iPhone Cigar App ... need beta testers

You nailed it, and when you say it that way, it's so much simplier.

Do I have that correct? (I hope so, because that is pretty straightforward to code ).

FWIW, I think this is a great idea as well (even though I only have two humidors).

Also, if you want a reference guide for a lot of NC cigars, Pearlman's or however it's spelled might be a wise investment. That being said, it will be extremely cumbersome to add all those cigars. I guess in the end it'll all pay off though.

When can we expect the windows mobile version to be released

[DPD6030]

I saw this first hand yesterday and I really liked the application and playing around with it. Thanks for letting me check it out Jon.

KenS' son here, been helping test this since way back in the alpha stage. A page or so back someone mentioned the app's icon. I was the one who designed the icon so I have a question for the current beta testers; what do you think of it? Any suggestions for it, I think I've grown attached to it so I might overlook something on it so hearing someone elses opinion on it would be welcomed.

No problem, glad you enjoyed it.

I like it, I think the background stands out from all my other apps on my phone. Simple and clean for what my opinion is worth.

Thoughts....

All Humidors - excellent idea!

Icon - I agree with the above, the Icon works great and symbolizes what we're trying to do with the app.

Box Code - I would agree that wrapper/binder/filler would be great for the NC's - Box code does nothing for the NC's I've bought; Definate need for BC in the CC section!

Hold your breath, Hell may freeze over yet. About a week after that, I might start coding

Love, No.
Pity, Yes.

still debating the box code question, so answering with another question. :P So on the home screen, it lists cigar reference, my cigars, total unique wishlist. Is there a way that you could make those buttons to bring up a list of your cigars? So I could click on 107 total cigars, and it would open a table/list of the brand, type, and quantity of my cigars? The 891 unique list(button) would take you to the cigar referece page for all cigars?

Not quickly .

However, that is a good idea. Let me think about it for a bit to see what it would take. Then of course, you'd want links from that table/list, and links from that, and so on .

Can't quit my day job, so have to limit features for first official version.

Can you also add a function for it to work with my wireless hygrometer sensor so I can check my humidity and temp on the go?

can't wait to test it out though

just waiting for you to respond to the PM I sent you, and you'll be testing soon

As for the wireless hygrometer, that's another good idea. I'll also have it bake lasagna for you for when you get home.

[King James]

bah. I missed the PM.

Got it now

So version 1.0.1 seems very stable, no crashes at all since the upgrade. Default caps is very nice, notes field is working well also. I did notice in the nc that the Carlos Torano is listed twice, once with the tilda. Couple other cigars that need adding for the list, nc Cohiba's, Cusano18's, SLR(Sait Louis Ray), Juan Lopez. CAO list needs vast expanding. I know this list isn't a super high priority, just FYI. I've continued to modify my list as needed.

Ok, general question for anybody following this thread:

It's clear that the NC database needs to be improved, but I don't plan to key in a massive amount of 'em, since the end user has the ability to add anything they need to their own database. That said, I do want a fairly representative list. So far in the comments on this thread, the ones mentioned are Padron, God of Fire, Rocky Patel, Gurkha & Macanudos.

To capture a reasonable set of "mainstream" cigars, what others really need to be in the default list? We already have A. Fuente & Opus X fairly well covered. The rest actually just came from what I was tracking in a spreadsheet from my own NC collection several months ago.

So, what are the "gotta have" brands? (and, does anybody already have a list of info about them? Maybe a spreadsheet that you've been keeping??). If anybody had that info in a spreadsheet, text file, or anything else, I could pretty easily upload it all into the database...

Thanks

[King James]

the Tatuaje line and a few other Pepins for sure.

Ken, did you get my PM w/ the info?
