Nothing happens ### 3/5 — One issue *2024-11-12* I really enjoy it as I did the first one. However the only buttons that work are the subscription VIP buttons. All the other rewarded ads won’t let you click. You can spend money though. Fix that and I’d be good. ### 3/5 — Fun game but can’t watch bonus ads *2024-07-28, version 1.010* I really enjoy the game, but the bonus ads don’t work. I push the button to get the 2x bonus or the eagle bonus but no ad plays. Nothing happens. ### 3/5 — Ads won’t work. *2024-07-13* I like the game. Same basic format as the first version which I liked but the developers quit working on I assume. It won’t play anymore. In this one the game won’t let me click on an ad to get the bonuses so things are very slow moving. Getting frustrating. I’d like to keep playing but getting frustrated with it. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2023-07-19* It is fun to play most of the time, but sometimes it can be a little boring because you’re waiting to get more money to reach a very purchase which could take awhile to complete also it should get another update. ### 3/5 — Can’t see $$ on iPhone *2022-02-10, version 1.010* I can not see how much money I have collected because the front camera placement on the iPhone 12 mini takes up the top 1/2 inch of the screen ### 3/5 — It was fun but.... *2021-08-01, version 1.010* Since I got the new iPhone I can’t see how much money I have. Which is pointless now if I can’t see how money I have. ### 2/5 — Issue with ads *2020-10-11, version 1.8* Recently I’ve had an issue with ads where they won’t load so i lose my bonuses. This game is pretty fun but losing the bonuses really affects progression. ### 4/5 — Now it works I’m loving it *2020-09-17, version 1.8* I’ve had to delete and reload the game 9 times and it finally lets me play it. Now I can play it I love it. ### 1/5 — The tutorial won’t even launch right *2020-09-15* I was a far of the original Pocket Politics game so I thought I’d give the new one a try. Well, the tutorial won’t even launch right. The trailer park is completely missing and the only thing it lets me do is select a candidate. Which is useless if I can’t collect money at all. I tried restarting the app, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and nothing worked. I’m highly frustrated, as well as sad because I was anticipating a great game. ### 1/5 — Broken? *2020-09-05, version 1.7* After I select my candidate, there’s nothing else to do. It appears the tutorial just stops and doesn’t do anything else. ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2020-09-04, version 1.7* Game starts but can’t click anything. No money bar nothing ### 4/5 — Great game after most recent update *2020-08-24* I had previously given a low rating as the game was a major waiting game. Now it has a good balance. There are times when I get a bunch done and then it it stalls so I have to come back to the game later. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is because there are still times when the goal is unreasonable for the level of the game. **Developer response:** Hey there, sorry to hear that you've been so frustrated with the game as you've progressed! We hear what you're saying about the manager requirements and the difficulty of events in particular, and we'll be passing your feedback on to the dev team for their review. Please also feel free to write us at http://kon.gg/PP2Help with any other thoughts you may have about the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not as fun as the first one *2023-11-09, version 1.010* I just recently got back into playing the first pocket politics then I stumbled across this one in search of the first one. I gave this one a try not near as fun. I saw great potential in it it’s just to slow compared to the first one. I still enjoy the first one much more. ### 1/5 — Progression *2021-05-26* I enjoyed this game in the beginning but I have literally been stuck on the same level for MONTHS. The goals to progress versus the rate of collection are impossible to meet. I’ve noticed that your other apps have been regularly updated but this one seems to have been basically tossed. I really hope that the devs would update the game and address/fix the issues ### 1/5 — Forgot about the game? *2021-02-18* I don’t know if the developers of this game just forgot about this game or don’t care enough to keep it updated but there’s no weekly events now and those events were about 95% of the reason to play the game because once you get past level 50 in the main game each level takes up to a week or two to finish even with all the managers fully upgraded. Hopefully they add more events to the game and if they do I’ll happily change my review to 5 stars and resubscribe to their monthly VIP pass but until then there’s no point to playing the game. ### 1/5 — Bugged *2020-10-13, version 1.8* Once game is fixed I will play. ### 1/5 — Bug within first few steps *2020-10-07* I love the kongregate producers. I download many games by them, but sadly this one is bugging out ! I downloaded it tonight and was trying to play. I got someone on stage and then was prompted to do the next step but sadly there is no other choice I can make. I deleted the game and re downloaded it to see if it helped but, there is no money. No options. The “free” stands to I guess start making money are grayed our and I can’t click them. I clicked something to upgrade and it said “go to store” and said yes and it just kicked me off. Im sorry ! Hope you all fix it soon. I’m assuming it’s new, so maybe formats just need updating. Who knows? Still love you guys. ### 1/5 — not playable! *2020-10-06* forget this game, NOTHING works. 2020-10-06 ### 1/5 — Can’t even play *2020-10-04, version 1.8* Not sure if this game is good or not because it’s bugged out and won’t let me do anything past selecting a party and then doesn’t let me do anything else. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPhone *2020-09-23, version 1.8* All it does is let me select a candidate. I can’t buy the trailer park to start earning money. ### 1/5 — This game doesn’t work *2020-09-22, version 1.8* You can’t click on anything, this game doesn’t work.. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-09-15, version 1.8* After I select my candidate, the screen changes and Even the little cog disappears. I’m unable to do anything else. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great idle satire *2023-09-17* For fans of the casual / incremental genre ### 5/5 — Good Game *2023-07-12* It is fun to play most of the time, but sometimes it can be a little boring because you’re waiting to get more money to reach a very purchase which could take awhile to complete. ### 5/5 — I love this game I hope you make more of this *2021-09-29, version 1.010* I love the game and I can’t wait for the 3 pocket politician and I hope they are Making the 3 game ### 5/5 — Yes *2020-12-22, version 1.010* I love this game it’s so common these days ### 5/5 — Get this game *2020-11-16, version 1.010* This game is so fun and entertaining I highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Good *2020-09-25, version 1.8* Just started though I can’t get any businesses yet what do I do? Update: I just had to close all the apps I opened now it is fixed. ### 5/5 — I’m almost done *2020-09-10, version 1.8* Weeks of painstaking effort is about to pay off. Great capitalist style game. I love the theme and the politicians names. ### 5/5 — Haters gonna hate *2020-08-15, version 1.6* Great game ### 5/5 — best game *2020-07-21, version 1.2* Because it’s good ### 5/5 — Hilarious and entertaining *2020-06-30* I have read reviews saying that you cannot access the shop. I was confused at first too and would like to say that shop shows up as you progress through the game. Great game with hilarious cartoons! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
