Craft - Docs and Notes Editor app for iOS: Awkward Error Messaging after Cancelling Out Apple Sign-In During Account Creation

 iOS 14.4.2

Craft - Docs and Notes Editor app for iOS (version 1.5.4)

Date: 04/27/21


Description:

There is a less than user-friendly error message that is displayed by the Craft app during account creation. This error message appears when the user cancels out of creating an account using the Apple Sign-in option.

Take a look at the error message that is displayed:


Not the most user-friendly error messaging. 

The error message reads: "Apple did not authorize the sign-in. (IntroViewController/526)"

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the app
2. From the "Welcome to Craft!" landing page, select "Get Started"
3. From the "Let's get started!" page, select the "Continue with Apple" option 
4. From the "Sign In" pop-up select "Cancel"

Result: Canceling out of the passcode confirmation pop-up results in a less than user-friendly error message

Expected: The "Apple did not authorize the sign-in. (IntroViewController/526)" error message should be amended to something more user-friendly 

I've seen this before with another app called Sole Collector.

Goibibo app for iOS: The "Use a Social Account" option doesn't do anything

 iOS 14.4.1

Goibibo app for iOS (version 9.6.0)

Date: 03/15/21

Description:

There is a menu option to "Use a Social Account" on the "What's your number?" account creation page.

It sure seems as if the user has the ability to forgo entering in an mobile number, and could instead use social media credentials to create an account. It looks like the user is supposed to toggle here:


Toggling this "Use a Social Account" option doesn't do anything at all for me. I see the arrow change position, but no options to use Facebook or Google to login appear. I don't believe this is expected behavior...




If this could be fixed, that would be great, since it is currently functions it is awfully confusing. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Goibibo app for iOS
2. On the "What's your number?" screen, dismiss the numerical keyboard
3. Click on the "Use a Social Account" option 

Result: Clicking on the "Use a Social Account" option on the "What's your number?" screen does not seem to do anything. It doesn't activate options to use social media credentials to create an account. It seems to be a non-working piece of the user interface 

Expected: That clicking on the "Use a Social Account" option will activate the ability to create an account using social media credentials 




Goibibo app for iOS: iOS Share Sheet - The Cancel Option Doesn't Display in the Auto-Generated email referral message

 iOS 14.4.1

Goibibo app for iOS (version 9.6.0)

Date: 03/15/21

Description: 

There is a minor problem with the Goibibo app for iOS and the iOS Share Sheet. The Goibibo app has an option to "Share" the app - which activates the iOS Share Sheet. The "Mail" option from the sharing selection has a problem - the word "Cancel" is invisible with the device set to either the light or dark mode. 

This is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the following screen shots:

Select the "Share" option from the profile page...

From the iOS share sheet, select the "Mail" option...

The cancel option is not visible - does not matter if the device is set to either light or dark mode...

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Select "SKIP"
3. Select "Profile"
4. From the "Welcome, Guest" profile page, scroll down and select "Share"
5. From the iOS Share Sheet select "Mail"

Result: The Auto-Generated email referral message that is created from the "Share" option on the "Welcome, Guest" profile page has an invisible "Cancel" option 

Expected: There should never be an invisible "Cancel" option from an email message generated by the iOS Share Sheet

Gawq app for iOS: Unable to scroll down on the Article Stats side bar menu

 iOS 14.4

Gawq app for iOS (version 1.1.3)

Date: 03/07/21

Description:

Here's a minor complaint with the current version of the Gawq app for iOS. Each article has an "Article Stats" side bar menu. I can't seem to scroll down on this "Article Stats" menu, even if I have commented.

There is text on the bottom of the screen which is half-legible, but if I try to scroll down to read it, nothing happens. It is a little frustrating.

It's difficult to see exactly what I mean in the video, so please take a look at the screenshots below.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select any news article featured inside of the Gawq app

2. From the bottom of any article, select the "^" arrow

3. Select the "Article Stats" option 

4. From the Article Stats side bar, try to scroll up to read the comments section

Result: It does not seem possible to scroll up the Article Stats sidebar menu - user cannot see the partially obscured "comments" section at the bottom

Expected: The user should be able to scroll the Article Stats sidebar menu up and down in order to see the comments section at the bottom

I have just posted a comment to an article...

Now select the "Article Stats" option...

It does seem possible to scroll down and see the "Comments" section.









Twitter app for iOS: Selecting ellipses and profile banner photos freezes the app

 iOS 14.4

Twitter app for iOS (version 8.55.1)

Date: 03/07/21


Description:

This guy isn't kidding!



With the current (8.55.1) version of the Twitter app for iOS, there is an easy way to freeze the app. This happens if the user selects the three ellipses and a profile banner at the same time.

Here's a video of the problem:



Steps to Reproduce:

1. Inside the Twitter iOS app select any user

2. From any user's profile page, select the "..." and tap on the profile banner at roughly the same time

Result: Selecting the ellipses and the profile banner photo of any user freezes the app

Expected: Select the ellipses "..." and the profile banner photo from any user should not freeze the Twitter iOS app

Flightradar24 app for iOS: Share sheet - auto-generated subject line disappears the second time the email dialog is activated

 iOS 14.4 on an iPhone 8

Flightradar24 app for iOS (version 8.12.2)

Date: 02/24/21

There is a minor bug with the Flightradar 24 app and the iOS share sheet option. I have only seen this bug a couple of times before (once with an app called Tangi, and another time with an app Zocdoc) with a few other apps.

It's a extremely minor issue - the fact that I have only seen this problem happen a handful of times in all of the different apps I have tried this with is what is interesting to me!

The Flightradar24 has a feature where the user can share something from inside of the app (an airport, a particular flight) using the iOS share sheet. If the user activates the share sheet, and then selects the email option, the subject line is auto-filled.

Like this:

After selecting a random flight from inside the app (an LAX to Sea-Tac flight) the Subject Line inside is auto-generated. 

After this pop-up appears, cancel out of the email and delete the draft. Then select the email option again from the share sheet:

After selecting the Email option a second time, the Subject Line is now blank. Not common to see this with iOS apps!





Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Flightradar24 app

2. Head to anything inside of the app (an airport or a particular flight) that has an option to activate the iOS share sheet

3. Select the Email icon from the share sheet

4. Note that the Subject Line of the email is correctly auto-generated 

5. Close out the email (by selecting "Cancel" and "Delete Draft") and then select the email option again

6. Note that the Subject Line of the email is now incorrectly blank

Result: The Subject Line of the emails created after selecting "email" from the iOS share sheet are blank after the email is closed and opened again 

Expected: This shouldn't be happening - only happens with a handful of iOS apps
