Q. Why didn 't Heroku take action on this until Rap Genius went public?
A. We're sorry that we didn't take action on this based on the customer complaints via support tickets and other channels sooner.

When I press the power button to turn off the screen, the effect is like turning off an old fashioned TV like grandma used to have. How skeuomorphic!
I could write an equivalent post about the little things that annoy me about Android, but you can do a quick Google search and find a few dozen articles that already cover that.
