Product Taste: Explain What Keeps You Coming Back to Three Everyday Consumer Apps

Name three consumer apps you use regularly and explain why each one has earned a place in your routine. ```hint Pick for range Choose apps that serve different needs, so that together they show different reasons a product earns repeat use, and have one concrete moment ready for each. ``` ### Clarifying Questions - Does "consumer app" rule out work tools, or can one be something I use both at work and at home? - Can one of the three be this company's own app? - Should I give an even pass over all three, or a short take on each and then go deep on whichever you choose? ### What a Strong Answer Covers - Three apps with a clear user need behind each, ideally covering different kinds of need - For each, the specific design choices or qualities that keep the candidate coming back, tied to that need - Why each wins over the alternatives the candidate could use instead - An honest weakness or improvement for at least one app, with a way to measure it - A common thread across the three that shows how the candidate thinks about products ### Follow-up Questions - If you had to delete one of the three, which would go first, and what would you miss? - Pick one: what would you change as its product manager, and how would you know it worked? - Is there an app you once used every day and then dropped? What made you stop?
