What's new in CLZ Music Mobile?

Fixed for iOS:

• The scroll position in the list could be wrong after searching in own collection and tapping a result from the suggestions
• Images view: Pinch to zoom in images view was broken
• Edit screen: tapping “next” or “previous” on the Links tab would crash the app

Fixed for Android:

• Statistics: The “Listened” statistics showed information over all collections instead of the active collection
• Scrolling lists / tapping buttons / selecting items in a list / removing items could suddenly stop working
• Covers stayed zoomed in if you navigated out of an item and into another
• Edit screen: Taking a picture for your cover could sometimes remove all other information from that item
• Selecting: Tapping “Select All” in didn’t show items being selected in images view

Fixed:

• A crash could occur in the Add screen

This one is for the Android users!

Our Android developer Pim was working on the app’s main screen and he saw some opportunities for improvement. Mainly to reduce slowness and stuttery behaviour when navigating back and forth between the folder list, the album list and album details page.
So instead of starting on the next new feature, we gave him a few days to refactor the code and improve existing functionality.

The result of Pim’s work is live now, in version 10.2.2 of the CLZ Music app.
We have been testing the new update quite a bit and we think it feels a lot snappier and smoother, especially noticeable on larger collections.

We hope you will notice the improvements too and that it will make you enjoy the app even more!

Fixed:

• A couple of navigation issues
• Albums could show up as doubles in certain situations

How to update your app to the new version:

1. On your device, open the Play Store app.
2. Search for “CLZ” and select the CLZ Music app.
3. Tap “Update” to update the app.

Adding albums by scanning barcodes is one of the most popular features of the CLZ Music app. Just scan barcodes, bleep, bleep, bleep, and the scanned albums are added to a “queue”. Then use the Add button at the bottom to add all queued albums to your database in one go. Quick and efficient.

However, we always like to keep improving the app, or at least give users multiple options. So today we have added a new “One-by-One” mode to the Add by Barcode screen, that is, without a queue.

Fixed:

• Details: The data at the bottom could be hidden behind the navigation buttons
• Add Albums: “in collection” highlight wasn’t working correctly
• Statistics: Most Listened To: Show All didn’t show anything
• Tablet: When using folders, the app would sometimes wrongly select the top database entry in the list
• Edit screen: For some fields the keyboard would appear over them
• Listened date folders didn’t sort correctly

You may have already read about this when we introduced the eBay links in the CLZ Music Web software, but… today we are introducing the same feature in the CLZ Music mobile app:
the app now includes automatically generated eBay search links, that let you find eBay listings for that particular album.

These eBay links can be useful to:

• easily get a feel for an album’s value, by finding its’ Completed/Sold listings on eBay.
• easily find available copies on eBay (e.g. for your wish list items)

Adding albums by scanning barcodes is THE most important feature of the app, so we will never stop trying to make the barcode scanner better and better 🙂

In today’s 9.5 update, we bring three improvements to the barcode scanner:

1. Now reads barcodes much faster and in the entire camera screen!
2. New scanning feedback shows where it “sees” a barcode
3. New Type Barcode tab for manual barcode entry and support for external USB/BT scanners

Big changes this week, as we have changed our company name!

• a new company logo and styling
• a completely new website at clz.com (previously www.collectorz.com)
