A special update for the slab collectors!

Three years ago, we introduced a new look for slabbed comics, with generated “slab frames” around the cover images, with blue/yellow/green labels at the top the grade at the top left, even showing actual Custom Labels. Making it super easy to spots your slabs between your raw comics.
For several reasons, that feature was only implemented in the Card View and on the comic details pages. Not in List View (we figured it would be too small) and in Images View (technically complex because of the configurable size).

However, our mobile developers Pim and Bernard gave it another try and did make it work this time.

So that’s what’s new in today’s 10.7 update:
The generated slab frames are now visible in List View and Images View too!

Once a Goblin: The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town #1. It all begins with the unveiling of Dr. Finkelstein’s newest creation, specially designed to be the scariest creature ever to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve. But something has gone awry in the process, and the final result is more cute and cuddly than fearsome and menacing. The disappointed scientist hands the newcomer over to Sally for safekeeping, who dubs it Shiver for its freezing breath.

Meanwhile, the Mayor has tasked Lock, Shock, and Barrel with teaching the residents of Christmas Town how to trick-or-treat, as the two realms have embarked on a new campaign to share their holiday traditions. With Christmas Town celebrating Halloween for the first time ever, the trio are taking their assignment seriously — perhaps a bit too seriously! In an effort to make their pranks extra lifelike and terrifying, they decide to “borrow” some ingredients from Dr. Finkelstein’s lab — and end up with much more than they bargained for in the form of the deceptively adorable Shiver!

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 comic list and comic 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 10.6.2 of the CLZ Comics 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!

Fixed:

A couple of navigation issues

How to update your app to the new version:

On your device, open the Play Store app.
Search for “CLZ” and select the CLZ Comics app.

The Add Comics screen could crash if a result without any popularity was shown

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.
