What Makes President: Simulator Game Stand Out
PRESIDENT: SIMULATOR GAME
Take the Oval Office in the White House and keep it. In this tap-easy office simulator you are the president—campaign boss, deal-maker and crisis fixer. Run the government, pass bold policy, win every vote and protect that magic 270. Can you save Mr President, save the president from being impeached and win the White House again, or will rivals crush you in ruthless politics and war?
WHY PLAY
• Lead the nation: drive sweeping reforms, steady a restless cabinet, prove you’re the leader this country needs.
• Instant choices: tap Yes/No on bills, fire ministers, issue quick orders—small moves, huge impact.
• The election clock never stops. Raise cash, shape the next campaign, survive razor-thin run-offs.
• Live world map: sanctions or trade, troops or treaties—pure diplomacy or raw force.
• Two paths: shining republic and democracy—or ruthless dictator forging an empire.
• Become a White House tycoon—balance revenue, debt and growth like the sharpest boss games.
KEY MOMENTS
• Budget crashes, data leaks, oil shocks, coups—act fast and the world reacts.
• Social feed erupts with protests and memes; spin the story or get buried.
• Smarter rivals: the longer the president rules, the sharper media, courts and parliament.
• Recruit or sack advisers—top lawyer, media strategist, chief economist, cyber-security guru.
• Balance taxes, welfare, defense on a clean dashboard; watch GDP, prices and debt move live.
• Offline gains: upgrade ministries, media, security; prestige into fresh scenarios—fragile startup or iron-fist House of Power.
Love iCivics, Politics and War, tycoon hits or other boss games? Draft the law, call the shot, write the headline.
You are Mr President—rule wisely, or history votes you out.

Community Insight:
This app has potential. Ad removal being behind a paywall is nothing new. Paying for extra money is nothing new, even Monopoly GO does that. The thing is, games that do it also allow you to earn your income through either watching ads or waiting for a set time. Ive combed through developer responses, they have been false. There is a point where story progression is a hard stop unless you spend money to get coins or diamonds. So you are limited unless you spend money for in-game currency. We love the concept of this, the game is pretty decent. However, the is game can never be great until the paywall for progress is removed. Eliminate that, or include free income alternatives such as set timers to wait, watch ads to gain money- then it will be worth our time. As of now, Im disappointed in what we find to be wasted potential. Something with the potential to be great, hindered by a poor business model. Do better, listen to the complaints and feedback of others; and we may consider redownloading it.
Game keeps pausing/freezing on Iphone 17 pro.
Keeps freezing after first post as president.
We were playing this game for the first time, and we were very locked in into the story mode, and then BLAM! We get hit with a decision to pay for something as President, but the thing is, we dont have enough money to pay for any of them. Our only way to progress in the story mode is to use our REAL money to purchase more in-game money. We do not use our own money when playing games, and while we understand why you have to pay for it and stuff, we think that you should not easily run out of money, and if you do, there could be alternatives rather than paying your real-money. Thank you, we love your game.
Nice game but you should have ads for players to watch to gain money. To much for out of pocket. It adds up.
It would have been a 5 star review if the presidents social media posts would stop crashing making us stuck in the game therefore making us delete the game because we couldnt progress in the game past the social media section.
Enjoyable story with many options we just became locked at a point in the story where we didnt have enough money to make any decision unless we were to pay real money which we wont do on a mobile game.
Eventually you have to spend money to keep going, regardless of the story you create. Great game but not worth our time because you have to spend money to keep going at one point or another. Without free income the game cant really go anywhere.
Its a fun game to play but Im not gonna spend our own money on it every 5 mins to do this or that or have to buy diamonds just because someone doesnt like the decision you make the money in the game runs out way to quick and doesnt seem like it ever replenishes.
The game itself has potential and is pretty decent and fun we might add but eventually you will get stuck to where you are forced to use real money in oder to make a decision in the game to continue playing.
The game itself is fun but everything in this game costs a lot of in game currency which you need to top off with real money and there is no way to earn money or progress without doing so which we dont appreciate, we might be more inclined to spend money if there was a free way to earn or if the in game currency stretched further. 100M will get you maybe two days of solid game play for $15. Yikes.
The game content itself is good and entertaining which is why its worth it to leave this review. The devs leave what seems like an automated reply to reviews that call out the game for being a pay to play game with no alternatives to earning in game currency. This game is a SCAM for your money! If you do not pay you WILL NOT be able to continue playing past the first 20 minutes or so of gameplay. They will reply saying that different paths cost less money however no matter how you slice it, youll have to pay weekly to play this game. Youd eventually pay hundreds a year to play. And choosing a pathway that is cheap east is not a good excuse. This is a game where we get to make choices as president, whats the fun in being forced to make choices we dont want to make just to avoid paying money? Make it make sense. Again, the first 20 minutes of gameplay content is great. This would probably be a very successful and popular game if the devs werent trying to scam people out of their money. Its a shame. DO NOT BOTHER DOWNLOADING.
The game is very fun. Very intriguing concept. But like all the other reviews, there is a big issue with forcing your players to spend real money to progress in the game. You say there are alternative storylines that require less spending, but regardless of which storylines you choose, eventually youll hit a wall and run out of money because you have not implemented a way to earn money in the game. So much potential, poor execution fueled by greed. Take your money from the ads and ad blocker purchase. The micro transactions and the time skipper. Let your community play the game and the story after that. Trust us when we say this, you will lose most of your players with this story ending game restarting pay wall.
Beautiful game. Wish you didnt need to spend money for the game to continue after 40mins of playing.
Plain and simple. If they wanted to develop a game that makes you so excited that youd continue to play and spend money for years, theyd have tried so much harder. As it is, you get to the point where you pay for the subscription to get by timers and ads and then BAM – you need presidential cash. These developers are not here for the long haul.
Game has potential but to get anywhere you will half to spend to get anywhere in the game.
Its a cool game, the dialogue could be better. Also it cost a ton just to play. Not a fan. Worth a try though. Thanks, but no thanks.
Game is interesting choice base but you spend a hour playing to hit a pay wall. Cannot go further without buying find. We have tried many different routes of choices and always ends up the same.
You get to a point where there is no way out of spending real money to continue the game. Just really awful and sad. Maybe give an option to watch a video to get more in-game resources, or heaven forbid, give a daily bonus or something. All you are doing is pissing people off.
This game should not be pay to play. You can keep the ads and etc but please make it so we receive a certain amount of money every week or something so its not a pay to play game. Have a donation system in the game where we can raise funds or something. Pay to play games arent fun. We guarantee youll have a lot more downloads and players if you remove pay to play.
Its fun but cmon let us watch videos for money and diamonds. Ive spent $15 already (5 to keep playing and 10 for diamonds). Now Im out of money for the mental health crisis.
Too much ads and it makes you spend your own money they do that on purpose.
The game starts you off with 100 million but that goes fast! Taking cheaper options results in failure. No matter what you do, you can not earn more money in the game without spending real world money. Its a trap. Move on.
We understand having in app purchases, we do. We expected it. What we didnt expect was to need to spend your own money every 5 seconds to keep the game going. Yall need to add some treasury money more often. As much as we enjoyed playing, im not continuing until its more reasonable.
Really fun we love it and we just downloaded it.
Its really fun and we love the concept. But you're stuck after a while and foreced to spend quite a bit of you're own money if you want to keep playing. We were stuck with 7.5 mil and our cheapest option for the bill was 18 mil. The only purchasing options to make that work was going to cost us at least $10 that we don't have to spend on a game. There is also not a way that you can earn money in the game or a way that replenishes your money.
This game has A LOT of potential. Its really fun and actually educational but youre forced to spend money in order to enjoy the game. We dont recommend it.
The game is fun and fast paced. If you pay the $40 a year, you get to skip the wait on ads. If you run out of money, there is zero ways to earn more unless you buy with your real money. Fix this and we'll come back to play this game, until then we're uninstalling.
How long do we have to wait for a new chapter? Ive bought the premium already.
We like the idea of the game, seems fun to play. There's a lot of ads, but it's manageable. The issue is, there are several points where you are forced to spend money. You start with $100M, but the cheapest option is usually around $30-40M and the only way to earn.
Games interesting but it has chapters and a 45 minute cool down between unless you want to pay and the chapters arent that long either.
We like the idea of the game, seems fun to play. Theres a lot of ads, but its manageable. The issue is, there are several points where you are forced to spend money. You start with $100M, but the cheapest option is usually around $30-40M and the only way to earn money is to purchase more in the shop. An option to watch ads to earn $ should be implemented.
The game as well thought out. And if you like this type of game its fun. But after every episode you either have to pay five dollars for a week or $40 for a year of no adds and if you dont wanna do that then you have to watch five ads to go to the next episode. There comes a point in the game where it tells you you dont have enough money to do the next step. No matter what you pick and wants you to buy game money with real money.Which would probably be OK if it was five or $10 but they want $39.99 for you to progress through The Game. So basically this is a pay to play game. Dont waste your money.
We like this game we think it is well thought out, but it definitely has a couple of issues. For one you spend a lot of time just waiting to progress. For instance after making it through an episode you have to wait 45 minutes to see the results and then another 45 minutes to move onto another episode. You could also watch 5 ads to skip the time, but again why would someone want to do that. Secondly, you can't get past a certain point in the game without either starting over or paying A LOT of money irl. For example, we've accumulated over 3 million dollars in the game but we cannot progress because it says we, "don't have enough money to make this step." That would be fine if it cost $5-$10 to move on; however, in order to have enough money in game it recommends that we pay $39.99 irl. That is absolutely ridiculous!! So our overall comment is that unless you have unlimited time and money, we wouldn't waste the limited on this app.
