What's new in CLZ Movies for iOS?

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 Movie by title: after adding a movie, 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)

New:

• More collection status colors added in Add Movies screen to show what you already have (or what is already on your sold list, etc.)

Fixed:

• Adding by barcode could throw an incorrect “Already in collection” popup

Fixed:

• Fixed some problems related to updating/remembering the app’s subscription status

New:

• Now supports “Sign up with Google” for new users
• Some more tweaks for new users to help them get started

New:

• Now supports “Sign up with Apple” for new users

New:

Further guidance and popups to help new users get started adding their collection to the app.

Don’t worry, all popups can be dismissed with “don’t show again” 🙂

Fixed for iOS

• In some cases the “Add to Collection” button wouldn’t work

New:

• We changed the “buy now” text link into a big blue button so it’s more clear!

Fixed:

• In some cases logging in to an existing account after starting Free Mode would cause problems with adding.

CLZ Movies is now free to use up to 100 movies, for as long as you like.
This “Free Mode” includes access to all functionality, including CLZ Cloud syncing (for online backups and transferring data between devices).
Got more than 100 movies? Then subscribe (US $20 per year) and add as many albums as you need. Of course, feel free to try the app with 100 movies first!

Fixed

• The app could crash on startup
• The app could crash in certain situations when showing details

Just over two months ago, we released a huge v9.0 upgrade for the CLZ Movies app. But today, we’re back already, with a v9.1 update with two improvements related to cover images, a nice new setting for further customizing your app and finally, an improvement to the barcode scanner.

• Add cover images for “Unrecognized Barcodes”
• Update from Core now also let you REPLACE cover images
• New “Hide Seen It” setting
• Faster barcode scanner

Fixed:

• Sync with CLZ Cloud/Update from Core: Sometimes didn’t download all covers
• Edit Screen: The order of Month/Day would sometimes be wrong (i.e. if your phone was set to German)
• Add Movies: Add button could not be switched back to “In Collection” (if set to a different one)

This is the fourth and final CLZ Movies 9 Feature Hilite email. In this one, I will go over 2 of the smaller improvements of version 9: the added format icon for digital and streaming format and the new ability to tap on actor name in the movie details to instantly see all movies that actor appeared in.

BTW: if you missed the earlier three v9 feature hilite emails, you can still read them on the CLZ Club forum here:

• Improved Adding Movies by Title
• The new Collections Tab Bar
• Better screens for reporting “unrecognized barcodes”

Here it is, the 3rd “CLZ Movies v9 feature hilite” email. Today’s email is about the improvement to the screens for dealing with “unrecognized barcodes”.

Here’s my second “v9 feature hilite” email, about the next big feature of last week’s CLZ Movies v9 release.
(tip: if you missed feature hilite #1, you can read it here)

Today, we are going to discuss the new collections tab-bar.

Fixed:

• Tapping an actor could crash the app

Fixed:

• Tapping an actor to view all his/her movies could result in showing movies from someone else
• iPad: Tapping a result from the search box top right didn’t select the right movie
• Add screen:
• For TV Series and Box Sets, the “Add Sheet” wouldn’t always pull up high enough to show all data
• Add button wouldn’t always immediately work
• Cover from previous result would sometimes show in “Add Sheet”

Last week, we released version 9.0 of the CLZ Movies mobile app, our biggest update ever! So big in fact, that you may not have checked out all the new features yet.
To help you get started with all the new stuff, I am going to do four “v9 feature hilite” emails, each one highlighting one of the four big features of this update.

This is Feature Hilite #1 and today, we’re gonna take a look at all the improvements to the Add Movies by Title feature.

It has been a while since we had the chance to sit down and work on the CLZ Movies app for a longer stretch. That is, doing improvements that are specific to movies and DVD/Blu-ray/4K releases. In fact, the project took much longer than anticipated, as new ideas for improvements kept popping while we worked on it. And we decided to just let that happen and create the best version of the app that we could think of right now.

Today, we can finally show you this huge v9.0 update for your CLZ Movies mobile app. Here’s what’s new:

• Improved Add Movies / Add by Title screen
• Collection tabs: easily switch between collections using tabs at the bottom
• New: tap an actor name in details to show all your movies with that actor
• Better screens for reporting “unrecognized barcodes” and adding those movies anyway
• When adding Box Sets, the app now automatically asks “Singly Entry or Multiple Entries?”
• Many new icons for digital and streaming formats
