 BOOMER CALC - APP STORE SUBMISSION COPY/PASTE CONTENT
 ===============================================================================
 
+⚠️ REWRITTEN 2026-08-07 to match the ACTUAL app. Boomer Calc is a NOVELTY /
+COMEDY app: every calculation — across Calculator, Mortgage, BMI, and Tip modes —
+resolves to "67 ✨ Perfect! ✨" on purpose. The prior copy described a serious
+"no-frills calculator," which contradicts the binary and would be rejected under
+Guideline 2.3.1 (metadata must match the app). All customer- and reviewer-facing
+text below now tells the truth about the gag. The single most important field is
+the REVIEWER NOTE — without it a reviewer will see "125 + 50 = 67" and reject the
+app as broken (Guideline 4.2).
+
 This file contains all the text you need to copy and paste into App Store Connect.

 DESCRIPTION
 ===============================================================================
 
-Boomer Calc is a clean, no-frills calculator designed for simplicity and ease of use.
+Boomer Calc is the world's most confident calculator — and it has exactly one
+answer for everything: 67.
+
+Add, subtract, work out a mortgage payment, check your BMI, split a tip — punch in
+whatever you like. Boomer Calc will think it over, flash "Calculating…", and
+deliver the same flawless result every single time: 67. ✨ Perfect. ✨
 
-Features:
-• Clean, minimal interface
-• Basic arithmetic operations (+, -, ×, ÷)
-• Large, easy-to-read buttons
-• Instant calculations
-• No ads, no tracking, no nonsense
-• Works offline
+It's a joke. That's the app. If you were looking for correct arithmetic, this is
+not that. If you were looking for a gift for the one person in your life who
+insists they're "great with numbers," you found it.
 
-Perfect for quick calculations without unnecessary complexity. Just a calculator that does what it's supposed to do.
+WHAT YOU GET
+• Four official modes — Calculator, Mortgage, BMI, and Tip
+• One official answer — 67, delivered with total confidence
+• A dramatic "Calculating…" moment before every reveal
+• Big, friendly, easy-to-read buttons
+• No ads, no tracking, no sign-up
+• Works offline (67 is available even without a connection)
+
+Boomer Calc: because sometimes the answer you need isn't the right one — it's 67.

 Initial release of Boomer Calc!

-NOTES FOR REVIEWER
+NOTES FOR REVIEWER   ★ MOST IMPORTANT FIELD — DO NOT OMIT ★
 ===============================================================================
 
-Boomer Calc is a simple calculator app with basic arithmetic operations. No special configuration or testing steps required. Just open and use.
+Boomer Calc is an intentional NOVELTY / COMEDY app. By design, every calculation
+in every mode (Calculator, Mortgage, BMI, Tip) returns the same joke result — "67"
+— after a brief "Calculating…" animation. THIS IS THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE APP
+AND IS WORKING AS INTENDED. It is not a broken or malfunctioning calculator; the
+always-67 result is the humor. Please do not reject it as returning "incorrect"
+results — the incorrectness is the point (comparable to other established novelty/
+gag apps in the App Store).
+
+No account, no configuration, and no special steps are required — open the app,
+tap any buttons, and the 67 gag triggers immediately. All processing is local.
