I am just wondering when the second version is coming. It also only lets you have 4 parties which is a little annoying and you can’t have a spectator mode. In general it’s a good game it would be better if it was updated more often though. ### 4/5 — WHERE IS 2020 *2020-04-25, version 1.2.0* WHERE IS 2020 ### 4/5 — Primaries *2020-01-25* Please add the primaries to make the game more realistic and enjoyable. Primaries are my favorite part of any election so could this election year of 2020 add primaries? ### 4/5 — Love this game, needs improvement though *2018-11-19* As a political nerd I absolutely love this game. A few changes I’d like to see made are a create your own candidate, you can choose their looks, name, and political platform. Please lower the prices for extra candidates to $.99. $4 is a rip off. Also I think state voter history should be applied. It should be more difficult for a Republican to win California and a Democrat Texas. Other than that it’s a great game. ### 4/5 — Great, but some room for improvement *2018-01-27, version 1.2.0* Overall a great game, though I have a few suggestions. 1) Primaries One way that this game could be infinitely better is with primaries. As a history buff myself, I’ve always wanted to see the process of a candidate getting the delegates he or she needed to get so they could receive their parties nomination. You could even do what President Infinity does and have three different screens for each party primary and the general election that can be toggled on and off. 2) Early Vote and Realistic vote tallying Another thing, the election apparatus is a little below par. Don’t get me wrong, it is the best on IOS, however, there are some improvements to be made. Have the results of an election come in slowly, a little bit at a time. It makes election night more intriguing, whereas right now, the experience gets a little bland after the first few games. 3) Debates Even if it’s just opposition research and issue research, it would be an improvement. The debates right now are ok, however, they don’t really penalize a candidate for not being prepared that much. Have the option for debate practice each week and issue research, and have there be real consequences for doing poorly in a debate. 4) Endorsements Maybe the largest part of a real election that is missing here is endorsements. While the invocation of this game may be overused now, you could do something like what President Infinity does and have there be points allotted weekly that could be used toward endorsements. This kinda goes hand-in-hand, be surrogates would be another good addition. Having the candidates spouse or friend go out and campaign would help when a candidate is behind and needs to make up ground Right now, I think that these additions would be perfect to keep the community surrounding this game enthusiastic. It certainly would for me, a member of the community for a few years now. ### 4/5 — Better than it looks but... *2018-01-13* It’s a great game but complicated. ### 4/5 — Smart and addictive *2016-12-16* The interface is impressive and it's fascinating to watch my dollars translate into state wins. Can you please add split view? That would be useful. Glad you can watch the results come in without the stupid electoral college. ### 4/5 — Great Game! *2016-12-10* My only complaints is the lack of more real scenarios and the lack of having any primaries other than that it's a great election game. ### 4/5 — Add primary simulator *2016-12-03* Can you add the presidential primary simulator to the app? It would be nice to play a character during the primary such as the Iowa caucus etc. it would feel like a real presidential election game we are playing ### 4/5 — A few suggestions *2016-10-12, version 1.1.0* I can tell that the game programmers are clearly are clearly biased towards Hillary, but if you could change just one thing I would like you to add a game mode where America uses the alternative voting system rather than first past the post and the electoral college. If you need more information on what that is cgp grey has some great YouTube videos about it. ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2016-08-09, version 1.1.0* You've portrayed Trump as the 'bad' candidate, and corrupt Clinton as the good one (i.e. Smiling, much higher candidate quality, etc.). You've also got funding scores wrong. Clinton should have around 370 mil, and Trump around 100 mil. Get your facts straight and stop being biased. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable Game *2016-06-07, version 1.0.3* This is a pretty fun and entertaining game. It would be better if you could more customize your political stances, change the actual states' political views, and play some more historical scenarios. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-03-27, version 1.0.3* Plz make an update for the 2016 election and maybe have primary's! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful User Interface, not even worthy of being on the App Store *2017-07-01* The UI is garbage, and the game is completely biased: You can only be Hillary Clinton not Trump or any of the other candidates. Whoever designed this game should revoke this game from the App Store. I found a better election game, FOR FREE. ### 1/5 — Not What I expected..... *2016-11-11, version 1.2.0* Not a good App. Wasted 3.99! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-11-29, version 1.0.3* Can't even tell if the game is good or not, all it does is crash. ### 1/5 — It's trash *2015-08-20, version 1.0.3* Don't waist your money, it's trash ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-07-18, version 1.0.3* Reminds me of a bad DOS game in a tablet format. ### 2/5 — Confused *2016-08-12, version 1.1.0* I can't seem to do anything, I don't understand what's going on at all. ### 3/5 — Make a 2020 edition *2020-10-30* It’s the best political game out there but it’s outdated. Update the polls! ### 3/5 — Yes *2020-03-15, version 1.2.0* Love it... but... it’s very long and complicated... ### 3/5 — Game Feedback *2020-01-05* It said $3.99 but you guys took off $4.34? I’m confused. I’m wondering if I can get a refund if I choose to delete it! ### 3/5 — Needs update *2016-02-04, version 1.0.3* Perhaps primaries? And a 2016 option would make this game much more fun ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update it or make one for 2020, please *2020-08-18* I love this game please make one for 2020 or update it for 2020 please! ### 5/5 — Great Game! Here are My Conncerns *2019-07-29* I like the game, but here are some ideas. Allow more options in the platform. Keep the history of the players’ elections, including running mates, electoral maps, percentages, etc., so that stories can be made. This is my most important issue. Also, be keeping the partisanship of each state active. Other than these things, a great app! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-02-06* Exactly what I was looking for. Could use an update for 2020, which I would definitely buy. All around great game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-07-19* Make a Congress version of this app and please do a primary version ### 5/5 — Amazing, needs more! *2017-10-22* You should make an app like this for Senate, House, and Governor. Also, a primary map would be nice ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2017-07-08* Great strategic game with many different scenarios ### 5/5 — Needs Updates To Make It More Realistic *2017-07-02* Great game. Best election game I have ever played. I suggest that this game is given a GOP, Democrat, Libertarian, and GRN Party primary. Also I think it should have to more candidate slots (i.e. One for Darell Castle of the Constitution Party and one for Evan McMullin of the Independent Party). Also more platform issues such as Combating Terrorism and the Justice System. Also I would like to know the number of votes I get in each state and total not just the percentage. Lastly it would be cool if maybe added scenarios where you run for congress, senate, and governor. But this game really needs primaries above all! Please add them! ### 5/5 — 5-stars from a tough reviewer *2017-02-23* All-around excellent game. Easy to learn and just as easy to play. The AI advisor is definitely helpful. Could use some minor tweaks tho. The platforms are too general, they should be along a scale instead of a left-right option. There needs to be a approval rating. Just because voters have heard of you doesn't mean they like you. It could use a signature issue option such as health care, immigration, etc. There should also be the option to hire specific staff that serve as a multiplier for the AI advisor. Also, a feature that allowed for a specific political base would add much greater nuance. And, finally, we should know the total votes cast not just the percentage to the tenth. Either than those minor concerns a fantastic game. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-11-19* This is one of the better Election/Campaign simulator type apps. It perfectly portrays the little aspects which make it even more realistic, but also is terrific on the Big, more stand-out aspects. Overall, one of the best, if not, THE best ### 5/5 — Title *2016-04-16, version 1.0.3* 50x better than any other election game on any device. As close as you can come to actually running for office. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
