MoveTogether iPhone app: MAX GROUP SIZE counter


MoveTogether iPhone app (version 1.0)

Description:

I had to write this one down.

There’s an exceptionally easy way to get the “MAX GROUP SIZE” counter to spin wildly out of control.

This one is much easier to show, than to describe, so if you’d like, just skip down to the attached screenshots.

On the “Start an Activity” screen, there are “-“ and “+” buttons at the bottom of the screen, next to the words, “MAX GROUP SIZE”.

Using a little finger dexterity, if you press the “-“ and the “+” at roughly the same time, the MAX GROUP SIZE counter will begin counting upwards.

Once it starts counting upwards, you can’t stop it unless you cancel out of the page.

I was able to reproduce this several times, and was able to watch the group size counter tick into 4 digits.

Repro Steps:

1.     Download the MoveTogether iPhone app – create an account
2.     Head to the “Start an Activity” screen
3.     Using two fingers press the “-“ and the “+” next to “MAX GROUP SIZE” at roughly the same time

Result:  Pressing the “-“ and the “+” next to MAX GROUP SIZE results in the MAX GROUP SIZE counter continually ticking upwards

Expected:  Pressing the “-“ and the “+” next to MAX GROUP SIZE should not cause the MAX GROUP SIZE counter to spin upwards

Head to the "Start an Activity" page, and press the "-" and the "+" at roughly the same time.
The MAX GROUP SIZE counter will begin counting upwards, with the number continually climbing.  
Out of control counter!  You can cancel out, but it is interesting to sit an watch the group size counter continually climb on it's own!

  1. I'm reading it! :) We fixed this issue in a future release, by having a simple slider from left to right. However eventually we removed it all together since max group size was rarely used.
