Most of the dev team (Pim, Bernard, Michiel and AJ) have been working on upcoming updates for CLZ Movies, both mobile and web.
And we can finally release both today.
Here’s what’s new for your CLZ Movies mobile app.
It started out as a relatively small update in which we would add some new fields (just like we did for the books and music apps recently). However, the update has grown into a huge major upgrade, with several big new features that have been on our “to do” list for many years.
- Editable episode lists for TV Series
- Watch history: track multiple watch dates for your movies
- Add your own YouTube trailer links
- Extra fields for Box Sets: Purchase Price/Date/Store and Notes
- A new “Features” fields, to track available features for DVD/BR/4K
- The HDR field now allows multiple values, e.g. HDR10 *and* Dolby Vision
Check out some screenshots below!
Fixed:
- Edit Movie: Main tab didn’t show any fields when using next/previous buttons

Various fixes and improvements
Improved:

- Going back from a details page to the images view sometimes jumped frantically to the top
CLZ Movies has been updated to the new Play Store API.
v9.7.x Tapping Seen It “eye” icon now also sets Viewing Date to today
Small improvement today, suggested by one of our users:
- In movie details, tapping the “eye” icon now not only sets Seen It to YES, but it ALSO sets the Viewing Date to today.
- This is ON by default. Use the new setting “Tap eye icon to set Viewing Date” to disable this.
Also some fixes for the Android edition:
- Rare problems tapping the Add and Sync buttons
- Edit screen layout on tablets
- Back button in Manage Pick Lists screen
- Scan screen suddenly switching to front cam
Fixed:
- A crash in the Pre-fill Settings screen
Fixed:
- Fixed: various crashes related to the recent performance improvements
What’s New:
- Optimized startup process for a quicker launch
- Improved Sync with CLZ Cloud: Smoother and faster, especially with image downloads
Fixed:
- Problems could occur when updating to new app version with an incorrect login
This is a recommended security update:
- 2FA support: if you have 2FA enabled on your CLZ Account, the app will now ask you for the 2FA authenticator code when you log in to the app
- Several other changes to better secure your account
- New “Change email address” link in the CLZ Account screen
Fixed on Android:
- On startup, the collection tab-bar on startup could be blocked by Android navigation bar
New: “edge-to-edge” support for Android 15. This means that all screens will now use the entire vertical space. This gives you more screen real estate to (for instance) view more of your movie list in your main screen!
Fixed:
- Photo / image picker wasn’t able to access all images on the device
- Side menu: Refreshed background colors at the top
- Details panel: Updated placeholder cover for movies without a cover
Fixed:

- Adding movies by barcode: on some devices the barcode queue didn’t appear
- Side menu: Refreshed background colors at the top
- Details panel: Updated placeholder cover for items without a cover
Adding movies by scanning barcodes is THE most important feature of the app, so we will never stop trying to make the barcode scanner better and better 🙂
In today’s 9.6 update, we bring three improvements to the barcode scanner:
- Now reads barcodes much faster and in the entire camera screen!
- New scanning feedback shows where it “sees” a barcode
- New Type Barcode tab for manual barcode entry and support for external USB/BT scanners
We’ve fixed various crashes that happened throughout the app that.. shouldn’t happen anymore with this new version 🙂
We recommend you update your app A.S.A.P. Your app may have updated itself already (check the menu top left, the version number is at the top). If it hasn’t updated itself yet, here’s how to force the update:
- On your device, open the Play Store app.
- Search “CLZ” and select your CLZ app.
- Tap “Update” to update the app.

We have changed our company name!
We were previously called “Collectorz.com”, but as everyone called us “CLZ”, we figured, let’s go with the flow and officially rename the company to just “CLZ”!
But that’s not all. This week also brings:
- a new company logo and styling
- a completely new website at clz.com (previously www.collectorz.com)
- new names for our web-based software, previously called Connect, now simply CLZ Comics Web, CLZ Movies Web, CLZ Games Web, etc…
- new app icons for all CLZ apps!
A nice update for CLZ Movies again, in which we did improvements to several areas of the app.
- Re-design of the Sort Order screen
- New Date and Month folder options for all date fields
- Statistics: new look for Most Recent lists
Fixed:
- Edit screen: After cropping a cover, the app would sometimes still show the non-cropped version in the edit screen
