Yes for some reason it's hard for some users - they never seem to find the menu. I think it's an inherent problem in Android UI design; there is too much "mystery meat". You can trigger actions with a long press, or maybe they are on the menu, or maybe the dev put a button on the screen instead. I find myself attempting long presses in apps all the time to see if anything happens. It's hard because such a thing is not readily apparent.
