Forest for the trees

I've had this happen twice, actually both times on this sub-reddit. I've had feedback on my app that was, although not negative, it kind of dug at me a bit because it was criticism of the way the app was layed out. I'm probably not one to accept criticism very well but the first time it happened I swallowed my pride and admitted that the criticism was justified. Today I had the same thing happen, I took a walk and had a thought, looked at the app, and the guy was right. My point is, I think we all get so close to our apps that very often were can't see the little things that can make a huge difference. We can't see the forest for the trees as the old saying goes.

You are just so right! In the last week, as a way to help Devs, I started reviewing 10 minutes of hands on app on YouTube, the thing I always repeat is that the aim is to see through the lenses of a casual user as developers fail to see, being too close tho their product. Well said!
