Bayer 04 launched the new app at the end of last year. The number of users has grown by more than 50% since the launch and the number of visits per day plus the average time spent by fans on the app have increased by more than fourfold. On matchdays there are more than 26,000 visits to the app and Werkself Radio has also experienced a boom: The Black and Red Internet radio attracts over 10,000 fans at the highest point.
One success factor is the individuality that is written large in the new Werkself digital world. Users have the opportunity to access Black and Red content according to their preferences and interests. And the function of loading tickets on the app to a virtual wallet simply using a QR code and using it to access the BayArena has also proved to be very popular.
