The founder and CEO of the bk Group uses these apps
In the “Homescreen!” series we present the homescreens of people from the social media, marketing, media and tech world – including app recommendations and tips for everything from to-do lists to small games in between. Today: Gerold Wolfarth, founder and CEO of bk Group.
For me, the smartphone is an indispensable part of my everyday life. I travel a lot for business and am always in contact with the most important people and mobile services via my smartphone.
My background image shows the day of my book premiere on the Zugspitze. It motivates me and is also just a wonderful memory.

Of course, all communication apps can be found on my home screen, such as Whatsapp (for Android) or Microsoft Teams (for Android), which we use for internal communication in my company.
However, I’ve put most of my social media apps in one folder because I don’t want to be distracted by them all the time. I prefer to actively take a certain amount of time to devote myself to social media.
Since the opening of bk World at the beginning of June 2022, the use of the bk World app has become extremely important. Because here I have insights into the sales and developments of our first lounge on Tesla Superchargers.
All vending machines and services in the lounge are connected to the app. This allows me to quickly check numbers and make adjustments. Especially in the first phase of a new location, it is important to keep an eye on everything in order to identify trends and be able to act quickly.

Smart Pizza is not a delivery service
Incidentally, Smart Pizza is not a delivery service, but the backend of our pizza machines, which we operate at bk World and throughout Germany. The machine delivers a fresh pizza to the hungry in just three minutes.
It is also essential for me The Growapp (for Android), the platform of the entrepreneurial network, of which I am the chairman. An active exchange between the members takes place here. The same goes for the application the Ökovation Ventures fund, with which we invest in sustainable start-ups. I’m also the CEO here.
Stocks, Tesla and Audiobooks
About the Trade Republic app (for Android) I always have an eye on my private equity investments. the Tesla app (for Android) is essential as I drive a Tesla myself. I need it to call up the current range of my vehicle, preheat it or book a service appointment.
I often take my racing bike with me on business trips and then stop somewhere at a rest stop. With the Komoot app (for Android) I can enter a circuit of, for example, 50 kilometers and ride my bike in completely foreign surroundings and get to know new landscapes. The app also makes it easy for me to find my car again.
The Audible app (for Android) I use when traveling. I really enjoy listening to the biographies of successful people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk and looking for topics that I can apply to myself. In addition, these biographies motivate and inspire me a lot.
