CLZ Comics - comic database

I enjoy being able to add a lot of little details to my collection and I like having multiple sorting and grouping options. CLZ has all of that and more. Dozens of fields to sort by, and default settings can be changed so you have full control of your inventory. There is a cover viewing control that shows off the art of all your issues beautifully. New updates come semi frequently, and often come with a whole new feature as well as bug fixes. Their database is accurate and updates fast, and has all creator information. This app has saved me from buying repeats almost every time I go bin diving. By far the best feature of this app for me is the barcode scanner. I’ve used quite a few comic inventory apps and many boast a barcode scanner, but no barcode scanner has ever worked for me except here on CLZ. It does get confused by the time you reach the 1980s but for modern and copper age I’ve never had it be wrong. After attending Fan Expo Boston this year I had a stack of 70 comics and they were in my collection in two minutes. In short, if you have a large collection and need to keep track of your issues, stop yourself from buying duplicates, view your collection by story arc or crossover or tags or format or something else, and want a barcode scanner that works, this app is beyond worth the $15.

I wanted a way to organize and catalog my old comics and this app delivers. It is really easy to add your comics and the fact that the app has all the cover art too makes even more user friendly. Seeing my collection grow as I added individual comics and series has been strangely satisfying. The process of going through things I haven’t seen in years has been a nice flashback. If you have comics I highly recommend this app. The cloud sync is awesome and there’s an upcoming feature where they’re going to automatically give you the ‘slabbed and graded’ prices of comics on your list. (If you have a great comic or think you do, look that up.) I can’t wait! Thanks for making this app! Edit: I recently was experiencing an issue with the app. It turned out to be completely on my end (internet service issue) but I was able to get help quickly and the person helping me was knowledgeable and friendly.

I’ve tried a few different cataloging apps for my comics and none have ever come close as CLZ does for what I’ve looked for. Cataloging is my collection is so easy by just scanning the barcode. When unable to scan a barcode, searching isn’t difficult at all. It’s organized so many different ways to sort through which is awesome. Having it on my phone is great too as I used to buy a bunch of duplicates before. Now I can check my collection from the app so I don’t buy the same stuff I already have (and just haven’t read yet, haha!) Another very important factor is their customer service. I had to contact their support team with my account and my database in the Cloud. Having the cloud is very helpful but when I couldn’t fix a mistake I made with my accounts they were very responsive, patient and helpful. The update on their app is awesome too!

They keep my - in this case - prolific collection in order. I can delete the ones I’ve gotten rid of, and easily add to my collection with minimal work. I’m a little OCD, and this helps me keep track of what I own, and what I want to delete from my library. It also assists me in keeping track of new items very easily. I love all the CLZ Collector programs: Music, Books, Games, Movies, and Comics. For someone like me who absolutely must have an up to date collections of all my new comics - hardcovers, Graphic Novels, and series, this is the best program around. I can’t say enough good things about it, save I’ve been using this software for about 6 years, and they’re consistently making improvements. It’s a relief to know I don’t have doubles, which I tend to do because I forget, and the ability to add, delete, and update my collection.

This is an amazing app to have. I started seriously trying to collect only a few years ago, but summer of 2018, my collection got to the point of me not being able to keep track of what I had and what I didn’t have, like a lot of people. CLZ was the first app that popped up when I looked for a database type app for the collection and it’s been amazing. If by chance you find a comic they don’t have, they work with you to get it added, so it will appear in your database. The only real issue I have with CLZ, and it’s not overly huge, is that, when trying to export your collection to an Excel file, some of the information is incomplete, whether it’s due to the CLZ database having the information or not I’m not sure. But it’s still a great app.
