Zelf had ik destijds een aantal bijkomende, voor mij nuttige info toegevoegd in het veld ‘notities’. Dat je nu eigen velden kunt aanmaken is een mooie en interessante aanvulling. En zo blijft deze app voor verrassingen zorgen. Je kiest zelf maar wat voor jou werkt. De mensen bij CLZ Music luisteren naar de gebruikers en proberen aan hun wensen tegemoet te komen. Een dikke pluim voor het team dat blijft timmeren aan de weg van een gebruiksvriendelijke app. ### 5/5 — It’s a large collection necessity *2026-06-04, version 10.3.4* Whatever your format in digital or analog, this database app is user friendly and highly customizable. I’ve been using it since its inception. ### 5/5 — Great Product *2026-06-04, version 10.3.4* This is a HUGE step forward over years past. Congratulations on all the user friendly additions. ### 5/5 — Hervorragend *2026-05-28* Super App! Läuft hervorragend! ### 5/5 — Helpful Support *2026-05-28* A couple of times over the years, the Support by email has been quick and helpful. ### 5/5 — For Vinyl Lover’s *2026-04-04, version 10.3.2* Great technology and service. Truly for a vinyl collector. ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-04-02, version 10.3.2* Would be lost without it. A safety net to avoid duplication when browsing for LPs. Also useful record of cleaning vinyl. Responsive ‘help’ team too. ### 5/5 — Getting back into vinyl *2026-04-01, version 10.3.2* After many, many years I bought a turntable and am rebuilding my physical music collection (mostly the recent awesomely good remastered pressings on high quality vinyl). CLZ Music (like their Books app) is a high quality, full-featured app. But the most important thing is that it is actively maintained by a dedicated group of developers who really care about the products. Nothing is more important than frequent releases as a marker of the vitality of an app. Highly recommended. (I am a career software developer, so I can tell!) ### 5/5 — A must have!! *2026-03-30, version 10.3.1* Could I say that if rock saved my life, the CLZ Music App saved me from going crazy? I’d definitely say so! Because ever since I discovered it and downloaded it to try it out, I’ve avoided spending reckless amounts on duplicate, triple (and even more, considering the reissues and various re-releases, which are often unnecessary) vinyls and CDs. It’s true, it has a cost, but believe me, it’s more than justified by the constant and continuous improvements being made, making the CLZ Music App an indispensable tool for navigating my personal collection of over 15,000 records, with the ability to add any kind of note related to the album in question—from catalog number to condition, musicians, recording studios, and packaging. In short, it’s the ultimate solution for any enthusiast, whether a collector or not. There are also apps for books and videos. In short, an inexhaustible resource for anyone looking for an app that serves as a convenient reference and aid. Highly recommended for everyone. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) ### 5/5 — Just started using CLZ and its easy to use *2026-03-28, version 10.2.4* I needed to start a proper but straightforward Vinyl LP listing. CLZ is intuitive and logical, pleasant to the eye and it’s simple to learn as you go without any instructions. I like how it saves to cloud and can sync between ipad and iphone in the one app. I am keen to slowly put all my collection on! ### 5/5 — The best yet *2026-03-25, version 10.2.4* I have been using CLZ since its early days, it’s easy to use and makes life a lot easier. My favourite element is being able to check your collection, when considering a new purchase. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-24, version 10.2.4* This is a good app to categorize CD/Vinyl records, however it’s a pity that no selling/purchazing is included ### 5/5 — Best money spent in a long time *2026-03-24, version 10.2.4* After many years of neglect I decided to gather up and catalog my CD and vinyl collection. I thought it would take me a couple of months to do it so I researched it and settled on the CLZ app and I installed and paid the $19.99 yearly subscription. Well, what I thought would take me months actually took a couple of days, for 366 vinyl lps and 275 cds. I am totally satisfied and the app and service have far exceeded my expectations. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2026-03-24, version 10.2.4* I love my CD’s & this app is the quickest, easiest app to catalogue them all. Awesome idea for insurance cataloguing for collectors. ### 5/5 — Simple to use. *2026-03-24, version 10.2.4* So pleased I downloaded the CLZ app as it was just what I needed to catalog my vinyl collection. So easy to use! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-03-21, version 10.2.4* Really useful app, works well. Good database to search from, and any way you can think of to sort or filter your collection ### 5/5 — Responsive developers *2026-03-19, version 10.2.4* I’ve been using the app for a number of years. When I first started using it, I found it met all my needs, and as time goes by and more updates are released, it gets even better. The best thing is that the developers really listen to customers and genuinely respond to suggestions. The platform is stable and secure, and the mobile version has prevented me from doubling up on purchases on many occasions. I have no hesitation in recommending this product. ### 5/5 — My Go-to for many years *2026-03-18, version 10.2.4* I began using the CLZ music catalog App/web years ago to track my Vinyl/CD collection. It would have been amazing to have this app back when I started collecting. (Really amazing since I started my collection in 1968!) Kudos to the Team at CLZ for their always fantastic product! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ADDING ALBUM COVER *2026-06-11, version 10.3.4* Used to be easy to add album cover. Now cannot figure out how to add a photo. Cannot just simply download a photo to folder then add to album. ### 1/5 — Subscription Garbage *2026-04-27, version 10.3.4* Don’t give any money to people ripping you off. This software should be a one-time charge, but these greedy people don’t want you owning anything. I purchased Music Tracker for a one-time charge, and now I own it. I purchased Movie Buddy for my movies for 9 dollars Lifetime License. I would have purchased CLZ, but only a sucker would pay a subscription fee for something so simple as organizing you music or movie collection. ### 1/5 — Thieves & Robbers *2019-09-05, version 5.0.8* This company stole my money and deleted all my data on me so that they could start gouging people for a monthly subscription instead of you just paying a one time fee and owning the app like it was when I got it! If they screwed me, they’ll screw you too,.. do not waste your money getting bent over by these liars!!! ### 1/5 — Nope. *2019-07-30, version 5.0.6* I have the CLZ comics and movies app that I paid $15 each for. I downloaded the music app before they went to subscriptions, which is very annoying btw. They used to give you 100 free to add to your database. Out of the 25 records I tried, I found 1. Yes 1 lonely record that is still sitting in my collection. I’m about to delete the app. But before I do that, if you want to an app like this, download the Discogs app. It actually works, it will find your music, and it’s FREE. No subscriptions. ### 1/5 — So few Titles *2018-06-05, version 4.10.3* I’m glad I didn’t buy the full version! Of the first 13 artists I tried to enter, it couldn’t find albums for 4 of them. And we’re talking artists like Fleetwood Mac and Warren Zevon. Unless you want to add a lot of titles manually, skip this app.... ### 1/5 — Not updated *2018-03-14, version 4.9.3* They don’t have new CD releases ### 1/5 — Need to buy it AGAIN ??? *2017-12-29* WHAT ?!!! I bought the app years ago and now I need to buy it again to unlock the 100+ items? THIEVES !!! **Developer response:** Of course, if you paid for the app before, you do not have to pay again. The payment for the app is a one-time fee, and lets you re-install the app on any new device and even on multiple devices. After purchasing, just register your app purchase to your CLZ Account, by logging in to the app. After that, you can always unlock the full app on any device by logging in with this same CLZ Account. Maybe you never registered your app to a CLZ Account? Just contact us through help.clz.com and we'll help you unlock your app without paying again. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-11-14, version 4.5.13* New update crashes every time I try to add an album. Useless. iPhone 6, ios 11.1. Click on “Add by searching online”. Type in artist, say “Rolling Stones”. Choose album from list. It brings up album with song list. Click “+” sign. Choose “Add album to wish list”. Crashes immediately every time. Tried dozens of times with different albums. Also crashes when clicking “Add album to collection”. ### 1/5 — Needs export function *2017-06-16, version 4.5.5* Potentially decent app but it needs an export function as well as read only access/passcode to make changes. Limited use without both. Why would you invest the time and effort into building your database without these functions. Ugliest app icon on the App Store too. ### 1/5 — 14,99 € ??!!! *2016-12-31, version 4.4* L'applicazione funziona egregiamente, ma 14,99 € per sbloccare il limite di 200 album è un furto. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CLZ music library *2026-08-27, version 11.0.8* real easy-quite impressed, great precatalogged list to speed up entries. Try it-you will like it. ### 5/5 — It Does Everything I Need *2026-08-22, version 11.0.8* The best music collection app I have reviewed. I have 7" & 12" vinyl, audio cassettes, CDs & mp3's and it does the lot. Ok, its not free, but the for the small yearly fee its worth every penny. Having the mobile version too helps when on the go... especially when in music fairs or music shops and you don't want to buy duplications. Also, I have had a few queries which the support team were quick to respond to. Excellent App, Excellent Service. ### 5/5 — Flexible *2026-08-07, version 11.0.6* Been previously using Discogs but not flexible enough for my needs. This comes with the fields I need (Original Release Date) & can add any further fields that I need. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — A nearly perfect app *2026-07-22, version 11.0.5* I’ve been a long time user of CLZ Music and the app just keeps getting better and better. The latest update has added the ability to create custom data fields which IMHO nudges the app towards perfection. It’s so easy to add new items to the database - just scan the barcode or type in the catalogue number. On the very rare occasion that either of those two methods don’t return any results, it’s super easy to add a manual entry. The app happily handles my 2000+ CD and vinyl collection and seamlessly syncs between iPhone and iPad, and all of the data is backed up to the cloud for safekeeping. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-07-17, version 11.0.3* This app is perfect for all of our needs. We have an abundance of cassette tapes, cds, and vinyl and are always hunting at thrift stores for more. We no longer buy doubles because we can track what we already have. The layout is easy to use and navigate. The feature where we can scan barcodes makes logging everything a lot easier. Also, I love that you can see eBay sold comps and add your own custom fields to your media. I have added toggles for sealed, BMG, disc only, and missing art insert. And the customer service is outstanding! If you ever need anything, you receive a nearly immediate response! I highly recommend this app for all music collectors!!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2026-06-27, version 10.3.4* I have a very large music collection. I find this app essential for when I am hunting for more cds and vinyl. It makes sure that I do not buy a duplicate. The app is very easy to use and well worth the subscription. ### 5/5 — My go to app for managing my music collection *2026-06-26, version 10.3.4* I’ve been using CLZ for several years now to manage my vinyl and CD collection. The easy to use interface allows me to me navigate through titles and prompts me to listen to those gems that I forgot I had. It’s also a great tool to keep track of the value of my collection. The regular notification feature updates via email is refreshing and easy to understand. Love this app and its ever growing features. ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-06-25, version 10.3.4* This software is incredible, been using it for years now. No other comes close. Thank you. Gary ### 5/5 — Discothèque in the Pocket *2026-06-07* Efficace et pratique ### 5/5 — My collection is all accessible now! *2026-06-06, version 10.3.4* I love this app. I was forgetting what vinyls I had now it’s all available for easy access. It took minutes to add my Entire collection!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
