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.

I was playing this game for the first time, and I was very locked in into the story mode, and then BLAM! I get hit with a decision to pay for something as President, but the thing is, I don’t have enough money to pay for any of them. My only way to progress in the story mode is to use my REAL money to purchase more in-game money. I do not use my own money when playing games, and while I understand why you have to pay for it and stuff, I 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, I love your game!
Fun game but…
Players Alert!
This is a really fun game to play with different scenarios to go with. You start out with $100m signing laws and enforcing policies for your administration. HOWEVER, you hit a certain point in the story line where you don’t have the funds anymore and would have to spend actual money to progress in your game. I’ve tried multiple ways playing this game from playing it the right way, to paying all the most expensive options, to least expensive options, even tried purposely making all the wrong decisions and I still hit this money wall where I would need to spend actual money to continue playing. I understand the ad free option and paying for the premium. But if I try not to go with spending money, I still have to restart and try again. The game developer may not care about this review but people actually looking for a game to enjoy, please don’t waste your time playing this game. Unless if they do care, then they need to make it where the president can be able to receive funds often so we can continue to discover new stories and new adventures. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Here’s the thing

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. I’ve 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. I 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 my time. As of now, I’m disappointed in what I 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 I may consider redownloading it.

Really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. The game is built around trying different story paths—some are less costly and unlock new routes. That said, we hear you, and your suggestions are being passed to the team.
DON’T BOTHER DOWNLOADING

The game content itself is good and entertaining which is why it’s 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, you’ll have to pay weekly to play this game. You’d 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 I get to make choices as president, what’s the fun in being forced to make choices I don’t 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 weren’t trying to scam people out of their money. It’s a shame. DO NOT BOTHER DOWNLOADING.
Developer Response
Appreciate you taking the time to write this. We hear you. The game is built around choices, and we know it can feel limiting when money runs out. That’s why we’ve rebalanced a new chapter and added more flexible paths. Ads and timers can still be removed with a one-time purchase.
