There's a very serious bug in the Android client. I don't know whether it affects anyone or just me. Sometimes, a stone is simply missing from the board. If you move the cursor over the intersection where the stone should be, the stone will appear again. I haven't figured out a way to reproduce the bug reliably, or when exactly do stones disappear.
I have only seen this in spectated games (I haven't tried using the Android client to play), where I suppose it's not such a big deal. Still it's hard to think of anything more crucial to a go client than showing the board correctly. I just got used to dragging my finger around the screen every time I notice the board seems weird or the players' actions irrational. Sometimes this indeed reveals the missing stone.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Re: Missing stones in the Android client
I've never seen this behavior while playing or observing games before.
