Date: 1/11/2015

Doctor ScreamZ (version 1.6) on my first generation, microphone less Kindle Fire

Description:

Usually (nearly always) when I attempt to download an app that focuses on the recording on audio on my microphone-less Kindle Fire, i'm given an error message that tells me that my particular Kindle Fire isn't compatible with the app i'm trying to download.

After selecting the record option inside of Doctor ScreamZ, i'm presented with a message that says,

"The application Dr.ScreamZ (process com.scream.doctor) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Download Doctor ScreamZ
2.  Select "Skip" under Doctor Phil

Don't miss the balls game - easy way to get text overlaid

Date: 01/08/2015

Don't miss the balls game (version 1.04)

Description:

This isn't a very serious bug, but since I spent several minutes today looking at another problem with this game that was apparently immediately fixed after I provided feedback via the Google Play store, I didn't feel like I could just walk away and not right a bug!

There's an easy way to get main menu user interface text overlaid on top over other screens.

Very specifically, the main menu of Don't miss the balls has a "?" option that brings up a "Simple is not easy!" tutorial text.

If the user coordinates pressing the "?" and the "1 PLAYER" option at the same moment, a "Chose up to 2 items" menu option will appear overexposed over the "Simple is not easy!" tutorial text.

This is much easier to show than to describe, so please just take a look at the attached screenshots.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Download and launch the Don't miss the balls game
2.  From the main menu, press the "1 PLAYER" and "?" options simultaneously

Result:  Pressing the "1 PLAYER" and "?" options simultaneously at the main menu of Don't miss the balls results in the "Chose up to 2 items" text being overlaid over the "Simple is not easy !" text

Expected:  Pressing the "1 Player" and the "?" options at the same time should not result in overlaid text



Download and launch the Don't miss the balls game on a Kindle Fire.


The main menu has a "1 PLAYER" and a "?" option.


Press the "1 PLAYER" and the "?" options at the same time.

The "Chose up to 2 items" text is overlaid over the "Simple is not easy !" text.

Cube Thing game on the Kindle Fire: Pressing "Play Again" after taking a screenshot doesn't restart game.

Date: 09/11/2014

Cube Thing game: Version 1.1

Description:

I've downloaded Cube Thing onto both an Android mobile phone and onto my Kindle Fire.

This particular bug only happens on my Kindle Fire.

On the Kindle Fire, you're given "Play Again" option.  If you take a screenshot the "Play Again" button is disable, and you're forced to manually back out using the BACK arrow on the Kindle Fire.

I immediately noticed this.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Download Cube Thing onto a Kindle Fire
2.  Proceed through a game and die
3.  From the "Game Over" screen, select "Screenshot"
4.  (The screen will go black) Press "Play Again"

Expected:  The "Play Again" button should work after the user takes a screenshot

Please see the attached screenshot:

On the Kindle Fire, the "Play Again" button won't work after the player selects "Screenshot."

Cube Thing game on the Kindle Fire: Screenshot Option not working as expected.

Date: 09/11/2014

Cube Thing Game: Version 1.1

Description:

I just downloaded the game Cube Thing onto my first generation Kindle Fire.

The game is pretty enjoyable (although it would be about 5 time better with Amazon GameCircle integration!) and I encourage anyone to give it a try.

I did find one particular bug that I kept getting, that I thought I should jot down here.

This game features a screenshot option.  I've seen this feature on other games that i've downloaded for my Kindle Fire, but i've almost never used this feature.

I tried to use this feature of Cube Thing today - and it didn't work me.  Perhaps i'm just misunderstand it wrong.  Allow me to explain...

Instead of taking a picture of the entire screen - meaning my cube and the course - it only takes grabs a screenshot of the rectangular box with the scores.  I have no idea why anyone would want a screen shot of that (and not the course AND the results).

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Download Cube Thing game on a Kindle Fire
2.  Launch on a Kindle Fire
3.  Take a screenshot
4.  Go and look at screenshot

Result:  Screenshots taken in Cube Thing show only the rectangular score box - not the entire field of play

Expected:  I want a screenshot of both the scores AND the course!

Repro Rate:  5/5

Please Note:  Please see the attached screenshots.

Grab a screenshot from this screen.  When I go and tap the "Screenshot" button, i'm assuming that i'm going to capture the entire screen - meaning the cube and the course.

This is what was taken, this is my screenshot.
