No other app for iOS app can do that! CLZ Comics is my recommended choice for comic collectors.
You guys have made a product that has definitely made my comic shopping / collecting much easier!
Thanks again.. I have comics to scan!
Updated now for iOS 7 and it looks great, very in keeping with the OS whilst still providing all the functionality you could need!
They put most other software companies to shame.
If you have a large comic collection, or it's starting to grow, this is THE only comic database app you should buy - I tried others and they were nowhere near as good! Updated now for iOS 7 and it looks great, very in keeping with the OS whilst still providing all the functionality you could need!
I still wish I could have a sorting option of what's read and what's not read. Other then that, I have no complaints of the app at all.
Now I never leave home without my collection.
Een aantal jaar later begonnen diverse software ontwikkelaars database programma’s uit te brengen waar ik er een aantal van geprobeerd heb, tot ik op een gegeven moment Collectorz tegen kwam. De screenshots op de site zagen er geweldig uit en ik was gelijk geïnteresseerd.
Ik ben begonnen met het downloaden van de demo voor comics en was verbaasd over de beschikbaarheid in de database. Zeker omdat in Nederland de comic wereld niet zo heel groot is. Zelfs de zeldzame comics waren te vinden in de database. Totdat ik aan de limiet van de demo zat, heb ik overwogen om een licentie te kopen.
Na een mooie aanbieding heb ik standaard Comic Collector en Movie Collector aangekocht en hou er mijn collecties in bij. Het mooie is dat als je op titel of streepjescode kan zoeken en als een comic,strip of film niet in de database te vinden is, dat je deze dan zelf kan aanmaken. Je kan ook alle teksten aanpassen naar je eigen idee en smaak zodat je een mooie overzichtelijke database krijgt waar in staat wat je hebt, wat zoekt, wat je uitgeleend hebt of te koop hebt staan.
Sinds kort heb ik ook CLZ Comics voor Android aangeschaft en geïnstalleerd. Met deze app heb kun je je database van de pc zo overzetten op je smartphone. Dit heb ik gedaan omdat ik geregeld naar stripbeurzen ga en zo altijd mijn comic collectie bij me heb en snel kan zien of ik al iets heb of nog iets moet hebben.
Ik kan iedereen die grote verzamelingen heeft, deze software aanraden. Het is je investering echt waard!
The key you sent works and I'm connected. I'm a firefighter/EMT and on-duty today. I can't wait to get home tonight to start going through some of my short boxes and getting everything entered. I even have the Overstreet Price Guide being delivered to my house on Monday so that I can also input current values for my older books.
As soon as I learn my way around the Standard Edition, you can rest assured that I'll be upgrading to 'Pro.'
Zelf gebruik ik geen apps op mijn telefoon omdat er (nog) geen windows phone 8 app is, maar als die komt zal ik er niet aan twijfelen om ook die te gaan gebruiken. Ik sla mijn database nu vooral op in Skydrive zodat ik er altijd bij kan als ik de software om een of andere reden opnieuw moet installeren of als ik op mn laptop aan comic collector werk.
Kortom, ik vind comic collector makkelijk, gebruiksvriendelijk, overzichtenlijk en de makers goed luisterend naar de wensen van de gebruikers.
Het comic collector programma was in het begin van zijn ontwikkeling al een verademing voor de gegevensjunkie, laat staan de huidige vorm van het programma. Het programma is zo uitgebreid en aanpasbaar dat ik mijn boekjes aan het uitpluizen ben op zoek naar nieuwe onderdelen om in het programma te verwerken. Het bijhouden en onderhouden van mijn hobby is een plezierige bezigheid met CC.
De ondersteuning van de software is ongelooflijk geweldig. De samenwerking tussen de ontwikkelaars en de gebruikers is ongeëvenaard. Voor mijzelf is het geweldig dat ik mijn steentje kan bijdragen door het opsturen van scans en diverse kenmerken van mijn zo geliefde DD-pockets. De Mickey-Maandblad reeks heb ik bijna geheel zelf ingestuurd. Ook al kan ik maar 1 iemand hier blij mee maken het is toch iets waar ik ontzettend blij mee ben.
Doordat veel gebruikers actief meewerken aan de ongelooflijk grote database is alles netjes onderhouden en hoef ik meestal nooit naar een scan te zoeken van mijn nieuw aangekochte comics.
De ipad/iphone programma's gebruik ik enkel als naslagwerk. Omdat ik met een gigantische mappenstructuur werk en dit nog niet en wellicht nooit geïmplementeerd zal worden.
Ondertussen gebruik ik ook alweer een tijdje de movie collector, waarbij ik wel gebruik maak van de uiterst handige cloud functie, en ben ik aan het nadenken over de aanschaf van de music collector voor mijn vinyl verzameling.
Uiteindelijk probeer ik steeds een smoes te verzinnen om weer een nieuw Collectorz product aan te schaffen. (Heb ik wel genoeg boeken? Heb ik wel genoeg vinyl?)
Verder moet ik zeggen dat ik met plezier voor deze programma's betaal. De ontwikkeling is erg transparant en in elke grote update is rekening gehouden met de wensen van de gebruikers. Een goed forum met altijd aanwezige ontwikkelaars en medewerkers sluit aan bij mijn wensen.
Mocht ik ooit in Amsterdam zijn (Ik woon in Maastricht) trakteer ik op een ijsje ;-)
Your application is just what I needed. It's quick, easy and highly effective. My only regret is that I didn't have this application many years ago as I'm currently in the process of cataloging my entire collection.
Thank you for such an awesome comic tool!
This is the app for you. Stick in all the comics and next time you are at a chc shop there will be no "have I got that one?"
To be honest I bought the PC version first and blasted through 500+ comics using the barcode scanner. Then synced it to the cloud and bought this app and there you have it. My whole collection at the touching my geeky hands.
There is room for improvement so this is not my one-stop solution yet. (managing the wish list from the PC is cumbersome -- not so much of a problem for the collection). If what you want is access to your comics, covers, and descriptions and you have the time to do the PC updates and uploads diligently, this app is a huge boon at a con: research, dynamic addition, cover art comparison, it really has been a game changer.
My complaints are minor and far outweighed by the benefits and ease of use. Not "perfect" but definitely the best on the platform.
Overall solid app, especially compared to the others which most haven't been updated since 2012.
Like I mentioned before I bought multiple of the same comics because I didn't know what I had. At around $3-$4 a comic the math is simple. Anyway this app may be pricey but it's an absolute must for comic book collectors.
My biggest qualm is that they don't provide you with the current value of the comic. I'm a collector which means that not only do I read the books but I also purchase certain issues for hopeful value increases. I'm a bit disappointed that they don't provide you with current values of each comic, or better yet some sort of graph indicating each books value over time. Even if that was an additional service id be willing to pay it, although for a ten dollar app I think it should be included.
Lastly it would be great if there was a way to transfer your collection from one device to the next via iTunes on the pc. I know it seems like I'm bashing this app, however I'm not. It's just some constructive criticism that I think would make this app the one true comic collection app to rule them all.
If I could have one change, it would be the ability to enter comics in batches or at be able to add the location in batches (which you can do in the desktop software). Still, even entering one comic at a time, you only have to do it once.
The built in barcode scanner is a real time save and I'm very impressed with the fact that I have comics that are over twenty years old and it still found it in their database, I have Web of Spider-Man number one (that's a twenty-nine year old comic) and it was in there! Get this app, you won't regret it!
I haven't gotten the desktop app yet, but I will be in the near future! I look forward to updates that will improve an already great product and continuing to use it! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you.
Is it worth it? Absolutely!!!
Think Lexus vs Smart Car. This app is awesome. Fast searching! The ability to add multiple issues of a series at one time has been great as I move from a far inferior app to this one. It will scan the complete barcode so it knows exactly which issue and which cover you have.
Oh and their support is the best of any app I have.
I HIGHLY recommend it!

UPDATE: Just used the barcode scanning. Best scanning ever!
Recommend for comic book collectors.
I am a disabled veteran, and am missing several fingers. It makes for very slow typing sometimes. The bar code scanner support was/is the best thing for me. Now I can load over 100 comics per hour into my database. Trying to type them in was frustrating and slow.
You have a lifelong customer.
I do have one suggestion that I would like to see that if you scan an issues the whole series comes up and you can either check off the ones you have and/or check to a wish list versus scanning each one.
Love this app!
Worth more than what I paid!
This has the best £6.99 I have spend on any app
Nice app!! On iPhone
Excellent value for money!! Great UI!
I wish it would let you have free reign over cover art (it would be helpful to be able to add your own scan or just opt out of cover art altogether to save space).
I'd also like it to allow for easier adding/viewing of the particular issue(s) grade(s) in your collection.

Haven't tried older comics yet...
However I left my scanner out one day and our new dog decided that it looked like a tasty snack.
I entered 3 short boxes of comics into the app in less than an hour.
I can now go to the store with my entire collection in hand and never worry about a duplicate.
Use it with Collectorz software for it to really be a complete package, but this could definitely be a stand alone app.
The way it shows the cover art makes it easier to keep up with variant covers as well. 5 stars all the way.
Thank you & keep up the wonderful work!
Only thing was like 1 or 2 comics didn't have like the 3rd print on it but they're newer comics.
Soooo worth more than $10
If you collect multiple runs then this is a must have.
Won't need books or notepads full of checklists anymore. This is a huge timesaver. Now I can use my energy buying comics instead of scrounging thru notes when I go to conventions.
Worth the investment.
Si può aggiungere la propria collezione manualmente e incremetare così il database centrale. O semplicemente si possono scaricare dal database centrale i fumetti che ci interessano e poi adattare la collezione alle proprie esigenze... E' praticamente perfetta, ma ogni upgrade presenta una sorpresa nuova e sicuramente utile.
Applicazione sicuramente utile e con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
I have been using various collectorz programs for years and have never been happier with them as i am now.

One niggle I had was that I couldn't use the barcode scanner but I have an old iPhone (3G) and it's just as easy to add comics by title. Overall it's a great way of managing a collection.
I have over 6,000 comics in my database. Uploading and downloading can take time with a collection that large, but the way Collectorz works is amazing.
The barcode scanner is a lil strict but if u line up the barcodes on the comics it works awesome as long as it's steady.
Awesome app and I advise people to buy the computer version also.
A great buy if a real collector. Now you'll know all the comics you have at the touch of a button.
