type | product sense
Download a new app from the App Store. OR sign up for Mobbin ($15 per quarter) and pick a product they have done the research on and walk through the user experience—document 3 things you found interesting or annoying.
why | design sensibilities
Elevate your product sense by evaluating products regularly. Looking at a product you don’t own, but for a problem space you are considering, is the best approach.
hint | why mobbin?
Mobbin lets you build a daily habit with little efffort. Instead of doom scrolling for 5 minutes when you need a break, login to Mobbin and pick a user funnel to evaluate. Or just look at the highlighted product in their 2x weekly newsletter.
And it is gold for quick product research and following design trends. I love the fact that they have mapped entire funnels.
You could pick a series of products and compare funnels to identify the best-in-class. It is great for benchmarking if you have a new product idea or are doing research before a job interview for a product management job. They capture experiences you may have forgotten about.
