Carel Pedre Brings a Clean New Look to Chokarella iOS App

By Kenold Beauplan on March 28, 2014 in Tech

Chokarella was recently updated to version 6.0 which gives the application’s user interface a new face-lift, adding functionality to buy music track from iTunes while listening to the live stream.

Fans will surely enjoy the minor enhancements, but we hope Carel will refresh the app’s aesthetics to bring it up to date with the iOS 7 flat design look. Over all, we love the slick design and the ability to buy track from iTunes.

So far we’ve only seen the update arrive for iOs version of the app, but we’d imagine that Android users will see a refreshed interface soon, as the two are generally updated at the same time. Continue Reading →

The new MimisBoutiq.com is packed with a number of new enhancements that should allow you to spend more time enjoying the shopping experience on both desktop and mobile devices. Overall, the site feels more usable than before.

One of the best features in the new redesign is that the website is now using HTML5 instead of Adobe Flash – which makes it mobile friendly. Before the update, iPhone and iPad users couldn’t access the website because Apple devices do not support Flash. Kudos to Mimi and the CCWC Network team for fixing this. Continue Reading →
