Absolutely Awesome Game with Significant Performance Issues

First off, the actual game is fantastic. I can honestly say it is a top three board game for me, if not number one. The concerns I have below are in no way related to the actual gameplay.

The app itself, on an iPad Mini Retina, is pretty well laid out. The graphics are good and the interface is at least okay. The lack landscape mode is absolutely ridiculous. I believe the rationale is that the real-life game board is vertical, and they want to be "true to the original." Thats just silly. The original was played on cardboard too--why make an app at all? A vertical layout doesnt work with most kick stands and cases, and also feels more cramped.

The game also has a pretty bad frame rate and lags for up to a minute after being minimized and reopened.
