TalkShopLive: Unintelligible Error Message During Account Creation

 iOS: 16.7.1

TalkShopLive app for iOS (version 1.0.1)

Date: 10/17/2023

Description:

I was unable to create an account using the new TalkShopLive app for iOS today. When attempting to create an account an error message of: "JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'" appeared. 

Here's a screenshot of the error message:

While I am not in the United States, and I am currently in a country (from an IP) that is prohibited from creating new accounts or using this app, the error message should be better than this. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using an iPhone that is not in the United States create an account

Result: Bad error message 

Expected: Better error message 

 

Slingshot: Instant Camera app for iOS: Error Message is Truncated

 iOS 16.6

Slingshot app for iOS (version 2.8)

Date: 10/14/2023

Description:

A new app called "Slingshot: Instant Camera" has an unusual and unsightly problem. You can't use the app if your phone number isn't a U.S. number, the text inside of the mobile phone number entry box is truncated and impossible to read. 

Here's what the "we need your phone number to know it's you" page is looking like for me:

Difficult to read!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. (Using a phone that has a non-US number) Download the Slingshot: Instant Camera app

2. Advance to the "we need your phone number to know it's you" page

Result: If the user tries to sign up with a non-US the text in the mobile phone input box is truncated 

Expected: Text inside the app should never be truncated
