Fuck Apple but honestly this app is like trying to stay warm with matches in Antarctica.

Fuck Apple and I'd prefer matches in Antarctica to no matches in Antarctica.

You might want to read Den Lille Pige med Svovlstikkerne (spoiler alert : it doesn't work).

I don't want to read it either. Are you implying that ICEblock isn't worth downloading? In your own words, why or why not?

1.) I can't even read the title, 2.) I still want the matches. I'm not saying I'll use the matches themselves, but who knows, maybe I find wood or whale blubber to burn or something. Just give me the matches, please.

Surprise you can't search without speaking the language but OK, easier https://www.gutenberg.org/files/32571/32571-h/32571-h.htm#Page_117 about 2 pages. Also I'm not crying. /s

I admit it wasn't at all what I expected. I thought it was going to be some account of an Arctic explorer dying or similar. It makes my point, though. If the little girl had perhaps thought to go find some dry kindling or a whale carcass, it might have been a very different story. That's all I'm trying to say.
