iOS 17.3.1

Steller: Plan and Book Trips app for iOS (version 11.2.1)

Date: 02/27/2024

Description:

There is an unusual problem with the Steller app and the option to create an account using the Twitter authorization login. 

If the user exits out of the Twitter authorization, the Steller app freezes.

.@StellerStories - there’s an unusual bug with your current (11.2.1) version of the iOS app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Steller: Plan and Book Trips app for iOS (for the first time)

2. Launch the app 

3. Scroll through the 3 splash screens and select "Continue"

4. From the Create your account screen, choose the "X" option

5. Advance to the Twitter authorization login (via a Twitter iOS app installed on phone)

6. Cancel out of the "Authorize Steller App to access your account?" Twitter login 

Result: User is returned to an unresponsive Steller app - app appears (?) to be permanently frozen until the user deletes or manually restarts the app 

Expected: The Steller app should not become unresponsive if the user cancels out of the Twitter authorization login page - I do this exact same thing with every app that I find that has a Twitter/X login for account creation and I have never encountered an app that does this

This is easier to show than to describe, so please see the attached screenshots:

Advance through this screen...

Advance through this screen...

Select the "Continue" option...

Select the "X" Twitter login...

Cancel out of the login...

App is unresponsive. 

Capsule Clothing Store app for iOS: Disabling Camera Access Results in a Non Responsive Black Screen That Strands the User

 iOS 17.3

Capsule Clothing Store App for iOS (version 1.6)

Date: 02/06/2024

Description:

There is a problem with how the Capsule Clothing Store app responds to having camera access disabled. Like many e-commerce apps, the Capsule Clothing Store app has a feature to use bar code searches. 

If the user selects this bar code option:

They are presented with a confirmation message about enabling camera access. If the user declines camera access, the user will always be presented with a screen that they can't exit out of if camera access is disabled. Nearly every app I have ever used presents a message stating that camera access has been disabled, and provides a link to the Settings app to enable camera access. 

This Capsule Clothing Store app basically strands the user on each subsequent visit into the bar code area. I haven't ever seen this with any other app. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Capsule Clothing Store app for iOS (version 1.6)

2. Select the bar code symbol next to the search box 

3. Decline camera access 

4. With camera access disabled, re-launch the app 

5. Select the bar code symbol next to the search box 

Result: Selecting the bar code search option with camera access disabled results in the user being stranded on an unresponsive screen - no way to exit out 

Expected: Having camera access disable and then selecting the bar code search option should not result in a completely unresponsive Capsule Clothing Store app 

This is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at this:

Camera access for the Capsule Clothing Store app is DISABLE. Now launch the app...

With camera access disabled, select the bar code option...

The user becomes stuck on an unresponsive screen.

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!

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
