myArmsCache Version 4.5.5 | Release Date: August 18, 2021
Over the past few months, I have been working on adding features to the app that received the most votes in the last user survey. The last update included a number of the new features users wanted. In this new version of the app, I added a Gun Part section (only available to Premium Members) — it was one of the more popular features that the Premium Members voted to be added to the app.
Here are more details about the Gun Part section:

When setting up your new device, Apple has made things really simple with Quick Start.
With Quick Start, you can set up your new device using the information on your current device — and it’s very simple. Just turn on your new device and place is near your current device. A screen will appear on your current device that will take you through prompts to set up your new device. For complete instructions, visit: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210216
Even if you choose to use Quick Start, I still recommend that you backup your data before getting rid of your old device. I also recommend using File Sharing to copy the myArmsCache databases to your computer, just in case you run into any issues. See more details below:
One option is to use iCloud to backup your data. There are a number of steps you need to follow to make sure myArmsCache is included in your iCloud Backup. You’ll need to make sure you follow the instructions exactly.
For complete details, visit Instructions for Backing up Data
In addition to backing up your data (or if you don’t want to backup your data), I recommend using File Sharing to keep a copy of the databases on your computer.
It is an additional safeguard that can help to prevent you from losing your data when getting a new device or if something goes wrong with your current device and you can’t restore from backup.
Also, if you want to have your data on more than one device, you can simply copy the databases to that device.
The instructions for File Sharing differ slightly depending on what operating system you are using on your computer.
Here are is a link to detailed instructions provided by Apple for File Sharing: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301
If you’re using macOS Catalina or later, you can use Finder to share files between your computer and your devices. Here is a link to instructions from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210598
*** WARNING *** do not attempt to edit or modify the database files on your computer; doing so could cause serious issues and corrupt the data.
If you have any questions, you can contact me through the app by going to the Options & Support section and selecting Email Developer.
I wanted to thank all the Premium Members that took time to complete the survey I sent out at the end of April. It provided a lot of good information about the app.
If you’re interested, here are the results of the survey:
1. How would you rate myArmsCache on a scale of 1-5?
Answer: the Weighted average was 4.59
Some of the comments included:
This app is designed for many different devices with different storage capabilities, including the iPad Pro, iPhone 7, iPhone 11, etc. Photos take a lot of memory and not everyone has a device that can handle a lot of photos, so myArmsCache has to accommodate their devices and be a ‘photo’ heavy app. If you want a lot of photos of your guns, a great solution is to use the Camera & Photos app that comes with your device. Once you add photos, you can add them to Albums. That way you can keep as many photos of your items as you need
2. What sections of the app do you use the most?
Summary: It looks like the Ammo section is used the most, with the Gun section in 2nd place. Here are the percentages:
3. What sections of the app do you use the least?
Summary: It looks like the Shopping List section is used the least, with the Range Checklist not far behind. Here are the percentages:
4. What new features would you like to see added to the app?
Some users already answered this in the first question. Here is a list of the responses (I removed duplicates):

PHOTOS:
There are a number of users that would like to add more photos to the app, so I wanted to address that. Right now, the app offers the ability to add a number of photos, with the exception of the Accessory section.
Gun section: you can take up to 5 photos (a main photo, and 4 additional).
Ammo section: you can take a main photo for your Ammo, then photos of each of your purchases.
Accessory section: you can take 1 photo of your Accessory.
Range Report: you can add as many Shooting Records as you want. Each Shooting record includes a photo.
This app is designed for many different devices with different storage capabilities. Photos take a lot of memory and not everyone has a device that can handle a lot of photos.The app needs to be able to be user friendly for ALL devices.
myArmsCache is a gun and ammo app, not a photo app. I need to stay true to its purpose. If you want a lot of photos of your guns, a great solution is to use the Camera & Photos app that comes with your device. Once you take a photo, you can add them to an Album — call the album Guns, so it’s easy to find. That way you can keep as many photos of your items as your device has room for. I addressed this in Question #1, but I wanted to include it here also incase you missed it.

I value all of your input and am doing my best to continually improve the app for everyone.
My goal is to make the app user friendly for everyone. The challenge is, everyone has different devices and they use the app differently.
I am only one person, there is no team or anyone helping me. It takes a great deal of time to keep the app updated due to changes in the iOS and continually add new features. When I add new features to the app, I need to consider all users and make sure what I’m doing is beneficial to everyone using the app.
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for being a Premium Member and supporting the app!
The app would not exist if it wasn’t for your support.
