how to enter barcode via iPhone

[patricia Bowyer]

Hello- I just bought Comicbase Professional today, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I thought the website said I could enter new comic books via barcode photo from my iPhone.

I cannot see anyway to do this, can someone tell me if this is true, or must I also purchase a bar code scanner?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Pat --

To enter comics via barcode using your phone, you need to download the ComicBase mobile app (which is free) from the Apple store.  Have you done that?

Before you enter comics using the app, make sure you also link your database to the app... to do this, launch ComicBase on your computer, go the File Menu>Collection Statistics - this shows your current collection value AND on the backend links your db to the mobile app.

After you do some scanning through the mobile app, hop on your computer and launch ComicBase. Go the Internet Menu>Check for New Sales and Purchases - this will sync what you added through the app into your database on the computer.

Thanks also to G.Hecht. No, I hadn't added the mobile app, will do so now. Best, ~P
