Four Stars for My Life as a Refugee

I am giving this app four stars because, while it is an overall great app, there are some improvements to be made. Things I have noticed need worked on or suggestions I have for you:
•the loading time for the information on the Internet is so long that I have not been able to use any online features
•story progression needs to be improved; for example, I chose to escape by plane on Amika's story, but a few slides later I was on a boat--if it is not an option at this time to add the plane part in, either remove the option to escape by plane or give the player a reason as to why Amika can no longer go by plane (this is not the only instance I noticed my choices being ignored)
•perhaps add in more chances to make decisions--I found myself getting bored after going through several slides in a row where I couldn't make any choices
•over time, add in a few more characters
•perhaps include the character's home location
•I personally found the page displayed after finishing the game to be overwhelming; an updated, more organized design would be appreciated
•fix minor grammatical errors and technical issues
As I stated at the beginning of my review, this app is great as it is. I especially love the unique artwork. However, for the app to reach a larger audience, some improvements need to be made. Please keep working on My Life as a Refugee, as it's unique and meaningful.
I will, for the time being, be keeping this app.

Tipsy tipsy all a ropsy ,

I think.......

I think it needs a child. Like a 12 year old who's parents have been killed or something. I'm a kid and this has really opened my eyes. I want to know how kids feel about them being a refugee. I really like it a lot.

Thanks :)

Thank you so much to the creator of this app,that I can experience in such a minute way what being a refugee involves...it's so heart breaking to realize how great of a life we have in developed countries and how much I take for granted. I hope in the future I can be as honored as you to work with the United Nations aid organization or equivalent so that I can help in this amazing outreach to innocent people in such unfortunate circumstances. Thanks so much again for your amazing support and benefits to people like me to experience this app :)
