Adding comics by barcode is one the main features app and an essential part of that is the camera barcode scanner.
For this update, our mobile app developer Pim has spent a few days optimizing that camera barcode scanner. The idea was to make better use of the power of today’s devices, both in cameras and computing power.
And the results of his tweaks are amazing. The scanner is now much faster!
The difference in scanning speed will be especially noticable when scanning the longer barcodes seen on modern comics, with a 2 digit or 5 digit extension. Correctly scanning that extension is essential for identifying the exact issue and variant.
We would love to hear how the new scanner works out for you, please let us know in this Club CLZ post here!
A more compact NCBD. With this week we have 476 new releases and 208 actual new unique issues. Ghost Machine is releasing their universe with Rook: Exodus, Redcoat and Geiger getting a new volume.

All new books are now listed in the CLZ Core online database, easily searched and browsed through your trusted Add Comics screen.
Since November 2021, CLZ has been providing you Key Comic information for your comics, like first appearances, cameo appearance, deaths, iconic covers, etc.. Up till now, we have been indicating the importance of Key Comics using Major Key (yellow) and Minor Key (blue) designations.
However, starting today, we are renaming Major and Minor and are introducing several extra Key Comic importance levels, so that we can give you a more granular indication of a comic’s importance.
Here’s an overview of the new Key Comic levels, with some examples:
We hope you will enjoy these new key indicators!
