Peach App - Easy way to disable app

Peach App (version 1.0.7) on an iPad Mini 

Description:

I believe that I have found an easy way to disable the app. I do not believe that the average user is likely to this specifically, but it probably indicates something that needs fixing.

After going through the process of creating a new account on Peach, you will eventually find yourself on a page that displays the following text:

“This is your space. Posting to it is a lot like texting. Try saying “Hello!”

On this page there is a settings gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. There is also an arrow in the upper left hand corner of the screen. If you press the settings icon and the back arrow simultaneously, you will be taken to a black screen with a menu option available.

From this menu option if you select “Cancel” the app then appears to become permanently disabled.  The app for me presented nothing but a black screen, no many times I exited out of and re-launched the app.

This is much easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots.

Steps to reproduce:

1.     Download and launch the Peach App (version 1.0.7) on an iPad Mini
2.     Create an account
3.     From the “This is your space. Posting to it is a lot like texting.” screen, press the settings icon and the back arrow simultaneously
4.     Select “Cancel” from the options pop-up

Result: There is an extremely easy way to permanently disable the Peach App (version 1.0.7) on the initial “This is your space.” screen

Expected: There should not be a way to easily disable the Peach App (version 1.0.7) on the “This is your space.” screen.


I was able to get this to reproduce several times.

Download and launch the Peach App...

Select the gear-shaped settings icon and the back arrow at the same time...

These options are now superimposed over a black screen. Select "Cancel"....

App becomes unresponsive
