Functional & Data Integrity Issues
[Credits] Users can exploit free credits by deleting and recreating an account with the same email
Environment: Internal Testing (V1.0.20) — Samsung Galaxy A22 5G
Test Scenario
When a user deletes their account and creates a new account using the same email address, the free credits are reset and the user is granted a new set of free credits, allowing them to bypass the credit limit indefinitely.
Preconditions
- User is logged in
- User has an existing account with depleted or partially used free credits
Steps to Reproduce
- Use up the free credits on the existing account
- Navigate to account management in settings
- Clear data
- Delete the account
- Create a new account using the same email address
- Check the credits balance on the newly created account
Actual Result
- The new account is granted a fresh set of free credits despite using the same email address as the deleted account
- The new account undergoes the onboarding process again
Expected Result
- Free credits should not refresh when recreating an account with the same email
- The system should retain a record of previously used credits associated with the email to prevent exploitation
Impact
Users can exploit this to get unlimited free credits without paying. Directly affects revenue and subscription conversion, undermining the freemium model and monetization strategy.
[Streak] Streak count does not reset when account is deleted and recreated using the same email
Environment: TestFlight (V1.3.63 (4)) — iPhone iOS 26.1
Test Scenario
When a user deletes their account and creates a new account using the same email address, the streak count from the previous account is retained instead of resetting to zero.
Preconditions
- User is logged in
- User has an existing account with an active streak
Steps to Reproduce
- Note the current streak count on the existing account
- Navigate to account settings
- Delete the account
- Create a new account using the same email address
- Check the streak count on the newly created account
Actual Result
- The streak count from the deleted account is still present on the newly created account
Expected Result
- The streak count should reset to zero when a new account is created, regardless of whether the same email address is used
- Account deletion should clear all associated data including streak history, journal entries, and chat history tied to that email
Impact
Streak data from a deleted account persists on a newly created account, misrepresenting the user's actual activity. Combined with the free credits exploit, this suggests account deletion is not fully clearing user data — a potential data privacy concern.
[AI Coach] AI coach falsely confirms food log entry that was never created
Environment: Internal Testing (V1.0.18) — Samsung Galaxy A22 5G
Test Scenario
When a user informs the AI coach of a food intake (e.g., "I ate chips and drank softdrinks"), the AI coach confirms that the food has been logged. However, when the user navigates to the food journal, no entry is created for the reported food intake.
Preconditions
- User is logged in
- User is at the home page
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to AI coach
- Send a message related to food log (e.g., "I ate chips and drank softdrinks")
- Observe AI response
- Navigate to food journal
- Check today's entries
Actual Result
- AI responds: "I've added those to your food log" (or similar confirmation)
- Food journal: no entry created — food log is empty
Expected Result
- Option A — if coach has journal write access: AI confirms the entry AND food items appear in the journal with estimated calories/macros
- Option B — if coach does not have write access: AI acknowledges intake conversationally but does NOT claim to have logged it
Impact
The user trusts the AI confirmation and assumes their intake is logged — it is not. Calorie and macro totals for the day are inaccurate. For pre-diabetic or condition-management users, missing food log data is not just a UX issue — it is a health risk.
[Journal] Meal entry added on a past date via '+' icon appears on the current date instead
Environment: TestFlight (V1.3.61 (3)) — iPhone iOS 16.1
Test Scenario
When a user navigates to a past date in the journal that has no entry and adds a meal using the '+' icon, the entry is incorrectly logged under the current date instead of the selected past date. This behavior is only observed when using the '+' icon and cannot be replicated using the 'Add a Meal' button.
Preconditions
- User is logged in
- App is freshly opened
- User is on the home screen
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to the journal page
- Go to a past date with no existing entry (e.g., the 11th)
- Tap the '+' icon
- Select either text or photo entry
- Enter a meal description or capture a photo
- Tap 'Submit'
Actual Result
- The added meal entry appears on the current date instead of the selected past date
Expected Result
- The meal entry should be logged under the date it was added on
- If the entry falls between existing streak dates, the streak count should update accordingly
Impact
Silently logs entries to the wrong date without any error or warning. Affects data integrity — streaks, daily summaries, and macro tracking are all tied to the correct date. The '+' icon may be referencing the current date instead of the selected date from the journal.
Unit toggle to lb displays quantity as zero due to decimal truncation
Environment: Internal Testing — Samsung Galaxy A22 5G
Test Scenario
When editing an ingredient in the breakdown and toggling the unit from grams to lb, the displayed quantity becomes 0 instead of the correct converted value (e.g., 20g = 0.04 lb). Other unit conversions such as oz (0.7) and ml (20.0) display correctly, confirming the issue is isolated to the lb unit.
Preconditions
- User is logged in
- User is in the journal page
- There should be an existing meal entry with initial quantity set to 20g
Steps to Reproduce
- Tap on the meal entry
- Edit the ingredient breakdown (initially set to g with value 20)
- Toggle the unit to lb
- Observe the displayed quantity value
Actual Result
- Value in lb becomes 0.0 instead of the correct converted value (e.g., 0.04 lb)
- Total macros remain unchanged, confirming the underlying data is correct
Expected Result
- The lb unit should display the correctly converted value with sufficient decimal places (e.g., 20g = 0.04 lb)
- At least 2-3 decimal places should be displayed for lb conversions since values for small quantities are very small
- Total macros should remain unchanged
Impact
Showing 0 lb is misleading — users may assume no food is logged. If the user edits or saves from the 0 state, it could corrupt the actual stored value.
QA Release Document
[Redacted]
Version 1.0.22 | Android Client
This release improves the re-analysis flow by clearing error prefill text and restoring original prompts, fixes credit deduction timing and chat persistence, ensures the journal scrolls to the top on new entries, and resolves minor onboarding text formatting issues.
| System | [Redacted] Client |
| Build / Version | 1.0.22 |
| Status | Done |
| Release Date | April 7, 2026 |

PVT Report
Most test scenarios passed, confirming correct behavior for AI safety (prompt injection and domain restriction), retry handling, formatting, and markdown rendering.
An issue remains in profile value saving, where height and weight updates are not consistently saved unless the slider fully settles. A minor UI issue was also noted with error message overlap on photo entries, but it does not block functionality.
