About Macy’s App Redesign Primary Function: Mobil Akaf-Applikatioun

Macy's App ass eng mobil Akaf-Applikatioun, déi 2019 fir Android- an iOS-Geräter nei gestalt gouf. D'Applikatioun erméiglecht et de Clienten, Moud-, Schéinheets- an Haiproduiten iwwer e Smartphone oder Tablet ze duerchsichen an ze kafen. D'Layout ass propper an einfach, an hëlt visuell Aureguunge vu Moudmedien a Konsumenten-Technologieprodukter. Kamerabaséiert Tools ënnerstëtzen d'Scannen an d'Bezuelen, an d'Fonktiounen vun der augmentéierter Realitéit erlaben et de Clienten, d'Produiten virum Akaf ze kucken. D'Neigestaltung baséiert op enger extensiver Benotzerfuerschung an op Client-Feedback, an d'Benotzerengagement ass no der Lancéierung eropgaang.
