Unsere Kundenbindung konnten wir durch das zeitgemäße Anbieten unserer wöchentlichen Amts- und Mitteilungsblätter in der App steigern. Die Einfachheit der Bedienung fügt sich sehr gut in die vorhandenen Arbeitsprozesse ein. Ohne wesentlichen Mehraufwand können wir mehr Service bieten.
Pros
Sehr einfache wöchentliche Veröffentlichung unserer Publikationen durch einfachen Upload auf einen FTP Server. Der kompfortable Lesemodus in der App wird als Hauptfeature wahrgenommen.
Das schnelle und benutzerfreundliche Entitlement zur einfachen Verwaltung unserer Leser:innen ist ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt.
Durch die problemlose Erstellungsmöglichkeit von Gutscheincodes können schnell und auch kurzfristig Werbeaktionen auf den Weg gebracht werden.
Cons
Die nötigen Kennisse zur Veröffentlichung in den App Stores, sowie die Häufigkeit der Updates auf Grund von Änderungen der App Stores haben wir unterschätzt.
Wir werden hier aber von SPRYLAB gut unterstützt.

The support is really good and they always find the best solution for our needs as the tool has a lot of opportunities and potential.
We like the product and the people we work with! :)
Pros
Very intuitive and logical structure of the backend.
Easy FTP upload of the pdfs.
A very nice app design focused on the user experience.
A lot of flexibility in the app design as you also can integrate html snippets.
Useful features which are easy to handle like the coupon feature.
Cons
When you make an app update you have a lot of options regarding colour configuration, that needs a lot of time and attention, but this is of course also an advantage.
To have a small knowledge of html is very useful to use the advanced features.
I´m missing the jpg/png upload function for in app banners. At the moment you have to use the purple composer for in app banners and this tool is just working with iOS.
