- The total score isn't calculated (which is the intention of the app right?). The top, middle, bottom work, but aren't summed.
- The way you're drawing things doesn't support landscape orientation. The tubes and total score end up being drawn off the screen. If you want to force the app to only be portrait, set the Activity's orientation property in the manifest.
- When the phone is rotated, the activity is restarted and the screen is cleared. To fix this, you need to update the Activity in the manifest to handle configuration change events from orientation events. You'll find a similar problem if the keyboard is opened/closed on something like a Droid. For that you need to handle keyboard and keyboardHidden events. You don't need to do anything with the events, but you need to at least have the handlers
- Your circles look hand drawn. If you're direct drawing, you should look into turning on antialiasing for your Paint object.
You have potential with this app. Keep plugging at it and make sure it's bulletproof before you put it on the market.

I was planning on waiting until this version was more refined before releasing it to the market, and I had planned on refining it tonight.
As for the first two/three issues- I had fixed those, but it would appear that I zipped the wrong APK. Landscape is not supported right now, though it probably will be once I add the ability to have more than one grid.
The circles are actually images created in photoshop. Can you detail what makes them look hand drawn? In any case, I modified them slightly for this release.
The scoring issue should be fixed now as well.
Thanks for the feedback and testing! This is my first real android app. I have done a few tutorial apps, but had yet to actually find a useful app to make. Definitely a new experience.
