Version 10.0 is here, with one HUGE new feature:
Add Comics by just scanning the cover!
No need to scan barcodes, no need to search by series title.
Just take a picture of your book and the app will recognize it!
Add Comics by scanning the cover!
For most comics, just scanning the barcode is a quick and easy way to add them to your database.
For comics without barcodes, you would need to search by typing the series title and find your comic that way.
But not anymore!
With the new CLZ Comics v10.0, there is new tab in the Add Comics screen, called “Cover”.
There, you can just take a picture of the cover and the app will automagically find the matching comic(s) in our CLZ Core!
If there are multiple similar covers in our CLZ Core, it will show multiple matches.
For example Direct vs Newssstand editions, virgin vs trade-dress covers, etc..
Just tap the one you own to add it to your app.
Or pick an existing photo from your camera roll
Already have pictures of your comics?
Tap the gallery icon on the bottom right to select an image from your Camera Roll.
When do I use this new way of adding comics?
This new method of adding comics is ideal for:
- Comics from the pre-barcode era (before 1976)
- Direct Editions without barcode
- Modern comics without barcode
But of course, the cover scanning works very well on any comic, including ones that do have a barcode!
TIP: use this method if your comics are bagged and boarded and the barcode is on the back of the comic. That way, you don’t have to pull the comic out of the bag to scan it 🙂
See it in action!
Here’s a demo video that shows how we add a range of various comics by scanning their covers:
