What's new in CLZ Comics Mobile? (page 13)

New: “Search-As-You-Type” suggestions when adding comics by title. While enter a title to search for, a drop-down list will appear, showing the five most popular series that match. If you see the series you were looking for, just tap to select it.

New search engine for adding comics By Title:

We fixed an issue where the menus could show up “empty” on some Android devices out there. Should be good again now! 🙂

  • Tap the pencil icon for Artists, Authors and Series to directly edit Names *and* SortNames.
