### 4/5 — A Wholesome MacOS Classic!

*2021-04-04, version 1.6.2*

Great game! I remember playing this many moons ago on OS 9. Thank you for this! Sometimes the random generator algorithm seems not so random, but after 250 hours, perhaps I have seen it all.

The only bug is during the card swapping phase at the beginning. If, at any point during the swapping phase, you exit from the game (because you accidentally hit a notification from another app), the game is frozen and you must start a new game. Very unfortunate if you are on a winning streak.

Otherwise, great game!

### 4/5 — Good Nostalgic Card Game

*2021-01-26*

Great as a reminder how to play the game. I find the voices and sound effects to be fun. It’s nice to have setting options and preferences since many people play the game differently. The only change I would make is having the players “change seats” as in the real game. Also, I’d play much more and recommend the game to others if there was a multi-player option (private or public room). 
It’s the multi-player option that has me playing Exploding Kittens much more than this one.

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-08-12*

The only reason it gets 4 stars is the voices. It's so annoying the jokes are stupid but if you mute the game ! Amazing!

### 4/5 — Dope app, but can be even better.

*2013-03-14*

This app is amazing because there are no better President apps on the app store. I love it but the sounds effects are really stupid and it's not very interesting to look at eyes on a black background. Please add online capabilities and the option to "burn" cards so I feel like I've gotten my moneys worth.

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2013-02-06*

Only three stars due to it being too easy even on hard. That would bring it to four stars! Adding option for 'burning' would give this ten stars!!!! (If it was possible)

### 4/5 — Love the app!

*2012-10-27, version 1.5*

Been playing this app on iPhone 5 ios 6 and am hooked!
The app is great!
I only went with 4 stars though because its been a long while since there has been any sort of update. 
I would really like to see an update in the very near future!
I think this app has lots of potential, lots!!!
Some rule making after 3rd presidency would be very cool!
Also a basic update could allow skips. 

One thing that annoys me is when someone plays a 2 it goes around the table again?
Kinda annoying since there's no way to beat a 2. Seems like a waste of time. 
I've always played that after a 2 is played it clears the board and you play again. Essentially this is what this app does but it goes around again?
Not the end of the world but slightly annoying. 
I do love the statistics and hope to never see this removed in future updates as I'm a stats kinda guy. 
I'm basically giving this app 5 stars in the write up but 4 officially. 
The developer really should update this app and soon!
The app has an amazing foundation to be built upon!
Probably the best ahole app out. 
Period. 
Online play would be sweet too!
There's just so much that can and should be done with this app. 
I would urge people if interested to buy this app and help support a fun and entertaining game!

### 3/5 — Fun game but needs better programming

*2012-09-26*

Cool app, funny, but I feel like the programmers of the game haven't spent a lot of time playing it in rl.  ie: to me it's pretty obvious that if there is only 2 players left with 2 cards each, you should put your highest card first, not lowest. Or if you are about to finish and you have a joker and any other card, you'll put the joker first, not the other way around...
The game would be more fun and challenging if it was programmed better cause right now (unless I have the worst cards) its very hard to loose.

### 3/5 — Update required

*2012-08-03*

A.I. needs improvement. All moves are predictable. Two deck option would be nice. And I agree. Multiplayer needed.

### 4/5 — So close!

*2012-06-18, version 1.5*

Options that need to be added:

1. If you clear it w/ a "two" you get to go again.
2. (allow to play the same card) If you play the same card as the last person it should skip the next person.
3. If you can complete all four same cards and it clears and you get to go again. (ie: if you had 3 threes in your hand you could play them on a single three)

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2012-04-18*

This game lacks the "runs" or "burn" option not to mention there's no multiplayer either.

### 3/5 — Lots of fun but....

*2012-04-07*

The A.I on hard is still pretty easy

The interface could definitely use some graphical updates

Multiplayer would make me give this a 5.

### 4/5 — Good

*2012-01-30*

Love this app I just wish 'burns' were an option

### 4/5 — Good game

*2012-01-23*

Good game but if u close it during the exchange of cards at the start of a round, the game freezes when u come back in.

### 1/5 — Waste of a Dollar

*2014-06-28, version 1.6.1*

The rules are no where near the real game. Bummer!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2011-11-06*

This just doesn't feel like a finished product. Bad layout and annoying sounds.

### 1/5 — sucky

*2011-06-22, version 1.5*

dont waste the 99 cents. nothing like the real game.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2011-06-01, version 1.5*

This game is awful. Nothing like the real game

### 2/5 — No skipping?

*2014-04-16, version 1.6.1*

Why can't you play the same single card as the player ahead of you? There's no "skipping" in this game. If a comp plays a 9 and I have a 9 I should be able to play that 9 to skip the player to my left.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2013-07-29*

Its an okay app. Really annoying that you have to tap card at the bottom and then "play" at the top.. Not very fun. Rules are weird to what I'm used to playing, not enough options to tweak rules. Gameplay is way too fast. You need to card count in this game and it doesn't allow you to see cards that have been played. 

Not really worth the dollar but thanks for trying.

### 2/5 — Issues

*2012-05-19, version 1.5*

if player one plays a 3 and you play a 4 and players 3 + 4 pass, the game clears and you can place whatever card you want.Furthermore, you cannot play a consecutive cards so their are no skips.

### 2/5 — Lovecardgames

*2012-02-11, version 1.5*

This is a fun and addictive game. The sounds are so funny, unfortunately the sound in this game keeps going out.

### 3/5 — Freezing

*2021-06-19*

If you leave the game during a period of time it freezes when you get back. That is annoying lol because you have to start over. Please try to fix this

### 3/5 — Needs to improve the code

*2014-08-31, version 1.6.1*

I love this game - and probably spent the most time playing it than any one out there - programming needs to make game bit smarter - the basic flaw with game is this - let's say there are only two players remaining - me and the computer player - let's say I have only one card Jack and the computer player has two cards - a Queen and  a 3 . And let's say its computer turn to lead - instead of playing first the queen first and then three thus making me loose the game - it will play 3 first to which I can throw down my Jack and beat the computer - let each computer player also remember how many cards have been played and "pass" when necessary instead of always blindly playing the lowest card - that is not how you run the game - because of this basic flaw even at hardest  setting I win more than 70% of the time - I am sure developer can see my stats via Game Center

Update - August 31 2014
Pls pls pls fix the - lowest card playing at any given instance by the computer players - for the reason I listed above. Have computer players count the cards pass when necessary - Make it bit smarter 

Secondly the game locks up occasionally specially if you try to switch  the app like taking a call during the play and resuming.

Third - those wise cracks at the end of the game is starting to get annoying make an option to switch it off.

### 5/5 — Had this app forever!

*2017-03-21*

Downloaded this as one of the first apps I got on my first iDevice. Decided to post a review because I still love it and it deserves kudos for it's fun and simplicity. No internet needed either so always playable!

### 5/5 — Still a Classic!

*2016-11-14, version 1.6.2*

Perfect port of the old Mac OS game.

### 5/5 — Thinking man's Game

*2014-10-27*

Don't let the "drinking game" write-up, fool you. You have to play the game, and theirs a good challenge. The only knock is that the game needed a multi-player environment, yesterday! Update it and they will come.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2014-06-03*

Love this game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-02-04*

Great game fellas but lets get some updates and make it less predictable

### 5/5 — Great reproduction of the old Mac OS version

*2013-01-03, version 1.5*

Really brought back some memories of the old Mac version I hadn't played in over 10 years. It seems that most of the issues people are saying have to do with the rules of the game, not the app itself.  There are so many variations of the game it would be impossible to include them all.  I think what's in the app is a good amount of variation without going overboard. Very addictive.

### 5/5 — Very fun!

*2012-11-28*

Hehe dude you wont believe I have 905 hours wasted lol.  I like it : )

I agree with other comments, an update would be cool, with 2 decks option, custom background and maybe multiplayer.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2012-03-01*

This is the best app I have bought yet!  My hope is that it can be played with wi-FI so I can beat human players too and the option for multiple decks.
Have spent many hours playing this game both in high school and since I bought the app.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-01-28*

Really fun! Also the guys r very funny the only thing that could make this better is an online mode :)

### 5/5 — nice:)

*2011-12-17*

@female gamer.  it's because when you president you win 2 points and vice-president is 1 etc..  the goal is to have 4 points but if you go on the game settings you can change the 4 for another number ( highest is 8 ).     4.5/5 cause this game is really funny but don't have a online mode:(.  Yer vrmt bon acheter moi ca:)
