It's time for our final #UX review (for now, at least)! 📱🛒 Today, we're exploring the PAYBACK app – a leading multi-partner loyalty platform where users can collect points, access exclusive offers, and earn rewards. Despite their strong presence in the #loyalty app market, there are still some strategic enhancements that could elevate #Payback even further. Discover them below. Our Senior UX/UI Designer, Matea, shares her thoughts. ⬇️ #uxreview #loyaltyapp #appreview #cobeisfresh

It's #AppReview Monday! 📲 If you're from Germany, you've probably come across ARD Mediathek, a streaming platform from one of Germany's largest public broadcasters. It offers live TV, on-demand content, and a user-friendly interface for a versatile streaming experience. However, with the latest mobile #app update, some users have been facing performance issues. That's where our Senior UX/UI Designer, Amra, steps in. She took a deep dive into the app, and here's what she discovered. ⤵️ #uxreview #ardmediathek #cobeisfresh 

Die wenigsten deutschen Webshops sind #barrierefrei. Warum sind wir hier nicht schon längst weiter? 🤷 Aktion Mensch e.V. hat mit BITV-Consult, Google, PIA UDG und der Stiftung Pfennigparade diese Woche den zweiten Testbericht zur Barrierefreiheit von Online-Shops in Deutschland veröffentlicht. Das Ergebnis: Es gibt Baustellen. Allein bei der Tastaturbedienbarkeit fallen vier von fünf getesteten Shops durch. Schon letztes Jahr habe ich mit Josefine Kramer für den t3n Magazin-Interview-Podcast zu dem Thema gesprochen. Wir waren uns einig: Viele Anbieter übersehen, dass Barrierefreiheit vor allem bedeutet, dass eine App für ALLE einfacher zugänglich und damit #benutzerfreundlicher wird. Der Testbericht zeigt das mit schönen Zahlen: ❗Für 10 Prozent aller Deutschen ist Barrierefreiheit unerlässlich, um das Internet nutzen zu können. ❗Für 30 Prozent ist sie notwendig, um Angebote im Netz gleichberechtigt nutzen zu können – wegen Sehschwächen und motorischer Einschränkungen, aber auch wegen Sprachbarrieren. ❗Für 100 Prozent aller Nutzer:innen ist Barrierefreiheit hilfreich. Sie sorgt in den meisten Fällen für leichte und intuitive Bedienbarkeit, bessere Lesbarkeit – beispielsweise bei schlechtem Licht – und bessere Verständlichkeit über alle Bevölkerungsgruppen hinweg. Wer mit digitalen Produkten Umsatz macht, ist gut beraten, Barrierefreiheit sicherzustellen – und so nicht nur für #Inklusion, sondern auch für eine deutlich erweiterte Kundenbasis zu sorgen. Was sind eure Lieblingsbeispiele für Best/Worst Cases von barrierefreien Websites?

We're back from #K5 — what an inspiring experience! ✨ The conference was a perfect blend of innovative tech talks, global networking, and retail industry insights. From AI in commerce to new opportunities in conversational commerce and personalized customer loyalty, there was so much to take in. The best part?

Ever tried buying concert or football tickets right when they go on sale? Then you've probably run into the 500 error code at least once in your life. The good news is that there's a solution — meet #loadtesting! Unlike #manual or #automated testing, which usually shows how the app works for a single user only, load testing checks how it performs under heavy user activity and different conditions. Discover how to get started with load testing, using #JMeter 👉 bit.ly/loadtesting-cobe. Our #QualityAssurance Engineer, Amela, shares her experience.
