Brightnest iPhone App - Easy to get everything to disappear

Brightnest iPhone App (version 1.0)

There is a very small issue with the recently release Brightnest iPhone app.

This issue is easy to reproduce, but I don't think it is likely that that many people will run into this issue.  The end result of this issue is easier to show than to describe, so if you're interested in seeing a brief video clip of the end result, you can watch this clip on YouTube.

This problem causes all information on the back-and-forth slider to become blank.  This means that it is possible for the user to be in a situation where clicking on "Suggestions/favorites/schedule/completed/Explore..." results in a continually blank slider appearing on the screen.

The user has to either log out of their account or reboot their iPhone in order to get information to reappear.

This problem is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots:

1.  Download and launch the Brightnest iPhone App (version 1.0)
2.  Go to any Suggestion
3.  Select any Suggestion
4.  From any suggestion detail page, click small colored square on right hand side of screen, and and the "Back" button at the same time.

Result:  Clicking the "back" button and the colored square on any suggestion page at the same time causes all information to disappear in the app

Expected:  Clicking the "back" button and the colored squares on suggestion pages should not cause all information to disappear in the Brightnest iPhone app

Repro: 5 for 5

Launch the Brightnest iPhone application.

From a page like this, press a colored square and the back button at the same time.

Everything is now blank in the app.

Even running a new search doesn't solve the problem.

Returned results page will continue to be blank.
