Bugs Found in Clear Age for iOS
Clear Age: Clean to Grow Stronger is an entertaining game with an original and beautifully designed setting. The gameplay is captivating, and the app offers multiple features that keep players returning for more. The premise takes the player on a journey through the ages while you are, surprisingly, cleaning. The result is a game that is both soothing and fun.
The QAwerk team thoroughly enjoyed testing the Clear Age app. Right off the bat, we can say that the gameplay and all core flows in the game are solid. However, we did discover a few bugs that affect handling while offline and even purchase flows without an internet connection. Read our report below to learn the details.
Offer purchase button displays ‘0’ price and allows purchase attempt while offline
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The app is installed.
- Internet connection is disabled.
- The ‘Era Offer’ is available.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Disable the internet connection on the device.
- Launch the game.
- Open the ‘Era Offer’ section.
- Observe the purchase button.
- Tap the purchase button.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
The purchase button displays a ‘0’ value instead of the actual product price and remains tappable. After tapping the button, the purchase attempt fails.
Expected Result:
When the product price cannot be retrieved due to the lack of an internet connection, the purchase button should be disabled, or an appropriate message (e.g., ‘No Internet Connection’ or ‘Price unavailable’) should be displayed instead of showing ‘0’.
Summary: No clear network error is displayed when opening store offers in offline mode
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
Internet connection is disabled.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Disable the internet connection.
- Launch the game.
- Open any in-game offer or store page.
- Observe the screen.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
The app continuously displays a loading state instead of informing the user that an internet connection is required.
Expected Result:
The app should display a clear and informative error message indicating that an internet connection is required to load store content.
No confirmation message is displayed after tapping ‘Restore Purchases’ button when purchases are already restored
Severity:
Minor
Precondition:
- The user is logged in.
- The user has already restored or has no pending purchases.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Open the ‘Settings’ screen.
- Tap the ‘Restore Purchases’ button.
- Observe the result.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
No confirmation, success, or informational message is displayed after tapping the ‘Restore Purchases’ button.
Expected Result:
The app should display an appropriate status message indicating whether purchases were successfully restored, no purchases were found, or the operation was completed.
While testing this game, I identified some issues related to the in-app purchase flow and offline handling. The reported problems primarily affect the user experience by providing unclear feedback during network failures and purchase restoration. I recommend improving offline state handling and providing more informative user messages to ensure a clearer and more consistent purchasing experience.
