The Outnet app for iOS: Facebook Messenger Sharing: No link to the app or the website

THE OUTNET app for iOS (version 5.6.1)
Date: 03/01/19

Description:

Facebook Messenger sharing of an item that is for sale on the Outnet iOS app does not work. There is no link to the product that is created - only either a brief text description of the product, or a photograph without context.

This is presumably resulting in your company losing sales - the lack of a link does not occur with the majority of other shopping apps for iOS

Please see the attached screenshots.

Inside of the Outnet app, select any item that is for sale. Then click on the share icon.

There is no link to look at/purchase the product.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Outnet app for iOS
2. Go to any item that is for sale on the app
3. Select the Facebook Messenger option
4. Note no link to the product

Result: Facebook Messenger sharing of products inside of the app does not seem to work - no link to the products

Expected: If the user shares a product from inside of the Outnet app for iOS using Facebook Messenger, than there should be a working link

DECASO: Search for a blank space temporarily disables the keyboard

DECASO luxury home decor app for iOS (version 6.12)
Date: 02/17/2019

Description:

Running a search for a white space (a search for a single press of the space bar) will temporarily disable the keyboard in the DECASO luxury home decor app.

This is much easier to show than it is to describe, so please watch this video.



In the video, you'll see a regular search for "Chair". After a "Chair" search, the user can click back inside the search box at the top of the screen, and the iOS keyboard is activated. If the user runs a search of a single press of the space bar ("an empty white space") search, then the keyboard become deactivated until the user backs of the screen.

While the impact of this bug is extremely low, it is unusual, as I do this with just about every app that I download. This is the first time I have ever seen something like this.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the DECASO app for iOS
2. Click on "Search"
3. Run a search for something like "Chair"
4. Click in the same search box and run a search for a single press of the space bar
5. Click back in the same search box repeatedly (keyboard does not activate)

Result: Running a search for a blank white space in the DECASO app seems to temporarily disable the iOS keyboard on the screen

Expected: Running a search for a blank white space should not temporarily disable the iOS keyboard 

Real Self: Cancel button on Photo Library pop up does not work

RealSelf app for iOS (version 5.2.1) - this reproduces on both the iPad Mini and on the iPhone
Date: 02/17/2019

Description:

Cancel button does not work on the Photo Library pop up. While this isn't that big of a deal on the iPad, it seems like the user is stuck on the iPhone. Gives impression user is forced to choose a photo.

On the "Edit Your Profile" section, there is a somewhat unusual (for iOS) button labeled "Choose File" that is used to select a profile photo. This activates a pop up with a "Photo Library" option. When you select the "Photo Library" option, the "Cancel" option does not work - pressing it does nothing.

Please see the video:

Zola: Canceling out of Facebook Messenger pop up results in a message that the user has successfully shared an item

Zola app (version 6.0.8)
Date: 02/04/2019

Description:

There is a minor (and somewhat aggravating) bug with the Zola iOS app and Facebook Messenger sharing.

If you go to any product for sale on the Zola app, there is a social media sharing pop up on the right side of the screen. If you select the "Messenger" option, the Facebook Messenger list will pop up.

If the user cancels out of this list, the app will display a ribbon at the top of the screen that states the product was "successfully shared"- presumably via Facebook Messenger.

This is scary for users, as I don't want to spam Facebook Messenger contacts. I worried that this message meant that I had just sent a product page to all of my FB Messenger contacts! If possible, could you remove this ribbon if the user cancels out of sharing a product via Facebook Messenger?

See the video for more information:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Zola iOS app
2. Select "I WANT TO SHOP"
3. Select any of the trending products
4. Select the share icon
5. Select "Messenger"
6. Cancel out of the Facebook Messenger pop up
7. Note the ribbon message at the top of the screen that says the product was shared

Result: Backing out of Facebook Messenger sharing results in message stating that the product was "shared" successfully

Expected: No message about a successful "sharing" of a product if the user cancels out of the Facebook Messenger pop up in the iOS app

Click To Pray: Incorrect Warning Message: Trying to delete profile photo results in an error message about deleting the account

Click To Pray app (version 1.0.8)
Date: 2/03/2019

Description:

There is a minor bug on the edit settings portion of the "Personal Information" section of the Click to Pray app.

After selecting "Change Photo" there appears on the screen a drop down menu labeled as "Image options".

This image options drop down menu has a "Delete" option to delete the user supplied profile photo. There is an incorrect error message if the user selects the "Delete" option. Instead of an warning message about deleting your profile photo, a message appears that asks, "Are you sure you want to delete your account?".

This warning message is not correct, as confirming this message simply deletes the user supplied profile photo. It does not lead to the deletion of the account.

This message should be amended to "Are you sure you want to delete your photo?" instead.

Please Note: This is a bug about the error message - not about functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Click to Pray app
2. Create an account and sign in
3. Select the person icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen
4. Select the gearbox settings icon
5. Select "Personal Information"
6. Select "Edit"
7. Select "Change photo"
8. Select the "Delete" option
9. Note the error message that displays as "Are you sure you want to delete your account?"

Result: Incorrect warning message about account deletion after the user tries to delete their profile photo

Expected: A correct warning message to the user about the deletion of their photograph - not their account

Please see the attached screenshots. Thank you!

Select the "Delete" option from this menu...

The "Are you sure you want to delete your account?" warning message is incorrect, as selecting the "Accept" option does not delete the account, it simply deletes the profile photo. Please change the text of this error message.
