Walmart app for iOS: No way to exit out of the Terms of Service page when it is first entered

iOS 13.5
Walmart app for iOS (version 20.22.1)
Date: 06/07/20

Description:

There's a minor problem with the Walmart app for iOS. I first noticed this some weeks ago, when I was playing around with the app.

At first I thought that this problem was totally random. 

However, after playing around a bit, I figured out a way to easily and consistently reproduce this problem. 

The problem is with the 

Here's a Tweet that includes a video of the issue:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the app fresh, for the first time
2. Select "Skip" to advance through the tutorial 
3. Manually enter in a zip code ("99107" as an example)
4. Select the "Sign In" option at the bottom of the "Hi! Where do you want to shop?" screen 
5. Select the "Create an account" link
6. From the "Create Account" screen, select the "Terms of Use" link

Result: the "Terms of Use" page that is accessible from the initial account creation screen doesn't seem to have a way to back out of it 

Expected: the "Terms of Use" page that is accessible from the initial account creation screen should always have a way to back out of it 

Select the "Sign in" option here...

Select the "Create an account" option...

Select the "Terms of Use" link....

There doesn't appear to be a way for the user to back out of this Terms of Service page!

Walmart app for iOS: Confusing Microphone Permission prompt

iOS 13.3.1
Walmart app for iOS (version 20.6)
Date: 02/19/2020

Description:

Here's an odd one! I almost always disallow microphone access when an app asks for it. I always take a glance at the error message that is displayed to the user. Sometimes, an app will display an informative message.

Only once have I seen a grammatical mistake. Here's what the current version of the Walmart app displays:

"Microphone permission are required to search." - slightly confusing. Should be amended to "Microphone Permission is required to search."

Or, better yet, a more complete error message might be helpful.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Walmart app for iOS
2. Decline microphone access
3. Click on microphone icon in search box

Result: The denied microphone permission error warning for the current version of the iOS app is slightly confusing - displays as "Microphone Permission are required to search."

Expected: A less confusing permission error message
