The app was updated recently (15th April, 2013). Below is an updated list of bugs & suggestions for the iPad (may apply to Android too) - red items are items that haven't been seen to since my original thread, green items are what I think have been seen to, orange items are items which I'm unsure about & blue items are items which I've added since the 15/04/13 update.
Bugs:
you can abandon the tutorial mission thus making it impossible to progress;
the CPU usage bar covers the far-right time option;
you can't move programs (such as the copier or deleter);
the file copier sometimes refuses to copy items if another item has already been copied;
some characters aren't displayed or bug out (e.g. äēœŵ);
a developer button has been left in that allows instant access to any system;
the app crashes when certain areas are accessed after the developer # button is used to access a system;
if you've already got a profile, you start to register a new agent & then you end the game through the multitask bar, the original profile will be deleted (this just happened to me & I've lost a lot of progress);
tapping some images (such as the loading bars or images upon first boot) triggers the clicking noise;
the app may crash when switching between apps, causing the profile to be deleted or progress to be lost;
unusual characters act strangely, either by graphical errors, not appearing at all, or appearing as different letters altogether.
Suggestions:
update the images (e.g. the map, the icons, the logo) to show off the HD/Retina display;
instead of having a blank space, the computer screen when you're registering an agent should have the Apple/Android logo, just like the PC version has the Windows/Linux logo;
space some things out a bit more to reduce accidental taps (such as selecting the wrong item in a list or tapping the map instead of increasing a program's CPU usage);
prevent the storyline from continuing without the player as the player may want to keep hacking banks & then the game ends because he ignored the storyline;
display the user's bank IPs in the finance tab;
include a 'cheat mode' option in the settings which enables the # developer button or unlimited money;
improve replay value by allowing the user to carry on playing after the storyline & by lengthening the storyline in general;
include the IRC channel again;
enable multitasking so that the player doesn't have to log back in if he closes the app.
I noticed that some listed items 'glow' after being tapped on, though I'm not sure if this is thanks to the update or not. It's a nice touch.

I suppose you're right. It would be nice to have some sort of cheat mode/dev mode, however, just so that we can have a bit of a mess around or see what the devs use.
Do you have any comments on anything else I mentioned, both the ideas & the bugs? I'd appreciate an acknowledgement from a developer of the game just so that I know that they've seen this please.
