Great Educational App!

The game overall is very fun, exciting, and rather informative. However, there are some places that could’ve been more optimized and updated. In some cases on specific ProMotion devices (especially on the iPhone 13 Pro), the user interface refresh rate seems to be locked at 60 Hz while the display is optimized for 120 Hz. As for the audio, it seems, (I could be wrong) doesn’t work on my iPhone. I tried turning sound on and off again in the app settings, but it seems to be not working. To conclude, I just wish this issue could be fixed soon with an update to the app. Thanks again for this great app!

Great Game Few Suggestions

Found this game from a few people on discord and decided to get it and it’s really fun, but I have a few suggestions.
-Maybe make it that the president candidate you go up against isn’t the opposite gender every single time.
-Also maybe add more ways to persuade the states. Maybe that costs 4 dollars and gives 3 momentum for that state, but can only be used once a game, so people have to use it wisely.
-Maybe make other parties as well, like independent parties, Libertarian Parties, and Green Parties. -I also would like a presidential debate. -Also maybe make customizable vans for when you proceed to the next week. -Another suggestion : Gamemodes! Maybe a Multiplayer Version and Hand & Play version (where you make your turn and give it to your friend who is the other candidate) -Also difficulties: Easy Normal Medium and Hard Mode. -Another suggestion is a game mode where you can run for senate and run for the state of your choice! Even if this can’t be added to the game please make it another game (if it already exists please tell me which.)
-Final Suggestion:
I know the game is based off the White House, but maybe you could make it for more countries like France and Germany and England and more (Since some English people like other countries there could be English dubs still). That’s all for my suggestions!

Thanks!

LOVE THIS GAME!

As A Kid This Game Is Amazing! I Like Politics More Than You Think But Anyways This Game Is Kinda Accurate Of How The US System Works. Any Inaccuracies? Well They Only Give You 1 Caucus But I Understand That The Game Would Take A Million Years To Finish Then. Other Ones? Well Sometimes Very Blue States In Real Life Like California, & New York Are Red States. Those Are The Inaccuracies. A Suggestion Is To Actually Take A Poll Of Each State And Use That Info. There Could Be 2 Modes. Random Mode & Real Mode. It’s Amazing! Btw It’s Not Hard It’s Medium Sometimes You Win Other Times You Lose. What Would Be Cool Is If You Added Other Countries So People From Other Countries Can Use This I Mean They Might Know About The Democrats And Republicans But It’s Gonna Be More Inclusive With More Countries! This Is Good For All Ages! Love This Game In General. Just Play This Game And You’ll Love It Maybe You’ll Lose At Your 1st But You’ll Win Soon Enough! 5 Stars!
