The only time you can switch the mode that starts on plunge is in the one second or so before the plunger takes over the left flipper area - this is a big problem in Mustang, since you don't always want to start with Drag Race and you may not want to continue the last mode you played. It significantly affects strategy.). Maybe this isn't a problem with a controller, but with touch screen it is very impactful.2. The first game I play after launching the app, everything runs fine. On subsequent games, it looks like the inserts (yellow arrows) used in some modes don't light up at all. This makes it harder to do the Road Course mode, since you can't see which shots are cleared and which are left to hit, possibly others are affected as well.  3. Additionally, on games after the first one I play after launching the app, I get a lot of lag in general and especially on multiballs (it is smooth during the first game). Sometimes hitting the Home button then restarting the app fixes the lag, it looks like a possible memory management issue.4. I'm not crazy about the way the app in general handles Android memory. If you hit the home button it closes, but the app doesn't appear in the list of running apps (accessed by holding down the menu button); when you relaunch it the state is usually where it was when home was pressed, so it is definitely still in memory. I have not seen any other Android app behave this way. Makes it hard to manually close out. I would like it to minimally behave like TPA where you can back-key out of the app and have it completely close out of memory and stop sucking battery life in the background.5. As reported by others, the action button doesn't appear to work during gameplay.These are the big bugs that are causing me to hold off on paying for tables, but in general I keep coming back to Mustang even with these flaws - it is a step up from TPA, plays really well and fairly realistically (even though it's slower than real life, the flipper gap is still there and makes it challenging).</blockquote>
