CLZ Comics - comic database 9.1.2

version 9.1.2

Apr 3, 2024
Version 9.1.2
New:
* Improved barcode scanning:
Scanning comic barcodes can be tricky, especially the 12+2 and 12+5 digit ones. We've always tried to scan these as efficiently as possible. As phones have better camera's these days *and* are much faster, we've now tweaked our barcode scanning engine to make use of the extra camera resolution and device performance. This should make a big difference when adding comics by barcode!
