HipVan app for iOS: No link in the auto-generated referral email

iOS 13.4
HipVan app for iOS (version 9.38)
Date: 04/09/20

Description:

Minor problem with the HipVan app for iOS.

The app features a referral area to send an invite to the app to your friends. The referral area has an email option which opens the default Mail app on the device.

The problem is that the auto-generated email message lakes the link to hipvan.com/referrals.

This sort of makes the email pointless.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the HipVan account
2. Create an account
3. Select the "Me" option
4. Select the "Referrals" option
5. Select the Email option
6. Note no referral link in the email

Result: The auto-generated referral emails from the HipVan app don't have an active link

Expected: The auto-generated referral emails from the HipVan app should have an active link

Create an account, and head to this area to send a referral. Select the "EMAIL" option...

No link in the auto-generated email, as you can see....

No link in the email that is sent.

Overstock app for iOS: Camera Roll access prompt appears after selecting the share option from any product

iOS 13.4
Overstock app for iOS (version 2020.3.2)
Date: 04/07/20

Description:

Here's an odd one. This is the first time I have ever seen this with an iOS app.

With the current version (2020.3.2) of the Overstock app, a camera roll permission dialog message appears when the user selects the share sheet option from any product.

This message appears after selecting the share option for a product. Why? There doesn't seem to be any reason for asking for this message after selecting the share option, as it has nothing to do with accessing the share sheet....

I don't think that this message should be appearing at this point.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Overstock for iOS for the first time
2. Select any product listed in the app
3. Select the share option from any product

Result: Camera roll access prompt appears after selecting the share option from any product listed in the Overstock app for iOS

Expected: This prompt shouldn't be appearing at this point

Download the app for the first time. Select any product. Select the share option....

Why is this being prompted now?

Quibi app for iOS: Easy to reproduce crash from the "Watch Trailer" option...

iOS 13.4
Quibi app for iOS (version 1.0.9)
Date: 04/06/20

Description:

I downloaded the Quibi app, and signed up for the free 90 day trial, after reading a lot about the app.

I liked the shows I saw, and this new "turnstyle" method or orientating the content on the screen.

There is one easy to reproduce crash with the app that I have discovered, however. I actually discovered this crash in regular user mode - I do believe that it is something that your average user might run into.

If you quickly double or triple tap the "Watch Trailer" option for any show, the app crash. I am getting this to reproduce with my iPhone 8 running 13.4 constantly.

Here's a video of the crash I keep getting:

Here's the crash dump:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Quibi app - sign up for free trial
2. From the "Today for you" section, select the "..." next to any show
3. Select the "More Info & Episodes" option from any show
4. Quickly tap "Watch Trailer" button (in either a ONE...TWO-THREE-FOUR or a ONE-TWO-THREE....FOUR-FIVE manner)

Result: Quickly tapping the "Watch Trailer" button frequently crashes the current version (1.0.9) of the Quibi app

Expected: The Quibi app should not crash if the user quickly taps a "Watch Trailer" button

Select the "..." option from any preview section...

Select the "More Info & Episodes" option...

Tap on the "Watch Trailer" option two or three times...
