The Reform Party's official mobile application reached No. 1 on the Apple App Store's business category popularity chart just one day after its launch.

According to the Reform Party on the 15th, the application released the previous day climbed to the top of the business category, surpassing major government public applications such as "Employment 24" and "Defense Mobile Security."

Lee Jun-seok, leader of the Reform Party, shared the news on Facebook, writing, "I've achieved the App Store No. 1 ranking that I couldn't accomplish when running a company," and adding, "Rapid party membership growth and activation make developers dance."

The application features a function that allows party members to apply as voting observers and ballot-counting observers. The Reform Party expects this feature to enhance transparency in election management. In addition, party membership registration and dues payment can be completed through the application without any separate complex procedures.

The Reform Party also plans to introduce next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) services to the currently released application to provide "customized information" optimized for party members.

"The AI service runs directly on the user's device without going through the cloud, eliminating any separate communication cost burden," the Reform Party explained. "It also boasts security without any concerns about conversation content being leaked externally."

"The achievement of reaching No. 1 across the entire App Store just one day after launch is a symbolic event showing that the Reform Party has evolved into a 'platform party' on a different level from existing political parties," the party emphasized. "Going forward, we will realize true digital democracy in which party members become the agents of party operations through the platform."
