Perplexity app for iOS: Bad response for European Train Route Query

 iOS 16.3.1

Perplexity - Ask Anything app for iOS (version 1.3.0)

Date: 04/27/2023

Description:

I don't think the response that Perplexity gives to these two questions is accurate or appropriate.

Here's the query:

What's the longest train route in the European Union? 


Here's the response:


The response.

Here's the problem with this response: The train route they mention runs from Adler to Vorkuta, Russia. 


Russia, of course, is not a member of the European Union, and the train line appears to run entirely in Russia.  

The response to "What is the longest train route in the European Union" should NOT be this line. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the Perplexity app for iOS
2. Ask: "What is the longest train route in the European Union"

Result: Perplexity's response to, "What is the longest train route in the European Union" is a train route in Russia. 

Expected: Perplexity's response to "What is the longest train route in the European Union" query should be train route that begins and ends within the boundaries of the European Union

Lemon8 app for iOS: Auto-Generate Tweets from sharing City Specific Lemon8 Posts Have Dead Links

 iOS 16.3.1

Lemon8 app for iOS (version 3.9.1)

Date: 04/06/2023

Description:

Minor problem with the Lemon8 app and the auto-generate tweet that is created when sharing a Lemon8 posts tagged from a particular city.

There's a lack of a space between the #Lemon8 and the URL in the auto-generated tweet. This results in the URL in the tweet being inactive. 

This is easier to show than to describe, so take a look:

The Lemon8 app allows you to browse posts by city. Here's Denver. The arrow in the upper right lets a user share this...


Select the Twitter option from the iOS share sheet...


The URL in the Tweet is inactive (dead)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and Launch the Lemon8 app 
2. In the input box, search for a city (example: "Denver")
3. Click on a Location-tagged Lemon8 post
4. Select the city tag
5. Share the city tag to Twitter (using iOS share sheet)

Result: The URL in auto-generated tweets about cities is inactive

Expected: The URL in auto-generated tweets about cities should not inactive
