I was secretly hoping for it to be GarageBand, which I only discovered a few weeks ago after apparently having it on my phone for several years now. It's a fantastic little app that does things I couldn't have dreamt of ten years

App State is a cool liberal arts college renowned for being a party school back in the 90s, it's not Liberty University. I'm not sure this is much of a test for the partisan divide. (Boone is a great little town.)
