An app that helps travelers find authentic local dishes. Simply enter your location to get recommendations for traditional foods and restaurants.

This question isn’t really about product design—it’s about creativity, problem-solving, and how you think. Interviewers want to see what kind of problems you notice in the world, how you think about user needs, and whether you can explain your idea clearly and with some structure. You don’t need to build the next Instagram—just show thoughtfulness and originality.

The best way to answer is to pick a real-world friction point—something you’ve experienced or seen others struggle with—and build your app idea around solving that. Then explain what it does, who it’s for, and why it matters. Bonus points if you can touch on how it might make money or scale, but it doesn’t need to be perfect.

For example, you might say something like:

“I’d build an app that helps people actually apply what they learn from books, podcasts, or courses. A lot of people consume content but forget 90% of it. The app would break down key takeaways, let you set small action goals, and send nudges to remind you to put ideas into practice. It would be useful for anyone trying to grow personally or professionally—especially in fast-paced jobs where you don’t have time to reflect. I think there’s a big market for turning passive learning into real behavior change.”

That kind of answer shows that you notice problems, think about practical solutions, and care about impact. Keep it conversational, tie it to something real, and speak with a bit of energy—like it’s actually something you’d want to build. That’s what makes it land.

I would develop a SuperApp that integrates the functions of different apps as a one-stop-shop

I would develop an app with open interfaces that allows users to report issues such as broken street lamps, discarded bulky waste, potholes, any defects in trains, damages to playgrounds, malfunctioning traffic lights, and other damages with location data, and be rewarded through gamification.
