### 5/5 — Good choice!

*2023-08-24*

A solid app! A lot of time went into this! it deserves more reviews then those left by frustrated school kids! Ha!

I have a couple notes:
     :1  a flip option?:  the app only has it set to guess the capital to the state. It would be nice if there was an option to guess the state to the capital.
     :2 no label on a link to developers website: it would be nice to give consent before being led to a random website that my browser labels as (not secure). I love learning about developers (and they seem nice!) but this spooked me for a second when those spooked vibes could have been avoided with an “about us” label or something:)!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-09-16*

I was trynna study for a test on state capitals for my eighth grade history class, but this was very confusing, and not to mention boring, it was like I was already taking a test.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.  The flash card mode hopefully will help studying before the other game modes (which will very much feel like a test, with or without a time limit).

### 1/5 — ⚠️ NO DO NOT GET ⚠️

NOOOOOO
