Thanks Wayne, In fact I did exactly as you suggest as despite ALL my testing and beta testing with a group of volunteers on various devices, I found that when I released PuzzleQube I very quickly got crash reports from my program showing a problem on the Droid (only the Droid and not on the Nexus One, Hero, G1, Pulse, Dream etc. etc.). I immediately pulled the app and worked to find Droid users who could help me debug the problem.(Many thanks again to the helpfulness of people on this group.)
I managed to fix the issue very quickly and published again and since then all is going well. Now the problem is just to get it noticed among all the other apps in the Android Market - any best practices on that topic?
