Awesome product

"I just wanted to thank you guys for this awesome product.
I have been using it for about a year, but yesterday it really paid for its self. Yesterday was comic-con here in Spokane and loved having my needed list not only available on my android phone but i loved how easy it was to print out the list when I needed it.
Thank you guys keep up the hard work!"

Thank You

"I just wanted to drop you a line and say Thank you. I am so impressed with the software. I have 25,000 comics in my collection (dating as far back as 1933), and have only had to search for a few covers to date.

Earlier to I restored the settings on my computer (or so I thought) and ended up loosing not only all of my recent emails but a few other pieces of software.

I can not express enough how impressed I was with your service when it came to retrieving my lost key codes. It took less then a minute .... and now I am back up and running.

Keep up the great work !
Great service and reliability are a rare commodity these days."

Just saying thanks

"Today was a pretty lame day for me, until I got home and went to open my Comic Collector and saw an update! I've been impatiently waiting for an update to come along for the searches and can't tell you how happy I am that y'all finally were able to get around to it.
Sadly as it may sound, this definitely made my day. Just wanted to send a message and say thanks for the work that y'all do, it really helps collecting my comics so much easier to keep up with. No problems here, just saying thanks."

"Just wanted you to know I just finished entering 5,326. comic books using your data base. It is great!!!!
It saved me so much stress on how to list the comic books so I would know what my son had collected while he was here. I have passed your site on to friends who might want to list their books etc. "

Excellent customer support

"I wanted to write you and thank you for your excellent customer support and additionally, the excellent product that Collectorz for comics is in the Mac environment.

As the 'connect' subscription is now free, I worry that I no longer have a way to support your excellent product other than through the initial purchase. Please let me know if there is some other way I can support this endeavor and as such maintain it through perpetuity.

Thanks again, a very satisfied customer."

Um...WOW

"Hi all, I just downloaded Comic Collector for my Android phone. Um...WOW.
I read the info page on your site and it sounded good there, but after I started flipping thru it on the phone...oh MAN.
I honestly don't believe how I tried to inventory my comics on my own before I bought Comic Collector.
Outstanding value for the money.
I am going to a con this weekend and I am more prepared than ever! I could spend hours just looking at the covers...and the ease of reviewing wish list items - nice!
Thanks for a great app!"

I got the iphone app and that is just GREAT. I am now up to listing over 10,000 comics and I like it more each time I use it.

In short I just love it!!"

No more duplicates

Awesome product

"Just wanted to say thanks again for all your help and the awesome product your group puts out.
I have used other "free" online databases for my comic collection, which is well over 3,000+ issues, and was not satisfied with having to put and input information only to have lack luster results. But I found your site and was hesitant at first but finally made the purchase and have not regretted it.
Your database, the features offered, and your customer service are amazing and combined with your collector app I never have to worry about buying another double issue again.
So thank you and keep up the great work."

It does what it says it does

"I shopped around before buying this program, and I'm pleased to report that it does what it says it does: it's an easy-to-use tool for cataloging your comics.
For the most part, it does a super job with superheroes (pun intended) and mainstream books. I've had to manually enter some of my more unusual comics (and a lot of my Archies/Gold Keys, etc.), but nobody can be expected to have everything. And the customer service is VERY good through their forums.
I highly recommend this program."

Thoroughly impressed

"Today I downloaded the update for Comic Collector for Mac, and I was thoroughly impressed with the fully functional program.
I synced my computer's data with my Connect data, and everything went without a hitch. Now, all 13,000+ comics are together in, well, two places.

Thanks so much!"

Best comic software out there

"Add me to the satisfied group.
I've had Comic Collector since version 2 (it's now at 5) and only had minor issues that were ALL fixed. I live in Canada and the software guys in Europe and there has never been anything but a minimal delay in responses and that's reasonable to expect given the time differences.
Best comic software out there."

I was blown away!

"So I'm sitting there entering some new Spider-man comics into my Excel 2000 spread sheet on my 1995 desk top PC when it dawned on me... I have one more reason to get a new up to date laptop and the internet at home.
2 weeks of research and $600 later i'm up and running. The first thing I Googled is comic book inventory programs; I was blown away! I am soooo in the dark ages; duh they have awesome programs out there! Yours really caught my eye, I downloaded the trial verson and KAPOW! I'm a true collector. I only have like 2,000 comics and they are all Spider-man but your program blows me away!
Thanks again guys! "

Loving the Comic software

"@collectorz I am loving the Comic software and scanner. Cannot find in the instructions how to catalog without re-reading old issues ;-)"

Well worth the $30 I paid!

"I have been looking for a good database program for my comic collection for a few years now. There were not many options for Mac, and the one that looked the most promising, was much to expensive. There was Comic Collector from Collectorz, but it was only available for Windows. When Collectorz first announced they were working on a Mac version about a year ago, I was very excited.

Finally last week, they released version 1 for Mac. After a few hiccups with build 1 and 2, build 3 has finally got things working and I have started adding my collection into my database. From what I have seen so far, it is well worth the $30 I paid! Once I have added most of my comics to my database, and had some time to play with it more, I will probably be paying the extra for the Pro edition and also getting the iPhone edition so I can take my collection with me."

Amazing software

"Having ordered the Opticon scanner to my cousin's place in US (since Collectorz doesnt ship to my country) and then asking her to hand carry the device when she visits. After 2 months she brought the cute scanner to me and i'm using the scanner along with my Comic Collector for the 1st time.
Entered a long box of 340 comics in my collectorz database in 8 mins. Amazing software and excellent scanner. Worth all the wait and the money!
Excellent work guys! Comic Collector v5 is the way to go!!"

It's a fantastic tool

"I've been using Comic Collector since 2008 because my collection was getting unmanageable.
It's a fantastic tool and the upgrades have always added new and useful tools making the functionality better. I recently upgraded to Comic Collector Pro 5.0 and again I'm impressed by the improvements. I especially like the improved statistics section.
Thanks."

The best version so far

"I've spent the last hour or so adding comics to version 5, both manually and automatically and I've gotta say I'm REALLY loving the new version.
The new layout for the Add Comic window seems to flow a lot more smoothly IMO, with the new order of various fields in more logical places.
The new Vee Five templates are great, I really appreciate their clearer, cleaner appearance. As for Add Comics Automatically, the tree list makes things a lot easier to find the issues I'm after.
This is by far the best version of Comic Collector so far."
Joe Douglas
February 18, 2011


Amazingly wonderful program

"So far I am enjoying version 5. I like the new add comics screen, it makes adding issues a lot easier when adding multiple titles with similar names.
I am also enjoying the wish list section, I need to work on it so it can be up to date on CLZ on my phone.
I just want to say Thank You to everyone at Collectorz for all your hard work on this amazingly wonderful program. This program has helped me so much with making my list and now you keep improving it with CLZ so I can always have my list with me and now the addition of scanning the bar code and Diamond Previews info.
Keep up the great work."

AMAZINGLY!

"First off, I just want to say that I recently came back from the first ever Comic-Con in New Orleans, and you're iphone app helped me AMAZINGLY!
I was able to quickly pull up the list of my comics while browsing through stacks of comics and was able to find issues I didn't have without worrying about getting extra copies. Meanwhile, I laughed as other people were writing down issues on paper and trying to figure out what they had and didn't have. I even told people about this site and how easy it is to use and your iphone app.

Keep up the great work though guys and gals. Really love your stuff and look to be upgrading my comic collector software soon. I always get excited when I get an email from you guys, because it's not too often and it's always awesome news.
Thanks again!"

Comic Collector Rocks!

"As an IT administrator and computer hobbyist, I've tested and utilized countless programs and I can say without hestitation that Comic Collector is one of the very best applications I've ever used.
It's extraordinarily powerful, customizable, and easy to use.

As a DBA I've worked with many relational databases and Comic Collector represents the very best of what a well-designed database can achieve. It is both elegant and flexible.
The online repository of comics is very comprehensible - I've found entries for every one of the 1000+ comics I've inputted thus far.
I especially like the HTML export feature - I'm able to generate web interfaces for any dataset and, if appropriate, link entries to digital comic files. For example, I can create a website for my daughter, which she can use to easily select and read her favorite comics.

Your product has greatly increased my enjoyment of a hobby that I was already very passionate about. In short, Comic Collector rocks!"

The Icing on the Cake

"I've been using Comic Collector for a few years now and think it's a terrific program.
I have over 8,000 comics/ trades/ hardcovers in my collection and it's the best way, hands down, for cataloguing a collection of that size.

I used to use a word document that I had to painstakingly update every week. With Comic Collector the inputting is so easy, and fun to do. The export to i-pod touch is just the icing on the cake.

Thanks again, you guys have put out an amazing product with the highest level of customer support."

Absolutely amazing

"Can I take the opportunity to complement you on the software.
I had previously used some rather rough homemade systems and a new computer meant I needed to look around for something else.
I have to say your software is absolutely amazing. The range of features and ease of use is such that this is probably the best piece of personal software I have used and the ability to download a huge amount of information so easily is absolutely fantastic."

Immense Time Savings

"I love Comic Collector Pro so far.
I had been using my own Access database and your product saves an immense amount of time with its pre-loaded information.
I'm in the process of entering my collection of appx. 50,000 comics into Comic Collector (about 3,000 loaded thus far). I have also bought the companion app for my iPhone, which I love!
I've been manually exporting to Excel and loading onto a PDA, but this is another immense time savings for me."

I have a sizable collection and have been looking for the right tool to catalogue it.
Not so much a fan of dry lists so being able to look at the covers and read the credits and synopsis is fantastic for me.
Well done for making such a great product at such a great price. "

Great deal of fun

"This program has been a humongous time-saver for me.
I have six children at home and it is difficult enough making time to read my comics, let alone inventory them. Collectorz.com has made the task of inventorying my books not only quick, but a great deal of fun."

Great program

"Hello to everyone at Collectorz; first off I would like to say that I really glad that a site like you exist, I'm a comic book fan and I 100% LOVE the Comic Collectors program I have running on my computer.

I get excited every time I get home with new comic books; read them, and then open the program and start adding them to the list!
You guys truly do have a great program with Comic Collector; honestly, I don't know how I've been calling myself as comic fan without it.

And I am really glad to hear that great mind think alike as far as you guys working on a Collectorz version for the Iphone. I can't wait to till it's ready!"

A must have

"I really love your product. I spent about two weeks every night entering my comics into the system.
Keep up the great work. I don't actually buy many products, I seek out free alternatives but your application was a must have."

I'm having a blast

"There was a web-site that "reviewed" three of the most popular comic collection software. They gave yours an overall 2.5 stars and Comic Base 4.5 stars.

Naturally, I downloaded the trial for the Comic Base. I used it for about 2 minutes and REMOVED the trial program from my computer. What a piece of s*~t! I guess the guy reviewing owns stock in Comic Base.

Maybe I didn't know how to use it but I approached both Comic Base and Collectorz the same; no idea how to use either and was completely impartial. Collectorz was a breeze to pick up and Comic Base could make a sober person drink themselves into debt.

Outstanding product... I'm having a blast. This is the first time in 25 years, that I can actually know (and find) what I have in my collection! I LOVE this program!"

MOST FUN!!!

"I've tried many of the more popular brands out there (demos) and feel that yours best suits my needs.

It is by far the easiest to use, and MOST FUN!!! ...which is probably the most important aspect, not just an oversimplified spreadsheet of misc. data."

First-rate

"I must say I'm very impressed with this program. Its simplicity and organization are first-rate. :)"

Completely blown away

"Your software is mind-blowing, it impressed me so much, I thought I'd take some time to compliment you on it. I have just become an avid comic book reader, and I'm absolutely loving it.

On the back cover of one of my books, I noticed an ad for a free comic book cataloging program. I thought "this would be a perfect way to keep up with my collection, especially since I'm just starting out." Well I downloaded it, and TRIED to use it. It was absolutely terrible. I couldn't figure out how to do anything, and it's main purpose was to get you to buy comics from their website.

Still intrigued by the idea of comic book managing software, I kept browsing and came across your free trial. I downloaded it, and within minutes, I was finding all of the comics I bought. I managed to buy $150 worth of comics in the first month I started collecting, and this software is genius.

I can record how much each comic was, where I purchased it, what condition it's in, and I'm completely blown away by how your website already has so much information on the books, even covers!

When my next payday arrived, I bought your software and I'll never use anything else. You guys are doing a fantastic job. "

Brilliant

"I found your site because I was looking for a comic database to sort my collection - currently around 8,700 - and ended up realising I needed the Music and Movie ones as well. I'd probably get the Books one as well but I've got so many DVDs to put in now that I've finally got round to properly starting on them, that I might not live long enough to get round to the books!!

Movie Collector has all the fields needed for Audio Adventures since they're basically films without pictures and, since I've now taken the program to the DVDs by putting that one on my laptop, is in the right place.

New Releases and Updates services are a brilliant addition which shows just how much you understand the people you're selling to. This will make it far easier to keep up to date because I don't have to take the comics to the computer or search every title individually. "

Outstanding

"This software is outstanding.
Inventorying 20 years of my son's comic book collection, 10,00's of books and growing, is so much easier and helps for insurance purposes in valuing what is there.
Thank you!"
Carolyn I.


So easy

"Just had to tell you all a huge thanks. Back in October I had a major system crash. I was able to backup the information but it never occured to me to backup the thumbnails. Well, I took a seven month break cause couldnt face the idea of doing all that input again.

Well, today I decided to get on it. Using the faq's I was up and going withing 10min.

Reason for writing this. Thank you ever so much for this software. Replacing the cover pictures has been so easy. Its taken me about 2hrs to do over 1700 books.

Just wanted to say thanks for taking care of us that dont always do the best thing with the software!"

Lawrence Lasher


This product is awesome

"Please know how much I enjoy this program.
My wife gave it to me as a Father's Day gift two years ago and I love everything about it.

This product is awesome and more people should know about it."

Christian Mock


Worth every penny!

"I couldn't be happier with this program. The deeper I dig into it, the more I discover the depth and customizable aspects of it.

Being able to see the list of all my comics, with thumbnails of the front covers is absolutely invaluable to me... then I discovered that I could export my list into HTML format! This will be a welcome edition to posting my comics on a website!

Thanks guys! This has been worth every penny!"

Philip McCrary


"Of course, it's true that I could've (and should've) cataloged my collection a long, long time, ago. But it's such a daunting task that I had a hard time getting motivated to tackle it.

Once I found Collectorz.com, I was actually ENTHUSED about entering my collection. Besides that, I actually get kinda giddy just looking at my collection catalog, now. So, for better or for worse, this really brings out the comic book geek in me. As far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing."

West


"I would like to say that I am so happy about the Comic Collectorz program I bought from you guys I can't wait to get home from work and sit and play on it for hours just organizing my comic, the software is just 100% excellent!

I showed the program and the comic I currently had on it to my brother and he was blown away, after I showed him he went to see how many comics he had off the top of his head and said thats the next purchase on his list!

P.S I have a pretty big cd collection so the music collector is next on my list! "

Tory Moody


"I just downloaded the comic book collector from download.com and all I can say is "WOW" very impressive. I plan to buy this product, its easier then the excel spread sheet I made up. All I have to do is type the name of the comic and the program does the rest! How easy is that?

Bravo Zulu, on a job, or in this case a product well done!"

Matthew Crane


"You guys are the best!

I have already entered 1900 comics and the software is awesome! By the time I am done I will have entered 6000 comic books. It's great to finally know what I have in my collection.

I am a professional comic book writer myself and have written for Marvel, D.C., Disney and more. See my Website."

Roger Brown


"This program is so awesome. I've been looking for something like this for years. Thanks for making it. I think ima buy it for myself for my birthday this week :)"
Julian


"I have really enjoyed the program. It is by far the easiest comic database to use and quickly populate - I tried four different programs before deciding on Comic Collector. It has really helped me get my collection organized. I now know what I have (and what I am missing!).

The export to i-Pod feature is incredibly useful as well, since I can take a complete list of what I have and what I am looking for in a compact format instead of a big paper binder.

I'm at about 3400 comics and still have several boxes to go, but there is no way I could have done such a precise inventory without Comic Collector. "

Ken Goach


"I'd like to say that I love your programs, I have had your comic collector program for 3 or 4 years now and it really helps me keep track of things. And the new profile download feature is amazing."
Tyler McCabe


"A good friend of mine is a comic book nut and has a huge collection. He had been using some other older db that is no longer supported - and he lost the program and all his data in a hd crash.

I immediately bought a copy of Comic Collector for him and he immediately fell in love with it and can't stop raving about it. "

Michael Bostic


"I really made my decision the time I opened the program: I'm going to buy it. It's a huge step from my excel lists to this, for a person so mad about my collection like me, I'm sure the Comic Collector it's going to make my life happier :-)

And thank you very much for your support, I think It is something very important for the success of a software product to have a Support Department so fast and efficient like yours."

Ivan Rivas


"I just wanted to say that your program is a life saver, inputing comic info automatically is such a time saver as compared to some of the old programs I have used in the past.

Thanks, a satisfied customer."

Matt Rosas


"I've already purchased Comic Collector, but I want to tell you that this newer version is AWESOME! Being able to go online and download all the data has saved me hours, no days of data entry. Thanks!"
Jeff Matsler


"I really just wanted to let you know that I love the new database lookup feature when adding new comics,You did a great job setting up the Comic lookup. Now with V. 3 I see some major progress and merely wanted to applaud you and everyone involved in Comic Collector v.3.

You did a fabulous job!!!"

Wendell Hernandez


"I just wanted to let you know that I really love the comic collector software. The new update feature is incredible and I can't wait to do my entire collection!

Doing a great job, keep it up."

Dave Gordon


"Just to let you know, Collectorz has the best program in town! I have never regretted purchasing it for my collection and I have regretted purchasing many others before.

The features are great and the new ones make it even better (especially the scanning of the comic books and the ability to transfer the data around into other progams. I am not an expert on computer programs and simplification is what I look for.

Your program is simple and easy to use."

Tyrone Sanchez


"Guys!
Just wanted to say how happy I am with the latest update for Comic Collector. Being able to scan, add, and edit my comic book covers from Comic Collector is totally AWESOME! Now I no longer have to jump from application to application to add my covers to my file.
Thanks!"
Tomas Almaraz


"I bought the comic collecter software about a year ago and still finding myself showing it off and bragging about it to ANYONE! I have always wanted software even half as good as the program you put out and when I found Comic Collectorz, I was absolutely FLOORED. Your software is THE BEST computer related purchase I have ever made (aside of actually buying the computer).

I would also like to compliment (if you will allow it :D) your super quick support / response team! If only every software firm was as caring as yours!"

Joshua L. Conley


"I really can't say enough good things about this product. I am a computer programmer and have thought about writing a simple database program for my own use.

After using the trial version of Comic Collector, I realized there was no way I could write one as complete, effecient, and easy to use as this one. It's been a huge asset in organizing my collection."

Paul Placido


"Truly the best for comics & magazines

I've tried a number of comic cataloging programs and this is the best for data entry, sorting and displaying, and searching. All fields are tallied when displayed, so you know exactly what is in your collection and in what issues. Program and data files are compact and fast. Documentation could be better, but it's easy to learn and support via email is quick.

The more you use it, the more you'll like it!"

Mark Unger


"After visiting your site and reading the messages posted there I downloaded the trial version. In less then 5 minutes I had entered 100 issues. I was very impressed with the ease of entry and the ability to add virtually all relevant information about the books that I needed.

My collection is around 15,000 books. I am very happy that I have this software to make the process of cataloging that much easier."

Jason A. Cook


"I searched for comic book software and found your website. I must say that this program is the best I've seen in terms of use and functionality. I like how many fields can be designed to suit my needs and it has a pleasing appearance."
Thomas Arnold


"Have been playing around with the program for a couple of days now and I have to say I love it... It's simple enough to learn right away and complex enough to satisfy most collectors.

You are doing a great job, keep it up, and thanks "
