I got the Comics Price Guide (CPG) Android application and see I can scan covers to add to collection. Is that just to add them, or you want to use scans? Mine won't be good: all in bags or a few encased (so you'd get some glare/reflection). Can I use it to just add? Wouldn't barcode be easier for comics in last 30 to 35 years?

The Android app scan is to add them to your collection. It's not to add your scan to our database.

A barcode is much more basic than scanning the entire cover with image and character recognition. The accuracy rate for scans that don't have a glare is extremely high. Plus, barcodes are often repeated on dissimilar books.
