An odd thing just happened: I started The Pinball and then launched Pinball Remote. I hit the Play button and the game started. I launched the ball with the remote -- and then I discovered that both flippers were completely dead on the remote. They wouldn't light up at all. I lost the ball, obviously, and re-launched. (The remote's plunger worked fine.) But the flippers stayed dead. I restarted the app, but that had no effect. I tried starting new games, and that didn't work.

Finally, I closed The Pinball and then turned off my iPhone. I turned it back on, restarted The Pinball and the remote, and everything seemed to function fine.
