News & updates tagged 'android'
Since we launched the Cover Scanner feature, just over a year ago, it has grown into the most popular method of adding comics and checking values. Four months ago we already did a big update to the feature, to make it easier and fast to use (less clicks) and to add a much requested Queue Mode.
Today, we are doing another update to the Cover Scanner, to better help you select the correct match:
- Improved recognition of Newsstand vs Direct editions
- A new Variant Filter to always hide specific variants
- Popularity indicators for each match
Also new in this update, a small but helpful addition to the Check Value screen:
- The Grade selector now has a new “-none-” option, so that you can easily check values without setting a Grade.
v10.2.3: (Android only) Smoother navigation between folders, movie list and movie details
This one is for the Android users!
Our Android developer Pim was working on the app’s main screen and he saw some opportunities for improvement. Mainly to reduce slowness and stuttery behaviour when navigating back and forth between the folder list, the movie list and movie details page.
So instead of starting on the next new feature, we gave him a few days to refactor the code and improve existing functionality.
The result of Pim’s work is live now, in version 10.2.3 of the CLZ Movies app.
We have been testing the new update quite a bit and we think it feels a lot snappier and smoother, especially noticeable on larger collections.
We hope you will notice the improvements too and that it will make you enjoy the app even more!
How to update your app to the new version:
- On your device, open the Play Store app.
- Search for “CLZ” and select the CLZ Movies app.
- Tap “Update” to update the app.

Adding games by scanning barcodes is one of the most popular features of the CLZ Games app. Just scan barcodes, bleep, bleep, bleep, and the scanned games are added to a “queue”. Then use the Add button at the bottom to add all queued games to your database in one go. Quick and efficient.
However, we always like to keep improving the app, or at least give users multiple options. So today we have added a new “One-by-One” mode to the Add by Barcode screen, that is, without a queue.
Adding albums by scanning barcodes is one of the most popular features of the CLZ Music app. Just scan barcodes, bleep, bleep, bleep, and the scanned albums are added to a “queue”. Then use the Add button at the bottom to add all queued albums to your database in one go. Quick and efficient.
