Warren Group app for iOS: City suggestions during sign up are perplexing

Warren Groups app for iOS (version 2.14.2)
Date: 05/01/2019

Description:

The suggested cities that the user is presented with during account creation are a bit odd. I've seen this with other apps, and I know that you are probably simply using a database API - but the suggested cities are especially strange for an app connected to a Presidential campaign.

For example, if the user types in Omaha, one would expect that Omaha, Nebraska, would be returned as the top suggestion.

Instead, typing in "Omaha" resulted in me seeing: two roads in New Zealand, a circle in Florida, and a drive in Texas. Take a look at this screenshot:


Here are some other odd suggestions.

A search for Boston does not return Boston....


A search for "Portland" should (IMO) bring back either the city in Oregon, or the city in Maine. Instead, a street in Manchester, England, is returned...

This is a search for "Honolulu"



Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Warren Groups app for iOS
2. Select "Sign Up"
3. Enter in a valid First Name, Last Name, and Email
4. Click inside of the "City & State" input box
5. Enter in the name of any number of cities

Result: The returned suggested cities during account registration with the Warren Groups app are bizarre - the top suggested cities are frequently not in the United States

Expected: The returned suggested cities should always be in the United States (I believe it could be a campaign finance violation to even suggest this)
