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)

Sure. Here's what I'm planning:

• 'Price Paid' added to the "My Cigars" section
• Live updates to the reference database (touch a button to download latest)
• Some form of export; likely will work as "E-Mail Inventory to..."
• First pass at a smoking notes section

First two items are about done, with just some testing to finish. The others will take some work.

Ken, you're a mad man. Sometimes I actually wish I owned an Iphone.
