EyeEm iPhone App Version 3.0 - Playing around while the app's camera is on, good idea?

EyeEm iPhone App (verson 3.0)

Description:

Here’s a weird one.  No one would probably ever encounter this problem in regular use of the EyeEm iPhone app.  But, I found it interesting enough to write down.

It’s a bit difficult to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots.

Following the steps described here, I’ve gotten the EyeEm iPhone app to crash several times.  Even if it doesn’t crash, if you follow the steps described, you’ll see some strange behavior.

Basically, while taking a picture, you’ll see two icons to the left and to the right of the snap a picture button.

If you press these two buttons simultaneously (which is, of course, the first thing any end user would do) you’re able to get the “Swipe to change Borders” pop-up to appear overlaid over the camera roll photo selection menu.

Then after the misplaced “Swipe to change Borders” pop-up fades away, if you select a picture from the camera roll, the app will frequently grind to crawl.

If it doesn’t crash, and if the app recovers, you are taken to your selected picture.  But, the “blank” – “richard” – “bround” – “classy”, etc., icons will appear as gray boxes.

Weird, huh?

Repro Steps:

1.     Signed into a created account, launch the EyeEm iPhone app (version 3.0)

2.     Select the photo icon in the bottom middle of the screen

3.     With the camera activated, press the square and the double square (to the right and to the left) of the camera icon at the same time

4.     Either select a photo from the camera roll or cancel out

5.     If the app doesn’t crash, notice that the icons for altering the photos have turned into grey boxes

Result:  Wacky behavior when the user presses the squares to the left and to the right of the camera icon at the same time, while the app is in camera mode

Expected:  I don’t know

While the camera mode of the app is activate, press the two buttons that are circled.

Occasionally, you'll see this.

No matter what, you'll end up here, and the images for the filter are gone!

OpenTable iPhone App - Easy to get the app to display "null"

OpenTable iPhone app (version 3.7.1)

Description:

There’s an easy way to get the term “null” to appear on both the OpenTable iPhone app, and in OpenTable email notifications.

This bug is about the appearance of the term “null” in the application itself, this bug is NOT about the steps used get “null” to appear.

If you create a new account, you can easily use a space (press of the spacebar) to give yourself a seemingly blank, first and last name.

If you do this, “null” will appear in both the iPhone app, and in subsequent email notifications.

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

Repro Steps:

1.     Download and launch the OpenTable iPhone app (version 3.7.1)

2.     Select “My OpenTable” and the select “Create an OpenTable account”

3.     From account creation enter in presses of the space bar for your first and last name

4.     Find a restaurant and book a table (notice name appears as “<null> <null>” within the app)

Result:  If the user creates an account using presses of the spacebar as their first or last name, the iPhone app and subsequent email notifications will display the term “<null>”

Expected:  That “<null>” should never appear in an app

Download and launch the OpenTable iPhone app.

Create a new OpenTable account.

Create an account with presses of the spacebar ("empty spaces") entered in, in the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields.

You'll then start seeing "<null> <null>" inside of the application......

and you'll see "null" in email notifications, and, not surprisingly, blank name fields in the text of the emails!
