Neat App On Iphone To Help Keep Log of Your Collection.

I stumbled upon this App called Mi Folio and thought i would try to use this to keep records on my pipes and tobacco just so i have the information on all my collection at my finger tips. Now this may not be the best app out there for this but its what i found and i think it works rather well.

As shown in the image above i can make whatever Categories i please since i don't have a huge collection i just made one for pipes and another for tobacco here. Its neat cause i can see a picture and a little of the information i have typed in there about the pipe. So lets click on the Savinelli.

Here you can see i added information on the pipe everything from shape, size and finish. there is more info in the yellow portion of the image you just need to scroll down it acts like a note pad. Also in this picture you see that you can add other sorts of media on this item ie, Pictures, Videos and sketches there's more if you scroll down as well.


Above is one i made for one of my favorite blends and in the second picture if you look and the first "add web page1" it is a link to 4noggins website on the page for Killington.
Only down side is when you view the photos they come out distorted but i already emailed the creator of the app hopefully it will be fixed. Anyway thought i would share this if anyone likes to try it and put in there two cents please do or better yet if you have something that works better then this i would be really interested and im sure there are other like me who would be as well.

We should have an app like this made for the site except directed towards pipes and pipe tobacco hell i'd buy it for sure. i mean i have the ideas but i don't have the skill to make this. I do however have connections and friends that can ill ask them and see it shouldn't be to difficult.
However i probably shouldn't because my last contribution created alot of drama on here (show off threads). so on second thought ill just use this app. :|

If you got any info on posting with the iPhone I sure would appreciate it!

This app isnt so bad but the only thing is you got to enter most of the information manually which i don't mind because categorizing my collections of anything i collect is part of the fun for me.
i have an idea to make a much more user friendly version of this but ill have to look into it with some friends of mine.

I'm at work on it now. Shhhh....

Actually i have trouble with this also i link all my pictures from my FB account and on the iPhone FB doesn't allow you to copy image locations. its so frustrating but petes03 me and you are part of a minority that use there phones to view this site i think or else there would be a mobile site for PM.com by now lol

A mobile site was already discussed on this forum a while back but it was not something Kevin was interested in.
I believe his reasoning was something along the lines of people posting on their phones promoting bad habits when it comes to punctuation, grammar or run on sentences. And these bad habits would take away from the maturity and intelligence this forum presents.
Although I understand completely what Kevin was saying there, it can be argued that modern smart phone technology with their QWERTY key pads and spell checking software would help to prevent such bad habits. Typing on your smart phone is very similar to typing on a keyboard now (for the most part). Yes it will always be easier to type on your keyboard but for those who are used to their phones it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyhow I am not going to argue with Kevin on his decision it his forum his rules.

fair enough Jason thanks for the clarification.
