New:
* More optimizations for down-syncing with CLZ Cloud
Fixed:
* Sync: Custom covers weren't downloaded
Faster down-syncing from CLZ Cloud:
* Syncing now down-syncs the *data* first, while queuing the *image* downloads. This makes the data sync super fast.
* Downloading the images is much quicker too, especially on fast connections, as it downloads multiple images at the same time.
* As soon as the data download has completed, you can close the Sync screen and start using the app. The image downloads will continue at the bottom of the main screen, prioritising images that are "in view".
Fixed:
* Renamed “Listened” to “Played”
* Edit: Personal: New big blue “Mark as Played” button on the Personal tab for unplayed albums
* Edit: Links: Tapping next/previous album while waiting for link description could crash the app
Fixed:
* Crash: When an album couldn’t be located/selected on start-up or after editing the app could crash
* iPad: album sometimes wouldn’t be scrolled to after picking it from a search in your own collection
* Collection bar at the bottom could disappear on closing the sync screen
* Collection bar didn’t appear immediately when adding a new collection for the first time
Fixed:
* The scroll position in the list could be wrong after searching in own collection and tapping a result from the suggestions
* Images view: Pinch to zoom in images view was broken
* Edit screen: tapping "next" or "previous" on the Links tab would crash the app
New "One-by-One" mode for adding albums by scanning barcodes:
Up till now, adding by barcode always used a "queue":
Scan barcodes to add albums to a queue, then add em all in one go. Quick and efficient.
Today, we are adding a "One-by-One" mode, *without* a queue:
Scan a barcode, the album details are shown, tap Add, and instantly return to the camera screen to scan the next one. Clear and easy.
Switch between the two modes using the queue icon at the bottom right of the camera screen.
New: Automatic eBay search links:
* easily get a feel for an album's value, by finding its' Completed/Sold listings on eBay
* easily find available copies on eBay, for you to purchase (e.g. for your wish list items)
You can find the links:
- on the album details page: in the Action menu / next to the cover / under Links
- when adding albums
Use Settings to configure where the links appear.
Please note: CLZ may be compensated for purchases made.

Adding albums by scanning barcodes is THE main feature of the app, so we will never stop trying to improve our barcode scanner :-)
In today's 9.5 update, we bring three improvements to the barcode scanner:
1. Now reads barcodes much faster and in the entire camera screen!
2. New scanning feedback, with a red box and scan line that "follow" the detected barcode
3. New Type Barcode tab for manual barcode entry and support for external USB/BT scanners
Fixed:
* Switching between folders didn't refresh the list correctly in certain cases
Fixed:
* Add Albums: Tracks didn’t show in the add sheet
* Fixed a couple of startup crashes
* Small tweaks to the app icon
We have changed our company name!
Previously "Collectorz.com", now 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...
And, the reason for today's app update:
* a new app icon that fits the new CLZ styling
* new app logos and styling inside the app
Fixed:
* iPad: Edit / Sort Settings screens were too small since iOS18
Several smaller improvements:
* Statistics: nicer looking Recent Additions and Most Valuable top lists
* New folder options for all Date fields, that let you group your collectibles by Day or Month, e.g. by Purchase Month, or Added Day.
* Redesigned Sort Order screen with clearer options for choosing between ascending and descending sorting (now called "A-Z" / "Z-A", "Oldest First" / "Newest First" and "Lowest First" / "Highest First")
Fixed:
- Crash when using Maintenance / Removed unused pick list entries
- Search box: the "search-as-you-type" suggestions now take Collection Status filter into account
Various tweaks and fixes
* New:
- Better indication and handling of “subscription expired” status
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 Albums by Artist/Title: after adding an album, the cursor will be put back in the search box straight away so you can immediately start your next search
Fixed:
* Statistics: In some cases the order under "most recent" could be wrong
Updated:
* Free Mode is now called Free Trial (still works the same way)
Fixed some problems related to updating/remembering the app’s subscription status
