Device/OS: iPad / 5.1.x
Bug Description: The settings screen doesn't imply it scrolls
Steps To Reproduce: Go to settings screen. Does it look like there are options hidden below the box?
Frequency: Always
Additional Comments:
Need a UI hint that there's actually more options in the settings screen - either find a way to expand the box a little bit so you can see the top half of another option to prompt scrolling, or put a couple of up/down arrows to prompt the user that the settings menu is a lot longer than it looks. As it is right now, it looks like that's all the options there are.
Heck, perhaps have a scroll "thumb" that consists of a ball rolling in the habitrail - as you scroll down, it moves down the habitrail.

+1, happened to me last night, had a pretty good game (800 and odd k) with a couple of multiballs and an extra ball, last ball drained and it sat there, flippers active but no ball on table, call attendant didn't think a ball was stuck.
In the end I tilted the table and the game finally ended allowing me to go to hiscore entry.
iPad mini, iOS 6.0.
Dr. Dude
Device/OS: iPad 3, iOS 5.1.1
Bug Description: camera stuck in the top-right part of the table (Mix master) during multiball, flippers responsive and balls rolling here and there but couldn't see the rest of the table.
Steps To Reproduce: multiball
Frequency: twice

Same for me. I tried to report the multiball bug in Dr. Dude but the email address was not recognized. Someone should got in touch with them

iOS 6.1.1
iPad 3
Just played a game of Black Hole and a couple of annoying things happened.
I had a multiball set up, but it didn't trigger until after I had cleared both banks of targets on the upper playfield so I was hoping to get the special as well. Instead once the multiball triggered the Special light in front of the drop targets in the lower playfield went out. I'm not sure if that's correct behaviour or not, but since getting the Special was one of my two remaining Wizard Goals I was slightly miffed.
So I have a three-ball multiball going and then something clearly broken happens. I had earned an extra ball and then one of the three balls drained and instead of continuing with the two remaining balls the table seemed to get confused and think they've all drained: the camera pulled back and I heard the sound of a new ball loading. The flippers stopped working and the two remaining balls drained and then when I launched the ball there was a camera move like it was going to normal play (plunger and table camera set to default), but there was no ball and the game abruptly ended, showed me my score and went back to attract mode.
I had a great game going there and I get denied a special, a multi-ball and an extra ball. There's an unusual combination of events there so I don't know how duplicatable it is.

I have it too on my ipad 4. One version shows all tables as bought and the other only show the 2 most recent DLC. Not sure what is going on. I even bought TOTAN again to see if that would unlock everything. It did not. Just wasted $.99.
Do you think it is related to beta testing?

Firepower
Device/OS: iOS/iPhone 5
Bug Description: In multiplayer games, the game's state for players 2, 3, and 4 seems to carry over from game to game (incl. locks, and 1-6 targets).
Steps To Reproduce: Play a 4-player game. Then, play another 4-player game. Even on Ball 1 for players 2, 3, and 4, sometimes locks are lit and the 1-6 targets are in an odd state for the start of the game.
Frequency: Every time after the first multi-player game is completed.

Bug Description:
Goals showing incorrectly for newly downloaded games already played on different iOS device.
Steps To Reproduce:
I Purchased and played Dr Dude and Firepower on my iPad 4.
I completed the standard goals and a few Wizard Goals on both.
I used the "Back Up Save Data (remote)" on the iPad and exited the game.
I then started The Pinball Arcade on my iPhone 5.
It didn't show the two new tables under the My Tables screen, but still showed them both under the New Tables screen.
I selected "Restore Save Data (remote)" from the options screen, then went to the New Tables screen and selected Firepower.
It prompted me to restore purchased tables and download them.
I first experienced the following when starting up Firepower to play, so I was careful to repeat my steps and document them when starting Dr Dude.
From table selection menu, I selected Dr Dude.
it shows the button for Wizard Goals, with two stars complete.
Selecting the goals button shows not the Wizard Goals but the standard goals with check mark by each.
I Selected the table to play and then viewed the Table Menu.
It also shows Standard Goals and not Wizard Goals.
Selecting the goals list once again shows all of the Standard Goals with check marks by each.
After touching START, before plunging the first ball, I paused the game to the menu screen. it now properly shows the Wizard Goals with the correct items checked.
Frequency:
same for both newly downloaded tables
Additional Comments:
It DOES fix itself once you start playing, but as a software developer myself, those are the most frustrating of all bugs. The ones that vanish! It makes the user think... Did I really just see that? and subtly negatively affects the user perception of the program.
I'm very happy to have this new functionality added to The Pinball Arcade! Even with the minor glitch. Gotta report them to get them fixed though!

This is happening to me as well. With goals met or not, highest score to date and won't get credit for it. It is a shame to have this bug, much like the ST:TNG high score bug. I refuse to play this table again until fixed. Farsight get your crap together.

Device/OS: Ipad2 Ios 6.1
Bug Description: On Dr Dude Cam 3 locked still zooms into the mixmaster
Steps To Reproduce: Play Dr Dude
Frequency: 100%
Additional Comments: This also happened with cam 3 locked for TZ and STTNG's skillshot. I don't know if it's fixed yet as I haven't tried those tables since the new update.

Bug Description: not posting myscores on the 'myscore' boards for the weekly, monthly alltime, boards. For some reason the 'friends' board has me (ccavsman) at no. 1, but I am not located on the 'myscore' boards for these postings after feb 18.
Steps To Reproduce: scored 1,241,690 on the Black Hole machine. 'Friends' board has me no 1., but when checking the 'myscore' boards where i should be somewhere with that score (i already looked to see if it was high enough for boards), its showing the current 1 - 8 players for the timeperiod, and it should be showing my personal score and where it is ranked.
Frequency: every high score so far not posting, but it shows in Friends as no. 1
Additional Comments: im not sure but my account name was changed on the pinballarcadefans forum from Scott Hartsock to Ccavsman to match the Farsight boards. Im not sure if there is any affiliation between your account name and farsights, or how that works at all. But it was changed.
Please also remember to email any bugs you find to support@pinballarcade.com
Thank you!
