Fleep iPhone App: Crash on the "Support Message" screen

Date: 08/30/2013

Fleep iPhone App: Version 1.0

Description:

I was playing around last night with the Fleep iPhoneApp.  If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you should.  It’s interesting.

I did find one minor bug with the Fleep app – a very easy to reproduce crash.

This crash isn’t the type of crash that a normal user will encounter.  Still, it happens, so I’ve decided to write it down.

This crash is similar to a number of other crashes that I’ve discovered with other apps.

This crash is much easier to show than to describe, so if you’re interested, please just scroll down to the single attached screenshot.

When you launch the app, you’re provided with a default “Fleep Support” message.  From this “Fleep Support” message, the user is presented with two options in the upper left and upper right corners of the screen.

One of these options is a “pinned messages” icon in the upper right.  The other is a back option in the upper left.  If the user presses and releases these two options at the exact same time, the app will crash 100 percent.

Steps to reproduce:

1.     Download the Fleep iPhone app and create an account by confirming the sent email

2.     Sign into your account

3.     Select the default “Fleep Support” message

4.     From the “Fleep Support” message screen, press and hold the pinned message and back icons

5.     Release the held down pinned message and back icons at the exact same moment

Result:  There is an easy to reproduce crash with the Fleep iPhone App (version 1.0) on the “Support Message” screen – the app will crash if you press and hold the pinned message and back icons at the same time, and then release at the same time

Expected:  No crash on the “Support Message” screen
