During testing, I identified issues that may negatively impact user engagement, the core gameplay experience, and the application's overall usability. In particular, the issues affect key user flows such as reward collection, navigation between screens, and in-game object behavior. To ensure the stability and proper functionality of the app, I recommend conducting comprehensive testing across various user scenarios and applying best QA practices.
