I just got minecraft on android (Samsung tablet) yesterday and I'm still seeing this problem. Can't load a single resource, its auto loads the lot, can't put for example 1 wood in top and 1 wood in fuel, and can't remove them. 1.6.0 is in store, I see no later version.
On IOS 9.3.5 ipad with 12G capacity, Minecraft pocket version 1.1 will only run for a few minutes or even seconds before crashing.
This applies both to an old save and a new world created under 1.1. The game is unplayable in this state.
Oh that works, I had such a small amount, it was going to max before I could see it. Last time I played I could single tap to move one item, and use the hold tab to move multiple, seems a step backward.
