Hello All,
Question, what cigar app do you find yourself using?
Currently, I am using a pen and paper journal and writing my thoughts and comments there. But I would love to find an app I can throw on my android phone and tablet, so I can more easily share with others.
The following apps, I am trying right now:
Aficionado - This appears to be put out by Cigar Aficionado and is well built. The one thing I hate about this app is that the managers of this app come across to me to be rather snobbish. If the cigar you have is not on their database, or not up to their standards, you cannot add it. Being on a fixed income, I cannot afford the premiums, so this makes the app rather useless to me.
Cigar Geeks - The Cigar Geeks seems to be a good one. So far, they've had my Famous-Smokes/ Cigar Auctioneer sticks on their database, and I really appreciate that! The thing I don't like about this app is that they didn't have a free version of the app, and I was leary shelling out $4.00 for an app I knew little about. I had to hunt down their web site and check their database, but up to this point, I am liking it. Another thing I am not appreciating about this app is that their web site forces me to drop my VPN in order to access their online site (Not Cool!)
Sigaro - The last app I am looking at is Sigaro. It cost me a buck or two for the registered app, but they did offer it as a free version. The one thing I really LOVE about this app is that the devs are very quick to respond. They asked me for some feedback, and well... since they asked, I gave it to them! Within a half hour, one of the devs responded and added my suggestion! That got my attention real quick. The one thing I really am turned off about this app is that if you want to use all the bells and whistles, the subscription fee is $4-5.00 a month! Personally, I don't mind paying $1-2.00 for a useful subscription service, but $4-5.00 is a bit harsh for me.
So, what app do you use?
