myfab5 iPhone App: city name in search reverts to (null)

Date: 09/05/2013

myfab5 iPhone App: Version

Description.

I've recently been trying out myfab5 - it's a cool restaurant discovery service.

I've been playing around with both the website and the iPhone app.  I've found one minor bug with the iPhone app that i've decided to write down.

If you run a Seattle search, the name of Seattle will frequently be replaced by the term "(null)."  This seems to happen when you search for something that hasn't been ranked from inside of the app yet.

So, for example, I ran a search fro "Pad Thai" in "Seattle" - as soon as results were returned, Seattle changed to "(null)"

Please see the attached screenshots.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Launch the myfab5 iPhone app
2.  Run a search for something obscure in Seattle
3.  Note that on the returned results screen, Seattle is replaced with the term "(null)"

Result:  Easy way to get the term "(null)" to display instead of the name of the city your are searching for

Expected:  You should never see "(null)" in an iPhone app

Run a search like "Pad Thai" in Seattle...

After the search runs....

Seattle will become replaced with "(null)".
