Bugs and requests

The Party Source

Reported bugs

8 issues
  • App is egregiously slow, buggy, and lack of async makes it painful to use
  • Lag is extremely extremely bad, like a 5 second hang delay where the app locks up because they aren't using async operations
  • Issue when you want to remove items from your cart. If you swipe to delete it stays on this swiped action/delete for the items left in the cart until you fully exit/close the app and go back in.
  • Tried to search my favorite cigar using the app and no products were found
  • Needs an option to sort price high-low, low-high.

  • Also would be better if the same amount of product information on the website was included in the app.
  • The app is so touch sensitive unlike any other I have ever seen on ios.
  • Anytime there has been a big release on allocated liquor the app and site crash.
