Azazie App for iOS: App requires Twitter DM access

Azazie iOS app for iOS (version 2.6.0)
Date: 03/07/19

Description:

The Azazie app for iOS has some issues with twitter sharing. The when the user tries to share a dress, a login to the Twitter API is presented. This login prompt states that Azazie requires the user to grant the app full access to Twitter's Direct Messages - this is very unusual, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen an app require direct message access. I believe that this is probably a mistake on your part, and you don't want to require users to hand over this access to share a dress on Twitter.

This also occurs after the user declines (selects "cancel") from the Twitter prompt.





Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and launch the Azazie iOS app
2. Skip the intro
3. Go to any dress
4. Select the twitter option

Result: The app requires full direct message access if the user wants to share a dress

Expected: Few apps require full direct message access for users to link their iOS app/share content with twitter - shouldn't be doing this, in my opinion

The Outnet app for iOS: Facebook Messenger Sharing: No link to the app or the website

THE OUTNET app for iOS (version 5.6.1)
Date: 03/01/19

Description:

Facebook Messenger sharing of an item that is for sale on the Outnet iOS app does not work. There is no link to the product that is created - only either a brief text description of the product, or a photograph without context.

This is presumably resulting in your company losing sales - the lack of a link does not occur with the majority of other shopping apps for iOS

Please see the attached screenshots.

Inside of the Outnet app, select any item that is for sale. Then click on the share icon.

There is no link to look at/purchase the product.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Outnet app for iOS
2. Go to any item that is for sale on the app
3. Select the Facebook Messenger option
4. Note no link to the product

Result: Facebook Messenger sharing of products inside of the app does not seem to work - no link to the products

Expected: If the user shares a product from inside of the Outnet app for iOS using Facebook Messenger, than there should be a working link

DECASO: Search for a blank space temporarily disables the keyboard

DECASO luxury home decor app for iOS (version 6.12)
Date: 02/17/2019

Description:

Running a search for a white space (a search for a single press of the space bar) will temporarily disable the keyboard in the DECASO luxury home decor app.

This is much easier to show than it is to describe, so please watch this video.



In the video, you'll see a regular search for "Chair". After a "Chair" search, the user can click back inside the search box at the top of the screen, and the iOS keyboard is activated. If the user runs a search of a single press of the space bar ("an empty white space") search, then the keyboard become deactivated until the user backs of the screen.

While the impact of this bug is extremely low, it is unusual, as I do this with just about every app that I download. This is the first time I have ever seen something like this.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the DECASO app for iOS
2. Click on "Search"
3. Run a search for something like "Chair"
4. Click in the same search box and run a search for a single press of the space bar
5. Click back in the same search box repeatedly (keyboard does not activate)

Result: Running a search for a blank white space in the DECASO app seems to temporarily disable the iOS keyboard on the screen

Expected: Running a search for a blank white space should not temporarily disable the iOS keyboard
