  • Great Support

    I have been using this app since rev zero. The best part of this app is that it works. It works well. I have over 500 books in my collection and and am able to use this app to reference them rapidly and clearly. The best part of the app is the support. They are always open to new ideas and they are continuously improving the app performance. They provide the kind of support and improvements that all developers should attempt to deliver. In my mind these folks are the gold standard that all others should be trying to emulate.

  • User for almost 10 years now

    I cannot say enough good things about this app. It is very stable and incredibly full of useful functionality. I have used this and the Movies version for about 10 years and the games app for almost 5. I am very happy. I keep all my inventory here. I love the layout especially. It has perfect screen real estate use. Not too much “white space” and not too crammed with stuff. It automatically pulls images and plot information and version information from their extensive database. It also lets you configure how you’d like to use it. And of course if you don’t want all the details, you don’t have to put them in. Use as you’d like. :). I love it. I would not change for anything. Even my insurance agent was impressed with it. He accepted this as a viable inventory system fir his purposes as well. :)

  • Would Be Lost Without It !

    I’m an avid reader and researcher. As a result, my library of books was growing beyond my capacity to manage. Fortunately, some years back, I realized that some software was needed to help maintain some order in this regard. After trying a number of different applications, I settled on CLZ Books. It’s a robust, well thought out program that not only meets my needs, but exceeds them. I was so impressed with the product that I went on to order their comparable Movies and Music apps. They’ve all been life savers.

  • Love CLZ app!

    I’ve been using CLZ for 4 or 5 years now to catalog the books I’ve read. It’s easy to use and helps me keep track of what I‘ve read in various formats...paper books and different e-book versions. I tried different apps in the past, even tried keeping a list in a spreadsheet, but this has made life much easier. Its search feature works great and there’s plenty of fields to enter everything I want to keep track of. They update it regularly and keep making it better. I love this app!

  • Excellent book database

    This database which works on both my iPad and iPhone let’s me know which books I have. And I can mark if I have read the book. Sometimes I am looking for a book by author and I see one I don’t recognize…well sometimes a book will be rereleased with a new cover, with this app I can quickly find out if I already have the book. I have made suggestions to CLZ and they always respond, either they include my suggestions, or explain why they won’t. Excellent support!

  • CLZ Books makes reading easy

    I love CLZ books! I have been a life-long reader and would keep written lists of books I have read and wanted to read. This app lets me catalog my books and track my reading. You can sort by author or title. It also gives you a picture of the cover! I use other CLZ apps and they are great also. The staff is very helpful if you have an issue and they send out informative emails to always let you know what is coming up or updated in the apps!

  • Love this app!

    I have been using CLZ Books for over 5 years. I have over 1000 books in my collection from children’s fiction, adult fiction, and nonfiction. It was so easy to add my books into the database. I can categorize them how I want so they are easy to find. Plus there is a search button for quick finds. It is so nice to have my entire book collection at the tip of my fingers when I am out shopping. Before using, I can’t tell you how many time I purchased multiple copies of the same book because I couldn’t remember if I already owned it. The support is phenomenal! They responded quickly and even on weekends.

  • outstanding app for cataloging book collection

    This app is well worth the (very reasonable) investment. I recently used it to document my 1500-book collection, and that process went quickly and efficiently. The scanner worked for most books, and if the book is too old you can just enter its information manually. There are a ton of optional data fields (author, cover, read vs unread, and many more) which makes this app highly customizable.

    Overall, this is a well-designed and -implemented app for which they make regular updates and improvements. Highly recommended!

  • useless currency field

    The latest update touts “a setting for choosing a currency other than USD!” Wow. Now the books I buy in USD can be denominated in EUR if I choose, instead of books bought in EUR denominated in USD. Or I can have all my USD and EUR books listed as GBP. How on earth do the makers of this app think this can be useful? I’ve asked more than once for a multi-currency field, so that I don’t have to use the “notes” field to enter the price I pay for books. But I’m told this would be “too complicated.” It’s curious that the developers of this otherwise powerful app can’t accommodate such a simple request.

  • Long time user

    I started using book collectorz years ago, probably 10 at least maybe more. I was using the PC desktop version until last year when my computer had a major meltdown. It took me a while but I decided to get an iPad and finally downloaded the mobile version of book collectorz. I figured I would have to redo my entire catalog all over again and I had tons of information. This was the best program I had found, hands down, and I loved updating my catalog. To my surprise, I found my catalog in CLZ. I don’t have to redo every single book, yay! At the time my library was 6771 books. It was a daunting task to think of having to redo it. I’m thrilled I don’t and only have to add the new books. I love this program. It’s got so much functionality, easy to use, and looks good while doing it! I recommend this program over anything else you could ever find.
