Woot app for iOS: Log-Out option appears even if the app is in guest mode and if the user is not signed into an account

 iOS 14.3 on an iPhone 8

Woot app for iOS (version 4.6.1.332)

Date: 01/14/21

Description:

Here's either a bug, or a deliberately strange design choice. The current version (4.6.1.332) of the Woot app for iOS has an odd issue.

Here's a video of the issue:

Odd issue with them.@woot app for iOS - there is a log out option that doesn’t seem to do anything. It even appears while not signed-in.

The app has a log-out feature that appears even if the user has not created or is signed into an account. The user can continually select this log-out feature, and receive a dialog about having logged out. But the option still remains!

Very odd, and I believe that this is the first time that I have seen an iOS app do something like this. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Woot app for iOS for the very first time

2. Select the "Account" option 

3. From the "Account" screen, scroll down to "Log out of Woot"

4. Select the "Log out of Woot" option 

5. Select "Ok" from the "You have been logged out!" option 

Result: There is a "Log out of Woot" option that appears even if the user has never created an account and if the app is in guest mode. The purpose of this "Log out of Woot" option is unclear, and this option does not disappear after selecting it and receiving a conformation message

Expected: There shouldn't be a "Log out of Woot" option if the user is not signed into an account

Download the app. Select the "Account" option - the app is in Guest mode and the user is NOT signed into an account...

Scroll down on the "Account" screen - there is a "Log out of Woot" option even though the user is NOT signed into an account...

After selecting the "Log out of Woot" option, the user is presented with a message that states, "You have been logged out!" - however, the user is able to go back, see the same log-out option, and receive this message over and over.
