### 5/5 — Fantastique

*2025-02-20*

Work very very well in realtime with the Collectorzon apps on my laptop. When you have a significant collection to enter, this is a well done help and work fast !!

### 1/5 — Awful replacement for the previous app

*2023-08-26*

This app constantly crashes and locks up when scanning. Add the that you have to hold it impossibly still for over five seconds to get it to scan. It’s very time consuming and doesn’t work well when needed.

### 5/5 — Easy peasy to use thank you

*2023-06-01*

Great app! Sooo much easier than the previous Barry. I can quickly add books to my library with some basic info to start me off. Quick connection to the online library and doesn’t drop out. Thank you CLZ team, I love this!

### 5/5 — Excellent development

*2023-04-05*

This new app is a beautifully integrated development for the CLZ products. I use it as I move my extensive CD classical collection onto Music Connect. It is simple to use and very fast on my 14 Pro iOS 16.4 iPhone. Thoroughly recommended. Much easier than my old handheld BC Scanner.

### 5/5 — Saving Time

*2023-04-03*

This app is an easy ‘bolt-on’ to an already excellent program. Allowing you to add either a vinyl or CD album in a matter of seconds, with the correct and accurate information. I would not hesitate to recommend it!

### 5/5 — Works quickly and positively

*2023-03-27*

Sad to see the retirement of the CLZ Barry scanner but the new CLZ Scanner works fast and positively. I’m using the scanner with the Book Collector V23.1 for Windows.

### 5/5 — Positively Genius!

*2023-03-18*

Hats off to the creative team at CLZ for your production of the CLZ Scanner software. I entered a half dozen new titles into Movie Connect using the free scanner app. It operates just as you described in your introductory email. Adding new films will be a joy from now on. Thanks again for your continued development of your Collectors software products
Gratefully yours,
Film Noir Don

### 5/5 — Making A Collectorz Life Easier

*2023-02-27*

I have an extensive music collection  and finally getting around to cataloging it.  When you have a stack of CDs and LPs (with barcodes) it becomes tiresome to type in barcodes.  I can’t tell you how many times I typed the barcode wrong and had to do it again.  Anyway, the scanner makes it easier, because you can do multiple items and it goes right to your collection.  Instead of taking hours, now minutes!  Easy setup instructions, easy to use and a time saver.  A great add-on to the CLZ family.

### 5/5 — New scanner app

*2023-02-27*

I tried the new scanner app and it works beautifully. I had some problems at first because of my own mistakes but I received excellent help from Alwin Hoogerdijk. The entire team is very responsive to any problems or questions I have.

### 4/5 — Very efficient

*2023-02-24*

Took a while to follow instructions so I deleted the Barry app from my phone and downloaded the CLZ Scanner. Works fine now.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.1 — 2025-06-18

What's new:
* Added support for Toys-2-Life barcodes (like amiibo, Skylanders, etc.)

### 2.0.1 — 2025-01-20

A big 2.0 update for your CLZ Scanner app, with lots of changes and improvements:
* Faster barcode scanning
* Reads barcodes in entire camera screen
* New on-screen feedback shows where it "sees" a barcode
* For books: now also "reads" actual ISBN numbers using OCR !
* For comics: now does quick Core check to find out whether it should expect a barcode extension. Which eliminates the need for the AUTO/EXT, so that is now gone.
* New app icon to fit the new CLZ branding and style

### 1.1.1 — 2024-04-17

* Faster barcode scanning:

For this update, we have improved the camera barcode scanner, to make better use of the power of today’s devices, both in terms of camera resolution and computing power.

The scanning should now be faster, that is, it should be quicker in picking up the barcode from the camera image. The difference is most noticeable when scanning the longer 12+2 and 12+5 digit barcode found on today's comic books.

### 1.0.1 — 2023-03-23

Fixed a rare bug in de barcode queue syncing

### 1.0.0 — 2023-02-16

No release notes.
