The best option is that the software scans the barcode to add the movie quickly to the collection. For most movies it takes a few seconds to add, and no further typing or searching is needed. If the movie is not found in their catalog, it can be added manually. I also use the location option to log where the movie is stored to be retrieved easily.
The app is also constantly updated with new features. It is worth every dollar.
CLZ Books reviews from customers
Why It’s in a League of Its Own:
Lightning-Fast Scanning: The barcode scanner is a marvel. You can literally walk down your shelves, scan one book after another in rapid succession, and watch your digital library build itself in real time. It rarely misses a beat, even on older or international editions.
Impeccable Database Accuracy: CLZ’s core database is incredibly robust. It doesn't just pull the title and author; it fetches high-quality cover art, publisher details, publication dates, page counts, and genres. For older books without barcodes, the manual search by ISBN or author is smooth and highly accurate.
No More Duplicate Buys: The absolute best feature for any serious book lover is the instant duplicate warning. If you’re at a used bookstore or an estate sale and can’t remember if you already own a specific edition, one quick scan tells you exactly what’s on your shelf back home. It has saved me money and shelf space more times than I can count.
Seamless Cloud Syncing: The app syncs flawlessly with the CLZ Cloud. Whether you are checking your collection on your phone while out, organizing on an iPad on the couch, or managing a massive collection via their optional web version (Book Connect), everything stays perfectly in lockstep.
Deep Customization: It allows you to track whatever matters to you—loan statuses, reading progress, purchase dates, condition, and even custom tags or storage locations (e.g., "Living Room Shelf A").
The Bottom Line
CLZ Books is clearly built by collectors, for collectors. It turns the daunting, tedious task of inventorying thousands of books into an incredibly satisfying, addictive weekend project. The interface is clean, the performance is rock-solid, and the development team is constantly rolling out meaningful updates.
It is worth every single penny of the subscription. Highly, highly recommended!
Don’t let ‘simple’ put you off though. The app allows you to filter as many ways as you can imagine. Its ability to track books series is excellent and extremely useful for me.
Highly recommended.
