Yeah, I never downloaded the app and it's not free here either. I just use the web. Also... and this is important... don't trust all of our opinions anyway. You might like different things than I do, so don't let my rating on something turn you away. Now, if you see NOTHING but terrible things... maybe think twice. Trick is, try finding someone who rates cigars similar to your tastes and maybe even seek out some of the cigars they really loved, etc.
