POVS Documentation
Bring in POVs of anyone you describe, and see your work through their eyes before it ships.
POVS is a desktop app for getting your customers’ points of view on your work before they see it. Press ⇧⌘PCtrl Shift P on anything on your screen and your POVs look at it the way those people would: what they notice, what puts them off and what they question, and on anything that plays, where they stop. Then you ask them why.
Everything starts with a POV. Each one is a person with a role: someone you describe in a sentence, or a fresh perspective.
