There we go, the first CLZ Newsletter for 2026. This is CLZ Alwin.

We’re off to a good start, with several smaller updates for the CLZ mobile apps: a cosmetic upgrade for CLZ Comics, aimed at slab collectors, an often requested (read: demanded) new setting for CLZ Books and 5 performance improving updates for all 5 Android apps.

Next to that, most of the team is working on 2 big project that will hopefull reach launch before the next newsletter: Our mobile deveopers Pim and Bernard are implementing all the recently introduced new book fields to the CLZ Books mobile app, including the reading history. More details below.
Then, there is the BIG ONE, the introduction of Custom Fields (aka User Defined Fields) in the CLZ Web software. Read on below for the first Sneak Preview screenshots!

New update for all CLZ mobile apps:
Automatic eBay search links

You may have already read about this when we introduced the eBay links in the CLZ Web software, but… today we are introducing the same feature in all CLZ mobile apps:
The apps now includes automatically generated eBay search links, that let you find eBay listings for your items:

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)

It’s August 30, so here’s the CLZ Newsletter for August 2025.

We started the month with the promised update for the CLZ Comics mobile app, in which we take the most popular feature, Adding Comics by Scanning Covers, to the next level.

For the rest of the month, most of the dev team (Pim, Bernard, Michiel and AJ) have been working on the upcoming updates for CLZ Movies, both mobile and web. It started out as a relatively small update in which we would add some new fields (just like we did for the books and music apps recently). However, the update has grown into a huge major upgrade, with several big new features that have been on our “to do” list for many years.
It will bring: editable episode lists, add your own youtube trailers, a full watch history with multiple watch dates, and more! Check out the Sneak Preview below (with screenshots!).

Finally, lead developer Sven is preparing for the biggest CLZ Web project in recent years. Something users have been requesting for ages. But also a project we have been procrastinating for ages too, if only for the size and complexity. But it is finally going to happen this year. I can’t tell you what it is yet, but if you have been with us for a while, you can probably guess what it is :-).

The topics today:
* CLZ Comics 10.3 (mobile): Easier and faster Adding by Cover!
* Sneak Preview: CLZ Movies updates (web and mobile) with many new fields
