What app are you using?
I'be been checking out a few and haven't found anything I really like. 
Found one that soundsd good, Cigar Scanner, but it won't install on LG G4.
Another, Sigaro wan'ts you to sign up with your email and "third party vendors" can access that info.

And then half the ones I see are Cigar Boss.
Seems like they made a few dozen apps with different names.

Is there one you all are using that you like?

    Cigar scanner seemed like a good idea but it didn't have my cigars.

    Yeah I don't use an app personally, plus it's fun to dig through the sticks and rediscover gems :)

    They expect the user to build their database for them.  I got bored with that very early-on.....  B)

    I'm using called humidex. It's in its development but seems pretty easy to use. I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it yet though. Seems to have a good database. I need to try searching for limited releases and smaller batch runs to see if they are in it.

    Only available for iOS, not android.
    That's kind of goofy.

    That stinks. Hopefully once it's up and running they will get it set up with android as well.

    It looks pretty good.
    It will be one to keep an eye on.

    Well, I've tried a bunch of different apps and the one I seem to like the best is Cigar Scanner, but it won't install on LG G4 phones, which is the phone I have.
    Loading on another phone, it works fine and is actually not terrible.

    But, bearing in mind most of them are crap.
    And the fact that Cigar Boss has 50 different apps.

    The one that @bert873 recommended, humidex, isn't available on android yet, but there is hope they will release it for android.

    So, sifting thru the garbage, I've come to the conclusion that most of what is available for us is junk designed to sell you features or ad removals, that you won't use and doesn't include features or a database that you don't have to build for them.

    While I was still fairly new to the cigar culture I used an app (don't remember the name) that I thought was pretty good. I created a list of all my cigars, logged them out when I smoked them, kept notes, etc. It was all kinda fun. 

    After a while it got to be a chore. Then it became tedious. I even quit putting sticky-tags on my cigars showing the dates and where I got them. To me, cigars should be enjoyable - not drudgery. Although, I admit, the sticky-tags are a useful idea.....

    I used to use Cigar Geeks which had web and mobile, and a good database which made it easy to enter cigars.  Like jlmarta said, it becomes more of a chore to add new cigars and remove them every time you smoke one.  The worst part is that the list you put all the effort into maintaining, you end up never looking at.

    @0patience Just wanted to jump in to let you know that we don't disclose your personal info (email or otherwise) to third-parties at Sigaro. We only use this info to send notifications (matches, followers, comments), newsletters (if you opt in), and as a unique identifier for your account.

    If there are any questions or suggestions for what you might like to see in a cigar app, feel free to get in touch via email (info at sigaroapp dot com). We'd definitely like to be more than something falling under the "garbage" category! :smile:

    @sigaro

    I appreciate your posting.
    I will give it a try then.
    I would love to be able to tell the guys I found one favorable, but I can be a bit critical.

    As I stated in my original post, your app "looked good", but the sign up thing and mention of third parties in the privacy thing, made me balk at it.

    I will give it a try and see.

    I have installed the app and have had a chance to look it over.
    I will email you with some questions.

    @sigaro

    i tried to have a look. Here's my $.02 worth so far -

    i do about 98% of my 'putering on my iPhone. When I log into sigaro.com I only get roughly the left half of the page. Doesn't matter whether I'm looking in portrait or landscape mode. 

    I assume the site isn't yet set up to handle IOS/iPhones. I'd be curious to see it when it will...   
  • sigarosigaro Posts: 6 ✭
    @jlmarta We're currently accepting beta testers for iOS, so if you're interested, send an email over to beta at sigaroapp dot com and we'll get you set up.

    Thank you both for your interest!

    "Rate My Cigar" is awesome. Been using it for years. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated (new cigars) in a while. Thats not really a problem though, as you can manually enter the info.
  • sigarosigaro Posts: 6 ✭
    @jlmarta and anyone else interested - we just released our iOS app, which you can find on our website or from the App Store.

    @0patience We're testing an Android update with several of the features we discussed via email and should be releasing it within a couple weeks. iOS should be updated with these new features by the end of the month, as well. Thanks again for all the great feedback!
  • jlmartajlmarta Posts: 7,881 ✭✭✭✭✭
    @sigaro, thanks for the heads-up. I've just downloaded the app for IOS and it looks like I'll have an interesting time exploring it. If it turns out to be all I hope it will, I think I'll enjoy it. 

    Thanks again.....   B)
  • NorthsideSmokeNorthsideSmoke Posts: 751 ✭✭✭✭✭

  • 0patience0patience Posts: 10,665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What is the app called from Sigaro?

    It show up on google play if you search Sigaro. They need to get the keywords set up on google play to come up when you search "cigars".
    Can't recall how I originally found it.
