Pros and cons of CLZ Barry - Barcode Scanner app for iPhone and iPad

CLZ Barry - Barcode Scanner app good for

Clzs Barry app works seamless with my movie collector. Kudos to Clz for there programs. I cant imagine what they will do next

Ive been a loyal registered user of the Movie collector software. For a number of years Ive only been entering my new movies as I got them... but all those 1000+ movies I had before starting to use Collectorz Movie collector software never got entered (simply because of the volume of work itd be to do it manually). This has made entering them in the database a snap! Be sure to review their documentation (links can be found through their most helpful forum) before you start to use it. Once you have it set up along with the little Barry app on your PC, scanning is a breeze. Havent run into any problems with the app today. GREAT job, certainly worth the $7.99 investment. A+++ app! Great job and superb value.

No complaints. Would love to see OCR support for ISBN numbers that dont come with a bar code. Lets just say I have an old collection to catalogue

Despite what other reviews complain about I have no issues with this app at all. Scans many comics in seconds and quickly transfers info to the database. What used to take 5-10 minutes to add just a couple comics now takes 5-10 seconds. I will say it took a few minutes to figure out how the app and the database work together but take the time to read the instructions and the problems disappear.

This is a fantastic easy to use app. No matter your level of computer skill anyone can use and enjoy this tool.

Awesome program. I suggest to anyone using collectorz movie database to get buddy for Barry. Its worth it

Some bad moments

This might be the worst app yet that Ive downloaded. Id have said it was completely useless but just when the frustration of using it had me about ready to chuck my iPhone or iPad2 (Ive tried it on both) through the window it unexpectedly notices and scans a barcode. When it does, it quickly looks up and identifies the book but who wants to spend 20 - 30 minutes trying to find just the right angle and lighting to get it to scan. Im not even making it hard for the app - Im testing it on nice big clear barcodes on the back of good condition books. At $8 this is an "expensive" iPhone app (okay, they are all pretty cheap but relative to others its expensive) which just adds insult to injury. Not impressed!

App works well with Collector program but it is VERY slow to detect barcode. I note that someone has had same problem but not everybody - is this related to platform? Im using my iPod. Other barcode apps e.g. Pict2shop works much faster - finds barcode easily. Please fix this bug as I am keen to buy CZ databases but wont if the scanner is too slow

Brutal app, worked 1 in 30 so far, tomorrow Im gonna buy a hand held barcode scanner one that works. Good idea, just doesnt work like its supposed to. I want my 7.99 back!!!

Since Ive purchased this app and all the related app from this developer it has never worked properly, always an other update, always un other program to purchase and then surprise it still not work as it is supposed. I have contacted the customer support and they manage to blame it all on me, its again the same explanation "you do not have the right version and should purchase this one" After all the money and time I have wasted on this I have erased it form my device. It does not work!

The app works great but force you to have an CLZ account, and you cannot send scanned bar codes if youre not connected to Internet, thats pity and limit the app too much

I was left no choice but to buy this app. I had an USB hand scanner that worked great with the previous version of CLZ software I own. Yes, this app works but it should have been free. There is a name for this, rip off.
