Dear Sonos: Fire your head of software product or engineering

Ok sorta kidding. I don’t know your org or how to fix it. But it feels like someone in software leadership has a severe lack of user centricity and too much power.

Are there any real usability tests that meaningfully show this is a massive leap forward? Or is the new app driven by what some self proclaimed genius thinks is better?

The speakers are great, the networking stuff is great. The software seems consistently awful and just seems to get worse with each release.

At this point I can’t help but think it’s a cultural issue. Whoever is leading product or Eng or whatever… just start over.

Start w the most basic user stories.

  • as a user, I’m on my couch, I want to play a song. Nail that use case.

  • as that same user, I want to change the volume.

  • as that … add a speaker.

Just build a scorecard of the use cases and prioritize and absolutely nail nail nail the usability of the core. This doesn’t mean smart people “who know what’s best” come up w designs. This means take an educated guess then test test test. Watch real world users do stuff. Measure. Then iterate. Take the time to repeatedly do this until a new user can pick up the app and do these things well because it’s so painfully stupidly easy to do. Good software will come once you make the user the center, and iterate like crazy until they’re thrilled, instead of whoever has way too much power and thinks they’re the genius w the right ideas.

Then if you need to stick an ad somewhere, try to resist, we already paid you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. If you want me to know about your product just email me.

Ok maybe I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe none of this resonates. Maybe all the usability and user centric stuff is done great and I’m just the rando who finds change hard. But I’m just saying be honest with yourselves. A lot of crappy design gets swept under the rug of “users hate change”.

Peace.

Absolutely no hype around the Ace

After a day of sponsored Youtube blitz (THE NEXT BIG THING!), there has been zero chatter or discussion anywhere about the Ace. The headphones are dead on arrival. This is what happens when you create a pair of Sonos headphones without the core feature of the Sonos ecosystem.
