### 1/5 — schlicht übel!!

*2024-11-21, version 16.4.18*

Diese App ist eine Zumutung. Der Login ist nur schwer zu finden, was äußerst unbenutzerfreundlich ist. Zudem werden die Login-Daten nicht gespeichert, was den Komfort erheblich mindert. Die ausschließliche Hochkant-Ansicht ist absolut nicht zeitgemäß. Schon bei ihrer Veröffentlichung war die App alles andere als überzeugend.

### 1/5 — Handverlesene Ausgaben aus dem Kiosk nur kaufbar

*2023-01-08, version 16.4.14*

Leider können nur sehr wenige Ausgaben im integrierten Shop erworben werden, obwohl alle Ausgaben angeboten werden. Leider wohl technisch eine katastrophale App. Tut sich auch nach Jahren nix dran. Schade.

### 2/5 — Nicht mehr zeitgemäß

*2020-07-02, version 16.4.13*

Die Bauwelt App ist zwar sauber und strukturiert, aber aus technischer Sicht eine Katastrophe. Überhaupt keine Anpassung an das aktuelle iOS. Und auch die Bedienung des lesemodus lässt zu wünschen übrig. Definitiv ein grundlegende Überarbeitung der App notwendig. Anders Apps machen das deutlich besser.

### 5/5 — Ansprechend, interessant

*2017-06-26, version 16.4.6*

Übersichtlich und zugänglich.

### 5/5 — Bauwelt digital

*2015-01-07, version 4.1.34*

Endlich - die Bauwelt auf dem ipad!
