Ratings and reviews

Had about 40 cigars listed in My Journal but they seem to have been erased. I tried adding a new cigar to my journal but when I close the app and go back in the cigar I just entered had not been saved for some reason. Really like this app and would give it 5 stars when it works properly but was really bummed to see everything I had taken the time to enter over the past year just disappear.

I've enjoyed this app for a few years. I had an issue being able to manually add cigars last year, but that has since been resolved. Having used this cigar as much as I have, I would like for there to be a makeover, with one upgrade I'd highly recommend. Most cigar apps allow you to rate a cigar on a scale that is typically up to a 5 star over 5 categories (Cigar Scanner offers draw, appearance, burn, aroma and taste). It would be great to offer a scale up to 20, where the cigar rating could be on a 100pt scale similar to many cigar publications. This would also allow the user to truly distinguish between cigars ratings. I have quite a few cigars in my journal that have a rating of 4.0 or higher, but they are truly not all equal, thus yielding sorting cigars by my rating not as informative.

This app rarely, if ever, read the cigar label successfully. Most of my entries were through typing out a search. And despite being logged in the entire time I had the app, the info did not save and transfer over when I got a new phone. I reached out to support since I saw this info should be cloud based (per another review) but this doesn't seem to be the case. The whole point of using this app was to keep record of what I smoked and how I rated it. Since that is gone I'm deleting this app.
