CLZ Barry - Barcode Scanner for Negative User Reviews

✓ Well if you complain about one star reviews in your emailsI'll give you a 1* review to justify your whinging by the way what genius decided it was a good idea to put buttons under the operator bar?.ManicMynaVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Difficult to set upFar too difficult to set up. You need to create and account in the app, then on the website and then Download something called CLZ Barry as the camera in the app on ios11 did not work. That download did not connect. Ended up wasting 2 hours trying to get it to work. No online help or videos. Videos all assume connection between CLZ Barry and CLZ Movies and CLS Books were successful. :-(..Kieran007Version: 2.0.7

✓ Does the job, despite clunky user interfaceThe bar code scanner works great on my iPad Air, even through comic bags. It works best with comic nearly vertical (to reduce glare & shadow from overhead light), and iPad in portrait orientation. The user interface is awkward. The buttons are small, nondescript, and leave far too much useless screen. The notes with arrows on the home page is nice, until a full list covers them. Most notable is the select button and back button (cancel) on opposite corners. Exiting the scan mode and entering the list to select items is clunky. Uploading barcodes to the desktop via Buddy works great. It's fast and fairly easy to do. I've already catalogued over 2000 comics and 100s of books..Redrob41Version: 1.1.1

✓ BarryWay too hard to sync.DanxxxxxVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Crashes on Iphone 4App crashes everytime I scan a barcode on my iphone 4?.JMCQ1Version: 1.0.2

✓ Not Very AutomaticIn terms of using this app to enter data in the CLZ Book Collector app, about all this version (1.0.2) CLZ Barry does is to electronically send the pertinent ISBN to the Book Collector app - so long as the Book Collector app is: already open; Barry and Buddy are connected; and the Add Books box is open. Even then, you must still Add To the Queue, and have the app do its "search", before a book can be added to the Book Collector database. This adds up to a pretty ponderous routine, when, instead, you can simply type the book title, or the ISBN from the book cover, directly into the Book Collector's Add Books box, have the app do its "search", and click the Add button to add the book to the Book Collector database. Frankly, I find CLZ Barry, in its 1.0.2 version (which I downloaded) to be little more than a gee-whiz electronic gizmo - instead of an improved means to enter a book into the Book Collector database. In the literature for this app, I read that the developers have something in the works to make the process from book to database more automatic. Let's hope so - and the sooner the better..80 SomethingVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Ok but slowApp 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? I'm 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 won't if the scanner is too slow.AMLMNVersion: 1.0.2

✓ AvoidNor worth the money, half the CDs aren't even in the database. Waste of time.RobL74Version: 1.1.4

✓ Update has problemsFirst, they need to update the online manual to match the features of the new version. I was having problems getting version 1.1 to work, and the manual was ZERO help. Second, version 1.1 doesn't work as well with my ipad 2 as the old version did...it takes forever to recognize and scan most bar codes, and some of them will not scan at all. The length of time it takes to scan a barcode is often so long that it actually faster to enter the number manually. I was happy with the old version of this software. I am far less than happy with the current version..MrsaxdeVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Wireless scanner!!!Find this concept good but this program does not like the iPhone 4S and is difficult to sync with Music Collector (not like in the video) - still needs some work to iron out the bugs to make it work better - portability makes it easy for Buddy but that's all.MijkolVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Too hardJul 2018 This app and the PC sw are almost unusable—no, it is unusable. The directions are extremely vague—no mention of a paid version until the “free trial”. Website continually loops back to login. A full set of setup screens might help, but I’m moving on to something less complicated—and free..Larrym50Version: 2.0.7

✓ Barcode scammerBrutal app, worked 1 in 30 so far, tomorrow I'm gonna buy a hand held barcode scanner one that works. Good idea, just doesn't work like its supposed to. I want my 7.99 back!!!.Soota7Version: 1.0.2

✓ Does'nt scan comics yetHold off if you're purchasing app to scan comics. I have an ipod 4 gen and the app will not scan comic barcodes UPC+5. They've told me they're working on it. Other than that it's a great app and scans normal barcodes instantly, and does everything thet say it does.:).Gl3762Version: 1.0.2

✓ Just an other scamSince I've 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, it's 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!.SeeduckVersion: 1.0.4

✓ So slow and hard to use its practically uselessThis might be the worst app yet that I've downloaded. I'd have said it was completely useless but just when the frustration of using it had me about ready to chuck my iPhone or iPad2 (I've 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. I'm not even making it hard for the app - I'm 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!.ExrayVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Too expensive, doesn't sort alphabeticallyTry to find a free app that does the same stuff, this app doesn't sort games and movies alphabetically and costs too much, disappointed..Analblast420Version: 2.0.7

✓ Doesn't workThe instructions are not adequate for non technical people , they assume prior knowledge and I cannot recommend and would like a refund ..SuikiboyVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Meh.I use Barry in conjunction with the CLZ Book Collector software. After scanning in over 1000 books, I can legitimately say it was much more of a hassle than just entering the books manually into the CLZ Book Collector software using ISBNs. Inaccurate returns when scanning book barcodes are anywhere from 10-20% (I scanned them in batches of 20 or so). This is regardless of whether you use batch mode or scan them individually directly into the Collector software. Equally as frustrating is that the Barry PC program is constantly disconnecting from the server. It is very frustrating to scan in 20 books and then look at your PC and see that nothing is there because Barry disconnected before you started. Also, no way to manually enter barcodes or ISBNs for books without a barcode, so if you are across the room from your PC you still have to bring books with no barcode physically over to the PC. I can see that this app has potential, and I understand that this is only the first release, but for 7.99 you might want to wait for a less buggy version that works better..JProffVersion: 1.0.1

✓ No goodConnected to server wait time.P halaniVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Needs moreThis is a great concept. I do feel thought that when you scan the movie it should be able to put it directly into your collection. Not have to put it in to a document first. Need to sort this out. I love the program on my MAC but i think this is one enhancement it really needs. Keep up the good work though guys and girls. Thanks.KeenpieVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Poor interfaceScanned 20 comics as a trial. Only one was detected to be a comic (and the wrong title/issue), while the rest were read as dvds. Different issues of same title were detected as same issue. None synced to web database..Truce57Version: 2.0.7

✓ Overpriced and ineffectiveAs a scanner it's very poor, rarely picking up a barcode. As a user experience it's even worse. Why I need to enter an email address to connect to the buddy application is beyond me. It also constantly loses connection with the buddy application, requiring yet more steps to get the barcodes that might have scanned into the collectors program. Id suggest avoiding this and getting a real barcode reader.TrpleGVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Does not work with iOS 8Please update your app, it crashes in iOS 8.Dean Van De WalleVersion: 1.1.1
