Ben's Bargains - Shop Deals

Something has changed in recent versions of this app. Previously, I could briefly leave Ben’s Bargains and return without losing my place. Now, every time the app goes to the background and is reopened, the entire deal list reloads and the scroll position is lost. This happens consistently, even after deleting and reinstalling the app, so it appears to be a behavior change rather than a local issue. This makes browsing deals very frustrating, especially when switching apps momentarily. Please fix this by preserving scroll position or caching the deal list for a short time on resume. This would significantly improve usability. Is a fix planned?

This app crashes and requires reloading whenever it is put in the background. If you click on any item in the app then want to go back it has to fully reload. That means you lose your place, even if you scrolled down many pages. This has been going on for over 4 months but I was unable to post this review until now because I was running the iOS 18 betas. Now that I am running 18.2 non-beta I can again confirm the repeated crashes.

My concerns are mostly around the iPad version vs the iPhone version. On the iPhone, When you scroll down and click on any item and then go back, it automatically puts you back at the top meaning you have to scroll all the way back down again. This “feature” does not exist on the iPad version. Also, the feedback button within the app does not go anywhere. I’m on an iPhone 7, iOS 12.1.3 and the app version is 1.5 Otherwise keep up the good work. Update**** Just updated on the iPad Pro now and the same issue is happening there as well, going to take one star away because they are actually going backwards now.
