What's new in CLZ Games Mobile? (page 2)
Today, a smart tweak to the “Title” tab of the Add Games screen that will save you a lot of typing.
As you know, when you start typing in the Title box, the app always shows you a dropdown with 5 suggestions for the most popular matching games. Tap one of these to instantly select that game.
In this update, we added a new “Search for …” entry at the top of that dropdown, with a smart search suggestion. Basically it tries to “auto complete” what you are typing.
Tap that box to do a Title search on those words.
The app now has a “free 7-day trial” again.
No more 100 item “free mode” or “free trial”. We did our best to make it work, but it just didn’t. So we’re back to the old tried and tested “7-day trial” system 🙂
(Don’t worry, if you already started your free mode, it will keep working.)
Updated:
- Add Games by Title: after adding a game, the cursor will be put back in the search box straight away so you can immediately start your next search

- Statistics: In some cases the order under “most recent” could be wrong

A small update for your CLZ Games app today, in which we rectify a big mistake we make in version 9.0 (two mistakes in fact). Also, we improved the camera barcode scanner and introduced a new setting for customizing your app.
Summary of today’s changes:
- Game values are back in the Add Games screen
- Check Values screen now accessible for “grandfathered” users too
- Faster camera barcode scanner for adding games by barcode
- New setting in Settings screen “Show Completed”
This build fixes a couple of crashes that have been reported through our systems.
New:
- Check Value screen will now highlight titles/barcodes to show if you already have them in your collection (blue = in collection)
- Added 3 new platform icons: MSX, MSX 2 and Atomiswave
Fixed for iOS:
- Search as you Type was not working in the “Check Value” screen (by Title)
- A crash could occur on devices running iOS12
- Update from Core now leaves the value alone (use Update Values to get new values)
Fixed for Android:
- Sync with CLZ Cloud: A crash could occur during downsyncing
- Updating Game Values: A crash would occur on loading the “Updated Values” report
- Unrecognized Barcode: An error would show if no images were found for the barcode
