Reviews from CLZ users
But above all else is there Customer Service. Prompt, courteous, helpful. Absolutely wonderful people. A wonderful app and great customer service.
I was honestly surprised — and deeply impressed — by your decision to assist me through a version upgrade, especially considering that my original purchase was made more than 12 years ago.
In today’s software industry, it is rare to see such thoughtful and customer-focused support for a legacy product. Your response truly reflects the values and integrity of CLZ as a company, and I am sincerely grateful for your understanding and flexibility.
Thanks to your help, I can continue managing my music collection with peace of mind, and I truly appreciate the care you have shown in handling my case.
I do really like your app as it makes cataloguing my collection so much easier.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
THX again for your help and professionalism!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.
You provide an awesome suite of tools and services so I think it's nice to highlight and celebrate the global impact of what comes from hard work and passion from people like yourself and to reflect back an echo of how these products become part of our routine and how they feed into the storytelling we have with others as that's the real joy of a lived collection.
Your help has been very much appreciated and hopefully there's a lovely weekend ahead!
Now on to books, LOL.

Since we launched the Cover Scanner feature, just over a year ago, it has grown into the most popular method of adding comics and checking values. Four months ago we already did a big update to the feature, to make it easier and fast to use (less clicks) and to add a much requested Queue Mode.
Today, we are doing another update to the Cover Scanner, to better help you select the correct match:
- Improved recognition of Newsstand vs Direct editions
- A new Variant Filter to always hide specific variants
- Popularity indicators for each match
Also new in this update, a small but helpful addition to the Check Value screen:
- The Grade selector now has a new “-none-” option, so that you can easily check values without setting a Grade.
