Our team at QAwerk conducted a bug crawl of the app and found several bugs that potentially impact the product’s performance and user experience. Please see our report below for a detailed overview.
Possible to sign up with empty spaces in 'First Name' field
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
The application is installed.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the app.
- Tap the ‘Let’s Get Started’ button.
- Select the desired language.
- Indicate the language to be used in conversations.
- Select an option for ‘What Brings You Here Today?’.
- Select an option for ‘What Would Help You Most?’.
- Select the ‘Sign Up With Email’ option.
- Enter a valid email and password.
- Insert spaces into the ‘First Name’ field.
- Tap on the ‘Proceed’ button.
Environment:
iPhone 14 Pro
Version 26.2.1
Actual Result:
Registration completes successfully even when the ‘First Name’ field only contains empty spaces.
A validation message appears if the ‘First Name’ field is left entirely blank.
Expected Result:
The application should not accept spaces as a valid entry in the ‘First Name’ field. Instead, the spaces should be automatically removed, or a validation message should be displayed.
Session not refreshed after password change, leading to token-expired error on profile update
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The application is installed.
- The user is successfully logged in to the app.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Navigate to the ‘App Settings’ tab.
- Tap the ‘Change password’ button.

- Update the ‘First Name’ field.
- Tap the ‘Save’ button.
Environment:

Version 26.2.1
Actual Result:
Even after changing the password, the user remains on the profile tab. On trying to update profile data, ‘Save’ fails, and the user is shown a ‘Firebase token expired’ error.
Expected Result:
- After a password change, the user session should be gracefully invalidated, prompting re-authentication before further profile updates.
- Any message conveyed to the user should not include technical details (such as ‘firebase_auth/user-token-expired’) that could confuse them.

Environment:

The ‘Detailed Notes’ should not be generated when the meeting transcript is empty.

- The pop-up should not overlap the status bar.
- The modal type should be clearly defined as either full-screen or bottom sheet.
- An obvious way to dismiss the pop-up (‘Close’ or ‘Back’ button) should be provided.
The app is intriguing and could be extremely valuable, particularly for meeting assistance and planning. In most cases, the meeting transcript is effective and generates a plan based on the discussion. However, some validation messages in the app can be confusing to users as they often include excessive technical details. More thorough functional and usability testing should help make the app more user-friendly.
