#1. How would you improve iOS Reminders?

As per my understanding, iOS reminders is a pre-installed app on all iPhones and it can be used for creating & tracking multiple tasks. Once the task is done, a user can mark it as done on Reminders app and it goes away. You can also set reminders on specific tasks so that you don't miss doing it. Apart from this, i believe iOS reminders app has multiple small features like tags, recurring tasks, etc to help a user manage their professional or personal tasks.

Do we have any specific goal in mind when we talk about improvement?

Interviewer: you decide!

Alright, so I believe that acquisition on iOS wouldn't be that big of a problem since this is a pre-installed app on iphones.

Revenue is less likely to be one of the goals since reminders app is free and apple focuses on provide simple, easy to use and value adding free apps with their iOS device.

Improving engagement and retention could be a potential goal. I would like to go ahead with this?...?Read More

#3. Talk about a product you think is not well designed and why. How would you improve it?

That's an interesting question actually, Please give me a moment to think about it. I would like to say that the Kindle app (Kindle on Mobile) is a good idea but not designed well. I have a habit of reading physical books and started trying kindle, I could not even complete a book as the reading experience is not up to the mark in my opinion. There might be many who must like to read on kindle, but I would like to talk about the persona who is just started or trying to build a habit of reading.

Kindle is doing good in terms of providing a marketplace where users can get access to the most of the books, but I feel it is not well designed in terms of providing the best reading experience:

Pain points: Generally it is quite hard to zooming and read the content as usually, the font size of the content is small and this makes inconvenient?to read.

Access to External PDFs - Whenever user wants to read something which is not from amazon, they cannot easily read. I mean in general people want to keep all the reading material or books at one place, this experience makes it very inconvenient.

If I have to improve it, I will consider the following needs and behavior of users reading online: - Often gets distracted due to notifications or any other messages and likes to read without any distraction?...?Read More
