Thirst iPhone App: Running searches for spaces crashes the app

Thirst iPhone App (version 1.1)

I just downloaded the Thirst iPhone app.  Thirst is a very interesting idea.

I've found an easy way to get the app to crash.

I've downloaded, deleted, and re-downloaded the app, and i've managed to get this to reproduce 10 + times with multiple twitter accounts.

The crash is extremely simple, if you run a search of a "space", a single press of the space bar, the application crashes.

Please see the attached screenshots.

Repro Steps:

1.  Download and launch the Thirst app to try it out
2.  Sign in with a twitter account
3.  From the "Newspaper" page, press the triple line thing in upper left
4.  From sidebar, select "Search"
5.  Run a search of a single space/single press of the spacebar
6.  Wait about 3 seconds

Result:  The Thirst iPhone app is crashing for me 100 percent, when I run a search of a press of the spacebar

Expected:  That the thirst iPhone app won't crash if the user runs a search of a single space/single press of the space bar


Download Thirst from the app store.

After logging in with a Twitter account, select "Search" from the side bar.

Press the <space> button and then run a search for a space.  Wait 3 seconds.  This has crashed my Thirst iPhone app numerous times.
