding/editing cigar info. (and User/password management).
No login required to browse information.
Displays who added (and last edited) each cigar.
Cigar length can be entered in mm or inches. App will figure it out and store correctly.
Clicking on the "Mobile Stogie" header returns to home screen

So, now I'm looking for a few folks who are willing to put it through its paces and see how it behaves. I'm not enabling "self register" yet, so you'll need to PM me with your email address, and I'll register you and email you the info.

To test this correctly, you'll need:

An iPhone, iPod Touch, or Safari Browser (windoze or mac). I can't predict how it might behave on other browsers, but since I'm ultimately targeting a native iPhone/Touch app, I'm focusing on the Safari browser capabilities. Sorry, for now it does not work on a blackberry.
A willingness to add cigar info into the database and cleanup any missing data that you can.
A willingness to provide feedback, as well as patience if I don't change things instantly

Most of the previous feedback focused on personal inventory and tasting notes, both of which really need the native app coded, so those are "coming soon". What I plan to add next is:

A place to add some type of price info
An additional characteristic for NC's like "line" or "sub-brand", since NC brands are all over the board in this regard.
Additional views of data ("my adds", "Missing Data", etc.)
Search capability
Appropriate "back buttons" to aid in navigation.

Comments on those features are welcome!!

Finally, even if you don't want to signup for testing, feel free to browse the site, as the CC data is pretty complete already and is a handy reference, especially on the iPhone.

Again, the site is www.vapor nova.com/mobilestogie/ and you have to get rid of the space in the name, since the CA software thinks I'm posting about ****
