"As a Political Science student focusing on comparative government, this app is an incredible resource. It clarifies the complexities of the Swiss multi-party system and direct democracy with great precision. Having official data from the Federal Chancellery directly on my iPad is far superior to searching through unofficial websites for my thesis."
