iPhone Cigar App RELEASED!

[Langod]

Looks great -- but my humidor isn't big enough to bother with this sort of app. But here's an idea (apologies if it's already been suggested) -- how about a "light" version that just includes the cigar reference for when I'm looking to pick up a few sticks at the local B&M?

Ken - can you program the app to automatically add my purchases from online retailers? That way I can just order my cigars and have them show up in MobileStogie as well as my mailbox.

I'd probably need a button to indicate if it's a box split as well and account for the sticks I send out.

Thanks.

Absolutely, in fact I can do better than that!!!

From now on, you just have your purchases shipped to me, I'll inventory them properly, email you the update to your Mobile Stogie database, and then store your (our?) cigars in a properly humidified vino.

Yes sir, that is a service I am willing to provide. Yes sir!

What a "Nice Guy"!

While I'm waiting for Apple to approve the latest update, I'm wondering what NC brands you guys feel are most important to add to Mobile Stogie. Most consistent 'complaint' in the reviews is that there aren't enough NC brands represented, so I figure I can work to add some more over the next week or two.

Thoughts?

Not sure how much "lighter" it needs to be than $3.99. That's less than a cigar (usually)

Nobody says you need to populate the humidor section. The reference section is pretty useful even if you don't use the other parts. Then, when you fall hard down the dark side, people start insisting that you keep your humi's full, well, then you'll be ready!!

don't get me wrong - $3.99 is more than fair! I was just suggesting a reference only version. But yes, I guess you're right - the reference alone is worth it even without using the database

Ok, another update has been submitted to Apple. It is version 1.7.0, and has some changes that have been requested by quite a few users:

• From the My Cigar detail screen, added a button to 'flip' the screen to the reference information for that chosen cigar.
• Also from the My Cigar detail screen, added a button called "Smoke One!", which will automatically deduct 1 cigar from the quantity, while (optionally) opening up the 'notes' field to type in notes about the cigar.
• Fixed a couple of small bugs that happened in rare situations.

So again, we go into the Apple review cycle, typically around 7 to 10 days.

In the meantime, don't forget to periodically tap the update icon on the main reference screen, to download new cigars and updated information for existing cigars.

Ok, back to work now

Great idea! I'm looking forward to this update (and using it!).

Thanks for the updates!

You know, I think we get spoiled by all the $0.99 apps that $4 seems like a lot.
At first, I thought, $4, really?
But I don't regret the purchase at all. It's definately worth it!!
