I've come across an error in power snooker.
If the opponent fails to take a shot on the color after the last red (the punishment being 20 points and shot to me), it will tell me at the top that I am supposed to hit a red. Of course, no red is left on the table and I'm supposed to hit a yellow.
You'll see this in the screenshot below:

Unfortunately, I don't know what happens if the yellow is hit next, since I potted the black like a complete newb. So I'm not sure if it's just an error with the picture of the ball at the top or if potting the yellow would be considered a foul by the game.

Will test soon.

And I swear the time in the picture was an accident!!

Update:

So I just tested this again with dgeneratio.

As it turns out, it is simply the wrong picture that is displayed, the game logic is fine. If you pot the yellow (even though it says that red is on), you're allowed to continue as normal.

So just an error with the picture, nothing urgent!

I think the game may well be colour blind, either that or it's thinking April fools has come round again.

I'll log this, good find.

Another issue is that a foul on the last ball (black) resets the rack even know the black hasn't been potted, very minor issue I know but in the power format it makes no sense to do it + the black could potentially be worth 28 points

^true, but I think the end of frame rules for power are the same as for normal snooker.

Indeed but its not in the official power rules.

It also serves absolutely no point. but its also not much of a big deal.
