User’s progress is lost, and pop-ups close after app goes to background
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The app is installed.
- The user is on the ‘Home’ page.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Tap the ‘Add Task’ button.
- Enter a name.
- Keep the cursor inside the field.
- Move the app to the background.
- Observe the behavior.
- Open any pop-up in the app.
- Move the app to the background and return.
Environment:
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS version 26.3.1 (a)
Actual Result:
Pop-ups are closed, new item inputs are dismissed, and user progress may be lost.
Expected Result:
The app should maintain the user’s progress and UI state, including open pop-ups, active input fields, and entered but unsaved data when returning from the background.
New tasks use previously selected time instead of default setting
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The app is installed.
- The default time for new tasks is configured in ‘Settings’.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a new task on the ‘Home’ page.
- Change the time on the task.
- Create one more task.
- Check the time on the new task.
Environment:
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS version 26.3.1 (a)
Actual Result:
The new task is prefilled with the updated value from the previous task, rather than the default time.
Expected Result:
Every new task should be initialized with the default time configured in the settings, regardless of the times defined in previously created tasks.
User is able to sign up with whitespace-only value in ‘Name’ field
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The app is installed.
- The user is on the ‘Sign Up’ page.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Tap the ‘Sign Up’ button without filling in the mandatory fields.

- Enter whitespaces in the ‘Your Name’ field.
- Tap the ‘Sign Up’ button.
Environment:
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS version 26.3.1 (a)
Actual Result:
There is no validation for whitespaces in the mandatory field. The user is successfully registered with a whitespace-only ‘Name’ value.
Expected Result:
The system should trim the input, validate that ‘Name’ contains non-whitespace characters, and display a validation message if invalid.

Llama Life is an extremely user-friendly, intuitive, and easy-to-navigate app. The overall design and flow of the app appear to be clear and well-conceived. I identified no critical bugs during testing. However, there are a few minor issues, particularly concerning the app's behavior when minimized and a few validation scenarios. These aspects could benefit from comprehensive QA testing.
