Specifically it's been reported that Google's in-app purchase system SEEMS to be requesting additional payment when re-using previously purchased in-app content. Several of those users have also reported that no additional payment is ACTUALLY taken. We are raising this issue with Google and wish to assure users of this app that we will immediately refund any duplicate charges for in-app purchases in the highly unlikely event that any are ACTUALLY incurred.

About the Recreated ZX Spectrum online web app (when used with Android devices):
The Recreated ZX Spectrum online web app can be found at RecreatedZXSpectrum.com under the heading Games & Apps. It may be used with but is not optimised for use with any Android devices - consequently the games and applications contained in the online web app may run slowly when used with Android devices. It too contains Chuckie Egg, Sinclair BASIC and a huge game bundle. When using the Recreated ZX Spectrum with the online web app (for Macs and PCs) ALL OF THE INCLUDED GAMES AND APPLICATIONS ARE FREE OF CHARGE. This because the Recreated ZX Spectrum online web app can only be used with the recreated device.

KNOWN ISSUES: there are a couple of known issues with this app. If you’ve previously installed a version of this app then it’s possible that Option>Rotation Lock defaults to ‘portrait’. For ease of use this should be set to 'off'. This can be done by tapping on the icon. Also, there's no Settings option for the iDaptive Controls, which means that the opacity of the on-screen controls can't be changed. Consequently, they're invisible (indeed they're inactive) in landscape mode. There are probably other issues. We’re working on fixes for these issues and hope to include them in an early update.
