What's new in CLZ Movies? (page 2)
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
Today, a big update for your CLZ Movies Web software.
For this update, we have done a complete re-design of the Add Movies screen. The 3 main goals here were to:
- Make it easier to find the actual movie and release you own, when adding by Title
- Make the search results more compact and nicer looking
- Make it all fast and snappy
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.

Two weeks ago, on Oct 7, we changed our company name to CLZ and moved our website to clz.com.
On top of that, we also renamed our “Connect” web-based editions to CLZ Web. So:
- Movie Connect became CLZ Movies Web
- Comic Connect became CLZ Comics Web
- Game Connect became CLZ Games Web
- Book Connect became CLZ Book Web
- Music Connect became CLZ Music Web
Today, we implemented the next step and also moved the CLZ Web editions to their new home at app.clz.com. (previously “connect.collectorz.com” )
At the same time, the CLZ Cloud site moved from cloud.collectorz.com to cloud.clz.com.
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!

Today, a smart tweak to the “Title” tab of the Add Movies 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 movies. Tap one of these to instantly select that movie.
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.
In today’s Movie Connect update, a smart tweak to the “Title” tab of the Add Movies screen that will save you a lot of typing.
When you start typing in the Title box, it has always showed you a dropdown with 5 matching movie suggestions to pick from. But in today’s update, we added a new “Search for …” entry at the top of that dropdown, with a smart auto-completed search suggestion.
Click that box (or hit down arrow on your keyboard, then Enter) to do a search for that auto-completed search term.
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.)
