When we originally worked on the app we were thinking that the app would be best for conventions. You can quickly look at your want list or your collection or the price guide and make a purchase decision. If you wanted a bigger picture you could look at the site for sales, forums, price changes, etc.]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2020 15:56:58 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=13714 Message from BasementComics Mon, 23 Mar 2020 15:26:30 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=13714 Message from Ronbatman

The app still crashes when I click on the Collection button on my android Galaxy S10, even with the new update. I tried it on my wife's phone and it crashes on her's, too. Is anyone else having this issue.

The app is currently free and you've mentioned the best feature, the bar code scanner. It's nice when you don't have to type in the title of a book and then search for the issue. You will soon be addicted to it.
Ron

I am on it! tried to use the bar code scanner on Whitman comics from late 70s / early 80s - Those are a bit challenging as some had bar codes and some did not. Also probably not on the top of your list - not valuable or popular books.

I will have to retry on more common / newer UPC codes.

I see users can now add UPC codes - just like you can other issue information. Good job! Looks like a feature - shout this one out!

We have the new app up and functional as 400 people have downloaded it in the last 2 days. Thank you all for paying attention!

There was a minor issue with very large phones that we've already got a fix sent to Google and Apple. It might be Tuesday since most of them are off work for Christmas/New Years. If the ads are blocking your search bar that will be fixed when they approve our newest fix.

If you have any issues please don't leave low feedback, please talk to me. I will help you! I promise! We would love to have 5-star reviews for this improvement.

Finally, if a UPC isn't entered, you can enter it and it will immediately work. This is a temporary thing that skips our normal approval process but we want to really speed things up for you.

Ron

I find your web page works so well on my phone I am reluctant to try the app I guess this is both good news and bad news for your. I will have to try again if you have the barcode reader up and running - this would save me time in adding comics - I assume I would still have to go in, but in a new "virtual" box" (and enter grade, sale price, etc. Thanks - keep up the good work both on the web and the app.

Any "trail" time for the app or do you have to purchase?

Thanks

Once you get the scanner there are several things to do with it - but perhaps that is too long range.]]> Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:57:18 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=13714 Message from Ronbatman We have submitted the revisions for the app to the Apple Store and Google Play. We are waiting for their approvals and/or issues with the app. If there are problems we could be delayed a few days.

When the app is approved, if you find a book that has a UPC code but it's not in our system, please add the UPC. This will help everyone looking for the book and you can scan the book right after entering the code. I've tried it and after entering the code the scanner immediately recognizes it. (which is very cool) If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

7 is from the UPC guidelines
59606 is the code for Marvel on current books
08936 is the code for Amazing Spiderman
9 is the check digit
024 is the issue number
1 is the cover number
1 is the print number

Easy enough formula now but there are so many books that need UPC's added. One of our members wrote a nice article on this topic on his blog. https://thejimfurey.com/2018/06/29/anatomy-of-the-modern-comic-book-barcode/

Except on Walmart variants and some books that have more than 10 variant covers. Also there is one publisher out there that doesn't use that formula. ICR which publisher it is. Also there will be some confusion with the hidden secret Marvel variants that will have the same UPC but different covers.]]> Fri, 06 Dec 2019 18:44:52 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=13714 Message from Ronbatman
This might help anyone who is interested in understanding the UPC number better.

A modern Spiderman comic has this number
75960608936902411 - The last 5 digits are what most collectors focus in on since 024 is the issue number, 1st Cover, 1st printing
75960608936902511 - Is the next issue

7 is from the UPC guidelines
59606 is the code for Marvel on current books
08936 is the code for Amazing Spiderman
9 is the check digit
024 is the issue number
1 is the cover number
1 is the print number

Eaglewolf,
First post, welcome! We are beta testing the bar code scanner right now. Maybe I'll make a video for our Instagram for people to see it while in testing. Both of the things you mention will be on the revision.

We need everyone's help to add in the UPC numbers. I just added in all the UPC's for Batman volume 1. We've opened it up for all members to be able to add UPC numbers. Any help would be great.

Dylman,
I see what you're talking about. Let me look into this.

Thank you!
That would be amazing! I don't mind helping you beta test if you need more hands and eyes on it.]]> Thu, 05 Dec 2019 13:17:45 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=13714 Message from Dylman

2. and when you do a search to be able to just type "Spider-Man 300" and then only show all the spider man 300's

I did some troubleshooting and discovered the apparent cause. I have scans of all my books uploaded to your site, when I deleted them, the cover scans appeared in the app. I re-uploaded my scans and they now show up in the app.

Ok, that makes sense. Glad you were able to figure it out.

Potential causes -
Some work IT departments block entertainment websites. I spoke with someone this week who said all images on the main site display at home but not at work. They want you working.
If this happened late on Sunday or very early Monday morning then it might be related to our regularly scheduled image backup system.

If you continue to have an issue please contact me and I'll try to help.

Does anyone else experience comic book covers randomly not showing up in the app?

Does it say "missing scan" or is it just blank?
Can you give a specific example? That would help us figure out whether the issue is on our side or on your side.

How would you like the search to be different? Different people have different ideas about what makes a search good.

We want to improve the app and hopefully get more 5 star reviews. Here are our initial plans

1. Add a Barcode scanner
2. Improve the search function
3. Add better functionality to the login, like a password reset
4. Push notifications about value changes (1 per week so that it doesn't overwhelm users with too many notifications)

These were the primary complaints about our app, so we want to add these features/functions. This will cost us money and time so I'd like to ask for a minor and easy favor.

If you use and love our app, please leave a 5-star review for us. That's it.

If you hate our app, please contact me and let's talk.
