Pretty hopeless without a fix

The app is incredibly buggy at the moment and isn't allowing the user to click/tap a country properly, preferring to take you to somewhere in Japan or Australia instead. It WAS useful once for teaching my geography class but needs a serious fix.

Mm. Yes bit good yeah Minecraft steve though?

It was a cold and lonely night, winds blew delicately through the white stained glass windows of Steve's house.
“Gee its cold innit” Steve stuttered as he turned on the room heater in his room.
“Maybe i can help with that” said alex as she walked into his room”
To be continued………
