Livintis W.L.L. for iOS: The same bugs can live in several applications
This week we’ve had a unique case. We have heard that the same bugs can live in several applications, but they’ve never been met in practice so far.
Until today. Palette Republic, TRIPPY, Leak.ly, VintageLab, CARBON – what can these applications have in common?
- they edit images
- they were developed by Livintis W.L.L.
- they have a harmonious and beautiful design
- they have the same bugs
And there would be nothing to be worried about if one of them didn’t disturb the confidentiality of the user’s data. See below.

We’re all humans, we all make some mistakes. It’s a fact and we all know it. But if there’s no second opinion about our actions, we may never notice that something is not quite right. And, as a result, we fail again and again. It may be some innocent mistake, but in the case of software development, the stakes are a bit higher. That’s why developers rely so highly on external testing like beta-testing or come to full-stack offshore testing companies.
