Good Idea, Poor Execution
I love CCL, and have been a member for years now. Even so, this app is a substantial pain due to its excessive crashes. Better off logging onto the website or using the full-program.
Good in theory, but major issues
Having used the Comic Collector Live website to track my comics wish list, I was excited to discover they had an app, which I hoped would make adding issues on-the-fly a bit easier. And it does—the interface is greatly streamlined, making it much easier to skim through a series and select those issues you need. But, there are a few major issues.
First, the app is lacking a huge element of the website: the storefront. Now, I understand that CCL likely decided to leave purchasing out so as not to have to pay Apple the 30% commission, but the app would be much improved if you could at least browse what stores have the issues you are looking for or even adds hints to a cart for checkout later through the website. As it is, it tells you that x stores are selling it from y dollars, but you don't know anything about grades, location, etc., until you go to the website, and then I've often found there are far fewer issues and they can start at a much higher price.
Second, the app is extraordinarily glitchy and prone to crashes. I just spent about ten minutes trying to add as many issues to my wish list, only for the app to crash about twenty times. I was never able to add the last issue, as it kept crashing before I could select it. The crashes are made worse by the fact that the app doesn't remember recent searches, so every time I went back in, I had to type in my search again, then wade down through the first fifty back issues to get to the one I wanted.
Finally, while most people might be using this app on their iPhones, I personally use it on an iPad mini. An iPad interface—including perhaps local storage of your wish list when you're away from wifi—would be fantastic additions.
Were e glitches fixed and better searching implemented, the app would be a solid four stars. If some access to the storefront data (if not sales themselves) and an iPad interface were added, it would easily be five stars.

Fooled
I misunderstood what this app did. I thought I could make a list of what I have. This came up with other collecting and tracking apps. My fault for not understanding I guess.
Half an app
While the wish list is good I really want to be able to see my collected list as well.
