Amazon app for iOS: Link on the Privacy Policy page inside the iOS app does not work

 iOS 14.2

Amazon app for iOS (version 15.21.2)

Date: 11/22/20

Description:

Here's a minor complaint with the current (version 15.21.2) Amazon app for iOS. When new users are creating accounts, there is a prominent link to a privacy policy page. On this privacy policy page, there a link to the previous version of the privacy policy. 

The "here" link does not work:

Nothing happens. The user is never taken to a prior version of the privacy notice. The user also can't scroll up or down on the privacy notice, and is forced to back out. I am guessing that this is not supposed to be happening. 

Here's a video of the problem:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Amazon.com app for iOS

2. Launch the app

3. From the Account Creation/Account Login screen, select "Privacy Notice"

4. From the "Amazon.com Privacy Notice" screen, select the "here" link

Result: The "here" link on the Privacy Notice screen does not seem to work - it should take the user to a prior version of the privacy policy. Instead it just seems to never load. Scrolling up or down is disabled, and the user is forced to back out of the privacy policy 

Expected: The "here" link on the Privacy Notice screen should work - it should take the user to a prior version of the Privacy Policy

There is a feedback option inside of the app. If the user selects the camera option, the app seems to crash 100% of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the app (I didn't create an account)

2. Select the feedback option 

3. Click the camera icon 

4. Select "Take Photo"

Result: The Sparkle in Pink app crashes after the user selects the "Take Photo" option in the feedback form

Expected: The app shouldn't crash after the user selects the "Take Photo" option  

 

E.gg - digital zine creator app for iOS: Usability suggestion - exit user after changing profile photo

 iOS 14.2

E.gg - digital zine creator (version 1.0.1)

Date: 11/20/20

Description:

Here's a small usability suggestion for the E.gg - digital zine creator app for iOS that was just released. 

The process of changing the profile picture is very cumbersome, and not very user friendly. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new account

2. Upload a new profile photo (from either the camera or album)

3. Note that user is left on a screen with two options - an "X" and an "Upload Photo" button

4. Press the "X" button to cancel out

5. Cancel out of the edit option 

Result: Confusing user experience for uploading a new profile photo inside of the new e.gg app for iOS

Expected: After successful upload of a profile photo, the user should be taken back to a profile screen. User should not be stranded on a screen with an "X" or an "Upload photo" option after a photo has been successfully uploaded

 Select the "Edit" option to change the default egg symbol...

Select the "Change Photo" option...

Select either the "Camera" or "Gallery" options...

Choose a photo...

After uploading the photo, instead of the app taking the user back to the previous screen, the user is left stranded here. Was the photo successfully uploaded? Why isn't here a "Done" button? Is the "X" a "Done" button, or a close/cancel button? 

After exiting out, the default egg icon doesn't change. What happened to the photo I selected?

Now the photo updates! Confusing!

Facebook app for iOS: hashtag suggestions are not accessible from the Edit Caption option of any photo

Facebook app for iOS (version 291.0)

Date: 10/15/2020

Description:

Here is a minor problem that I keep having with the Facebook app (version 291.0) for iOS. When the user edits the caption of any photo, suggested hashtags appear after entering in the "#" character.

None of the suggested hashtags appear to work. The user can't select them.

Here's a video of what I mean:

.@Facebook .@schrep - Minor (but noticeable) bug with the Facebook iOS app. You can’t select any of the auto-suggested hashtags when edit captions on photos.

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

 iOS 14.0.1

Zocdoc app for iOS (version 4.61)

Date: 10/04/20

Description:

Here's a minor bug that I have only seen once with another iOS app.

Like almost all apps, Zocdoc has an option to "Share" the app via a menu option. This "Share" option activates the iOS share sheet. If the user selects the email option from the share sheet, they will see the following text in the email message and in the subject line:

You'll notice that the when you first open up the email message, the subject line is auto-generated.

However, if you open the email option a second time...

The subject line is deleted! I've tried this with a great many apps, and I have only noticed this problem happen one other time. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Zocdoc app for iOS

2. Select the "Sign up/Log in" option 

3. From the "My account" screen, select the "Share Zocdoc" option 

4. From the iOS share sheet, select the email icon

5. Select "Cancel"

6. Select "Delete Draft"

7. From the iOS share sheet, select the email icon again

8. Note that the Subject Line is now blank

Result: The auto-generated subject line (which displays as "Check out Zocdoc") disappears the second time the user activates the email invite via the iOS share sheet

Expected: The auto-generate subject line should not disappear if the user activates the email invite more than once
