So, you know the little note icon in the top left that tells you if you have homework?
An android, there's no easy way, at least that we've found, to mouse over it; which is fine for what it does right now, since it gets a little notification mark when you do have homework.
However, the money and day:time tabs on the right side suffer from this, as there's no easy way to pop them open and keep them open for reading on mobile.

We had an idea of combining the homework icon and the day:time button into a single button that uses the calendar icon, that serves the following functions:
• Shows the past month(optional), current month, and next month (month names optional)
• Show's the current stage of the current day via a horizontal line on the current day (at the top is morning, the upper half is "midday", the lower half is evening, and the bottom is night.
• Shows what day homework is due (if you get homework on Friday, it'd be due Monday
• Shows the days you've promised to spend time with people, and puts an icon (perhaps the character's head?) at the top, upper half, lower half, or bottom depending on when you need to meet them.
• An icon in one of the corners of a day to let you know what day you need to buy cat food (when you have a cat).
• An icon in a different corner of the days when the rent is due, that also tells you how much you'll owe.

That is all quite a bit of additional graphics and work, so even if you are going to add it, we don't expect it any time soon. We just have terrible memory and often forget when we've promised to meet someone, and with no way to check, we are prone to set up to meet multiple NPCs at the same time.

We also had an idea to include how much money you have with the rest of your stats, instead of having it all by itself.

Having them as tabs that slide onto the screen is a good idea; but it would help if you tap\click the tabs to have them slide open, which pauses dialogue progression (so tapping doesn't progress the dialogue and auto stops progressing text as well) until you tap the tab at the side of the extended… page? to slide it back offscreen until only the tab shows again.
Which, again, we don't expect to be added anytime soon if you decide to add it, due to the amount of extra work we imagine to be involved with implementing such features.

The android version is a port of the PC version right now so there are going to be some issues when it comes to mouse-related functions.
When we get to closer to 1.0 and start further polishing the game up we'll definitely consider your suggestions on this.
