It is live, a major v9.0 upgrade for our CLZ Comics app. Looking at our history of app updates, I can safely say that this is our biggest update ever! Lots of new features and improvements, all in one go.

There is something for everyone: a big new tool for CovrPrice subscribers, new features for users with multiple collections and finally, something that all users will love and use every day: two new ways to quickly find a specific issue in your app.

Here’s what new in v9:

• New comic value features for CovrPrice subscribers:
  • New Check Value screen: look up a CovrPrice value for a comic, without having to add it to your app!
  • Value totals at the top of each issue list: see values per Series, or per Storage Box, per Publisher, etc…
• New features for users with multiple collections:
  • Collection tabs: easily switch between collections using tabs at the bottom of the screen
  • Improved Manage Collections screen
• Two new tools for quickly finding a specific issue:
  • Issue Search: use the search box top right to search for a specific issue, e.g. “amazing 362”
  • Jump to Issue button (aka, the “sniper” button”): tap, enter issue number, bam you’re there.
• Other:
