What sort of application is the "councellor" app? Are there any videos?
One of the most common bits of feedback I got from my alpha testing was that the UI is not immediately intuitive. I have met with 2 of the alpha testers in the past week and they were running through what they wanted to see. When I showed them that it was already there, they basically said "well, that's not obvious". After I showed them, I asked if it made sense the way it is and I got a 100% yes - but it only made sense once I showed them how it worked.
Based on Grim's feedback, you might benefit from the same. Nobody wants to read rulebooks. It also seems that nobody wants to watch how-to videos either. So, we as game developers need to find the middle-ground that gives the users the right level of handholding early on, without forcing them to sit through several hours of learning.
A tall order when your rulebook is over 100 pages long ...
