Three game organizer solutions - what's the difference?
1. CLZ Games: mobile app for iOS and Android:
CLZ Games is our mobile game organizer app, for our iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet. It stores your data and images on your device, so that you can always access your game list, even when offline.
It comes with a built-in barcode scanner, for adding games to the mobile app's database, by scanning their barcodes.
CLZ Games can be used as a fully-stand-alone game cataloging app, or as a mobile companion to the Game Connect or Game Collector software on your big screen desktop computer (the data syncing between them through our CLZ Cloud system).
2. Game Connect: web-application, for any online computer or mobile device
Game Connect is web-based software, running on our servers, with your game database stored in our CLZ Cloud system. To use the software, just go to the Connect website with your internet browser and login.
Game Connect is designed to be a lightweight cataloging tool, that is easy to use and easy to manage.
It is the better choice for users who :
- just need a simple way to keep track of their game collection and wish list
- prefer not having to deal with files, folders, backups, firewalls, software updates, etc...
3. Game Collector: downloadable software for Windows
Game Collector is downloadable desktop software, that you install and run on your own computer, with your data and images stored locally, on your own hard-drive.
Game Collector is our most advanced game database solution, aimed at users who:
- are advanced computer users, comfortable with installing and updating software, dealing with folders, files, backups, firewall exceptions etc...
- need the most flexible cataloging solution, that can be fully customized in terms of fields, views and layouts.
Having problems deciding which one is best for you?
For most users, we recommend a combination of Game Connect on the desktop side and CLZ Games on the mobile side.
TIP: We offer a nice bundle discount for getting those two together.
