Great concept, needs work!
Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed and honest feedback. You've highlighted three important concerns: collection valuation accuracy, AI scan reliability, and the camera cropping experience. All three have been heard loud and clear. A major update is already in development and is focused specifically on improving valuation stability, scan accuracy through better data verification, and giving users more control over image scanning. Since the app's release just two and a half months ago, six updates have already been shipped, and I remain committed to continuously improving the experience through regular updates. Regarding the subscription, that's a fair question. This app is built and maintained by a single person, not a big company with a team behind it. The reality is that subscriptions are the only sustainable way to maintain and improve the app. Subscription revenue helps cover AI services, infrastructure costs, store fees, and the many ongoing costs required to keep the app running. It also supports the one person behind the app who continues maintaining it and building new improvements. Advertising alone would not generate enough revenue to support those costs. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. Reviews like yours help shape what gets improved next, and I hope the upcoming update addresses many of the issues you've raised.
Not worth it
This app has too much unnecessary interaction and keeps telling me my subscription expired and i haven’t done anything
The “smoking sessions” or cigars lack the picture option
The retro look is not my thing with the icons that took me back to 1996

Thanks for the candid feedback, it helps more than a silent low star. Several of your concerns were actually addressed in v2.2.0, and will be available in a few days: • Photos are now supported for cigars, humidors, and smoking sessions: take one in-app or pick from your library. • "Subscription expired" false alerts : we tracked down and fixed several bugs where active subscriptions were being incorrectly flagged as expired. If anything is still broken after the update, please use Contact Us in Settings. Every message gets read, and bug reports go to the top of the list. Looking forward to hearing from you again after the update.
Lots of Potential

Thank you again for taking the time to write such a detailed review, it genuinely helped shape the next release. Good news: a patch is already on its way and will roll out to the App Store in the next few days as Puro v2.1.0. It addresses everything you mentioned: • Photo viewer now has a clear close button + swipe-down-to-dismiss • Low-stock alerts are collapsible so they never block your sort options • Price estimation is now strictly manual : no more repetitive prompts when adding cigars in a row • AI fill has been upgraded to a stronger model with stricter accuracy rules (it will leave fields blank rather than guess) • Cigars can now be transferred between humidors directly from the edit screen • In-depth rating mode is in, with a spider chart that visualizes every dimension of your session Please don't hesitate to reach out for any other requests, ideas, or issues. We will update the app ASAP whenever something comes in. Reviews like yours are exactly what we need to keep refining Puro.
