If you are competitive, this game will be perfect for you. I have been playing it for hours and LOVE seeing my candidate win more votes. This is the next angry birds or draw something… but educational and relevant to current events! ### 5/5 — A game that's fun on many levels *2012-04-25* This is a great little game that has lots of fun strategizing elements, but also because it's a simulator, got me thinking about how the real candidate players are playing their campaigns right now. Fun for everyone, great for kids! ### 5/5 — Fun and Educational! *2012-04-21* This app is great! Both easy to play and educational, there should be more apps like this. And what a perfect time to come out just before the election. This is the type of game we should all get our kids addicted to...not slingshot birds or pictionary. Highly recommend for kids and adults. Political minds or not, the game is a quick learn and a rather quick play in fantasy mode. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2012-04-21* If you like politics, you will love this game. The idea is refreshing and unique, and the graphics are slick. I liked it so much i bought all the in app stuff. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Simplistic *2012-05-14* This game is far too simplistic. All you do is decide whether to play a fundraising card or campaign cards. Since you only get one card per turn, you don't really make any decisions. No real strategy, since you can only campaign on an issue on your card. Also, no polling info, just a colored map and the choice of vice president was very limited (just four). "President Elect" a game from over 30 years ago was far more advanced. Maybe future updates will improve the game depth. ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2012-04-25* It isn't a good game at all. There's been better games then this one. Not fun at all, ### 2/5 — Terrific game *2012-06-16* Just a couple of suggestions: 1. Adapt it to the new retina resolution. The cards would be easier to read. 2. When playing solo don't spin the map around, but bring the opposing candidate and his cards right side up, so we can see what he's doing better. 3. Let the final vote map be full screen. Thanks for a great game (5 stars with these inprovements) ### 2/5 — Ok but pointless *2012-06-13* I was disappointed in this game. I gave it 2 stars because I was entertained for an hour. Unfortunately, once I actually figured out how to play I determined there is no strategy involved... at all. This game has nothing to do with elections, and is a pretty random simulator where you turn in cards for results. I was hoping it would be similar to this old election sim I played on the Mac years ago. Oh well, it wasn't a terrible experience. ### 3/5 — Fun but vote map doesn't work *2012-10-08* Fun and enjoyable game. Only complaint is that during the results you cannot view the map, it's just black. Fix that and it's at least 4 stars. ### 3/5 — Good but unrealistic *2012-06-19* U need to be able to do more then 1 thing a month and the party's need to go after the small states instead of just fighting for Texas Florida and California. Need more turns and more realism in this game the smaller states are worthless ### 4/5 — Good game but.... *2015-10-27* This is a good game but please update candidates like, John Kasich, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki, Lindsey Graham, and Rick Santorum. ### 4/5 — Best election simulator for iPad! *2012-07-19* A fun and educational game; really nicely presented and easy to learn. My only (slight) gripe is with the end results. I wish you could get a state by state summary of vote totals, as well as a running national tally of the popular vote. ### 4/5 — Not bad, but could be better *2012-04-30* It's odd that there aren't more games like this for the iPad, or in general. I like the general idea of the game, but would love to see a bit more complexity added. After several games, your strategy more or less devolves into pouring money into California, Texas, Florida, and New York. It's almost as if there's no point in trying to campaign in the other 46 states. ### 5/5 — Please Update! *2016-07-29* I love this game, but I would like to have 3rd party options. Also the conventions are over and the both candidates are in the game but not their VPs. Why is it when I play a game in 2016 not all the candidates from the year are able to be chosen like Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina. Another thing is I would like is if you would add every candidate from the years because if I play as Romney in 2012 and he wins I want to have him to have Paul Ryan as his VP in 2016. Something I would definitely pay for is if you added a make your own where you make the map and can make your own candidates. Thank you! I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in politics! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ¡2016! *2015-09-30* Loved the app before 2016 campaign. Love it even more now. ### 5/5 — I love this *2015-06-19* This a good app I would personally like to see 3 more scenarios such as 1976,1988,and 1992 ### 5/5 — Good App *2013-07-11* The app is really fun but I think your lacking in the past elections. I think, as a conservative, that you should add Reagan vs Jimmy Carter and Reagan vs Mondale. I would definitely buy those 2 elections ### 5/5 — Nice!!! *2013-03-30* I used to have a similar game on my pc. This game is addictive and always interesting no matter who you pick. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2012-06-03* Fun game if you enjoy politics and also very educational. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2012-05-28* I really enjoy playing this game with my kids - it really helps to educate them about electoral votes and what types of events might help sway specific states to change their voting preference. We love it!! ### 5/5 — Political fun! *2012-05-13* What a fun game for the political junkies and their friends! Interactive, humorous, educational and strategic. Who could ask for more?! ### 5/5 — Politics meets fun *2012-05-01* It took me a second to get the mechanics, but then it clicked and I really loved trying to outsmart the opposing side. It's a thinker's game. If you are into politics and board games, give this one a shot. You'll be glad you did. Looking forward to taking on a few more contenders! ### 5/5 — Amazing, Educational, and Fun! *2012-04-30* The perfect game for educators and students who want to make learning about presidential elections fun. It incorporates geography, politics, and strategy. A great app for the whole family to play together too! Love, love, love this app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
