We should definitely do this. I'm very excited about all three initiatives
you sent out.
I think the UX review should be the first one. Then once we've addressed
some of the bigger issues from the UX review we should proceed with the
other two.
Thank you,
Bernd

Hi everyone,
On Wednesday, Katherine, Tomasz and I met with Joe Castorena from Google’s
Android Play Partnerships team. I’ve split up the most relevant information
into a few separate emails, to keep the discussion on each separate point
focussed.
Joe mentioned something that Google offers its partners, called a UX
review. He said that he could get the build passed to the Android
engineering team at Google, and in short they’d critique every aspect of the
user experience. The result would be a long document (on the order of 20
pages) where the Android team at Google would make recommendations about how
we could improve the UX of the app. He said that this process is entirely
voluntary, so we could take or leave the feedback as we see fit. He did
suggest, however, that doing something like this is going to massively
increase the way that we’re perceived by Google, and would increase the
possibility of getting featured as a “Best App 2014” or “Best Designed App”.
Basically, we’d be seen as a shining example of what Android could do.
Given that we can take and leave the feedback as we see fit, I think we
should definitely do this. Once we have the feedback, we can figure out
where the individual items of feedback sit in our priorities. I'm really
excited to get some feedback from the people who literally wrote the book on
Android design.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
