The different options for your cabinet is amazing, and constant updates always make me feel the need to keep playing. MUST DOWNLOAD. ### 5/5 — The best game in the world…. Almost. *2026-07-18* I have left a review before, but this game is absolutely fantastic and your new expansion with all the different powers like speaking to the UN and everything you have done is just absolutely brilliant I am in awe of it. There is this odd glitch that will happen where I will execute a decision, and it will stay as an urgent matter, and I sometimes have to execute the decision sometimes up the 4 to 5 times and any small metric changes, like +2 public trust, -1 approval, still happen and so it can mess up my metrics very quickly, and another glitch will happen where it won’t let me out of certain rooms or departments or whatever you wanna call it. It happens often in the state department office or whatever; but the biggest thing that I need you to improve on is the fact that the cabinet members cannot give actual in-game advice! What I mean is they are fully answering as though they are in an actual cabinet and they work for the president and it is very realistic and very accurate and it is even hyper immersive, but they often will recommend strategies and things to me that I have no way of actually implementing due to, just the basic limitations of what buttons and stuff I have you know what I mean? They should keep the realism, but they should be able to genuinely help you navigate the game itself somewhat. I have ADHD, and so trying to master the user interface, while fun for exploring is frustrating when you were trying to implement the strategies that are very sound solid strategies, but are just simply not part of the game right now. That’s the other thing sometimes they will recommend things that aren’t even an active part of the game like they will talk about gathering a meeting where the national security council but it never happens and there is no direct way like there is for all the other things to go to the NSC. If I am wrong, and some of these things do exist (and there are other examples but they’re all of the same nature. I just can’t remember all of them right now) please feel free and let me know that, that option or “ button” exist, and how to get to it. If it helps, I have an iPhone 13 and it’s running on the latest iOS which is 26.5 or something I think great game man seriously, it is the best simulator I’ve ever experienced ### 1/5 — Incredible potential, surface level execution *2026-07-12, version 2.0.1* This game could really be great, but once you get past the initial few interactions it devolves into repetitive slop. Actions are not nearly as realistic as you might anticipate. My last presidency ended with nuclear annihilating by ISIS somehow. Wish it was better, but for my wallet’s sake, glad it isn’t. ### 1/5 — Can’t try the game *2026-07-11, version 2.0.1* There is no way to try the game before adding a payment method. I don’t even know if I want to play it and the first thing is paying for it? Add trial before putting a payment option. ### 5/5 — Dang awesome…with work *2026-07-06, version 2.0.1* It is a great overall game and very comphrehensive and I absolutely love it, but small things like the same crisis having different outcomes because it sometimes lags and you have to do it twice to make the “urgent matter” go away, the cabinet needs to be able to do more or I need to be told how to use them. I have asked them to form a whole cabinet meeting and present me with certain actions and things and they talk like it’s real but never do actually get back to me. But the idea is freaking amazing! With some (rather constant 😁) updating (like why can I now only advance the 1 day instead of the different options I use to have?) it could be the best U.S. president simulator I’ve ever seen (I’ve only played as U.S. and I also mean specifically for like authenticity and accuracy). LOVE IT ### 1/5 — Sign up impossible. *2026-07-06, version 2.0.1* It’s impossible to sign up, I’m sure it’s a good game but I need to be able to play it ### 1/5 — Unfinished AI weirdness *2026-06-29, version 2.0.1* It’s a fun idea, but it fails in execution. Pretty clear Claude made it all. Has a bunch of “OSINT briefing” type of stuff that actually serves no gameplay purpose whatsoever. Same with conspiracy theory stuff. Full of bugs. Tries to sell you precious metals in a way that doesn’t even make it clear that it’s real and not part of the game (that line is frequently blurred.) You’re basically just roleplaying with Claude, so you might as well do that yourself directly instead of paying a subscription fee (LOL) for this. The only fun part is trying to break it further, since you’re constantly giving inputs to an AI. In my 30-minute session I appointed a dog as Secretary of HHS and signed an executive order casting a magic spell to max out my scores. (Neither has any meaningful gameplay impact. Almost nothing you do actually does.) ### 1/5 — Really🤨 *2026-06-27, version 1.9.6* So I gotta pay 3.99 a month just to play a mobile game,absurd imo ### 3/5 — This could be a 5-star game *2026-06-27, version 1.9.6* Hey! I love the idea of this app and I think you're doing a great thing. I'd love to contact you to talk about some of the more glaring flaws in the way the game is played. But, I am impressed by the idea. ## Frequently asked questions about The Real POTUS ### What is The Real POTUS?

One wrong call could drag the whole alliance into war. • Assassination Plots: Foreign intelligence has uncovered active plots against both Vladimir Putin and Zelensky. Attempts are foiled — but the instability and succession chaos that follows will test your diplomacy. • Full Peace Negotiations: Broker real ceasefires through multi-round negotiations — counteroffers, leverage plays, and a final make-or-break moment to sign, walk away, or escalate. Now available for both the Russia-Ukraine-NATO conflict and the US-Iran war over the Strait of Hormuz. • Cartel Warfare: Criminal cartel violence is now its own major storyline — car bombings, cross-border firefights, fentanyl lab raids, and the high-stakes decision to designate cartels as terrorist organizations or launch cross-border strikes. • Smarter, Contextual Crises: The game now weighs which crises you see based on who you're playing — Americans and Russians will feel the Ukraine war much more intensely, while U.S. presidencies face cartel violence as a persistent front. No more over-focus on a single flashpoint. Referral Rewards Refreshed New exclusive cosmetic rewards for inviting friends — earn a presidential hat, shirt, and jacket as you climb the referral tiers.

The biggest update yet is here — your presidency is no longer a solo journey. You can now go head-to-head against presidents from around the world on the all-new Global Top 50 Leaderboard. Every decision you make in the Oval Office now counts toward your worldwide rank. Climb the Worldwide Rankings Tap the new trophy icon at the top of the Oval Office to open the Leaderboard and see the 50 highest-performing presidencies on the planet. Whether you're gunning for the #1 crown or fighting to crack the Top 50, there's always another rival to overtake. The top 3 spots get a special look — can you claim one of them? Earn Your Presidency Score Your standing is powered by one overall Presidency Score, built from three things: Days in Office — the longer you survive and lead the nation, the higher you climb. Administration Stats — your approval, economy, foreign relations, domestic stability, military readiness, and public trust all feed your score, so a strong, balanced presidency outranks a shaky one. Badges Earned — every achievement you unlock adds bonus points, rewarding accomplished leaders. Your score updates as you play, so rising through the ranks is something you truly earn over time. Always Know Where You Stand Your own card is highlighted wherever it appears in the rankings. And if you're not in the Top 50 yet, your personal rank stays pinned at the bottom so you always know exactly how far you have to go. As more players publish their scores, the board keeps filling in — so jump in early and stake your claim before the competition heats up. NEW: The Document Vault Your most sensitive investigative briefings are now saved to a permanent, searchable archive. Revisit the classified files you've uncovered anytime — nothing is lost once it crosses your desk. Refined Gameplay Balance One Day at a Time: We've removed the multi-day "advance" shortcuts (1 Week, 1 Month, 90 Days). Every presidency now moves forward one day at a time, so your rank reflects genuine skill and steady leadership — not fast-forwarding past the hard decisions. Fairer Achievements: Achievement unlock requirements have been carefully tuned and standardized, so badges — and the Presidency Scores they feed — are earned consistently for everyone on the leaderboard. Permanent Badges: Once you've earned an achievement, it's yours to keep. Badges no longer slip away if a stat temporarily dips, so your legacy is always protected. Polish & Fixes Redesigned leaderboard cards that adapt to your screen — no more truncated names or numbers that collide. Your Presidency Score now gets the spotlight it deserves. Tap any leader to view their full presidential stats in a sheet you can now scroll all the way to the bottom — every detail, from approval to Public Trust, is reachable. Cleaner party labels at a glance, so you can instantly read the political landscape of every rival president. Dozens of smaller stability and performance improvements under the hood for a smoother, faster experience. The Race Starts Now Every crisis you survive, every badge you unlock, and every day you serve shapes your legacy — and your place among the greatest presidents in the world. Run the country, climb the rankings, and prove you have what it takes to reach #1. Thanks for playing! We read every review and have big plans ahead. If you're enjoying the game, leave us a rating — it genuinely helps, and it tells us which features to build next. See you on the leaderboard, Mr. President. ### 1.9.6 — 2026-06-26 You can finally win the war. You asked, we delivered. The #1 request from players — including a thoughtful App Store review — was that confronting a hostile nation always ended the same way: escalation, nuclear war, and the end of your presidency. Adversaries never blinked. That changes today. NEW: Adversaries can now stand down. Respond to a crisis with firm, well-earned strength and rival nations can lose their nerve, sue for peace, and wave the white flag instead of marching you up the nuclear ladder. It's earned, not random — your odds of forcing a surrender improve when you: • Build strong military readiness before you push back • Rally allied and foreign support to pressure the adversary • Manage DEFCON with discipline — show strength without recklessly maxing out the meter • Apply firm, proportionate force rather than going all-in blindly Play it smart and the enemy breaks. Play it reckless — no readiness, no allies, all-out escalation — and the old nuclear danger still very much applies. Surrender is a reward for leading well. NEW: "Adversary Stands Down" victory moment. Win a confrontation and you'll get a triumphant, celebratory victory screen — a complete break from the somber game-over flow. Fanfare, animation, the adversary's name, the story of how they capitulated, plus an approval rating boost and a political-capital reward for the national win. Tap to return to the Oval Office and keep governing, victorious. NEW: "War Won" badge. Force an adversary to capitulate for the first time and unlock a brand-new badge in your achievements collection — proof you stared down a hostile power and came out on top. Thank you for the feedback that made this update happen. Keep it coming — and lead from strength. There’s also a leaderboard showing the top 50 Administations. ### 1.9.4 — 2026-06-14 No major changes. Just updated the UI a little. ## More apps by Sivility Systems LLC - [VENDEXED](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vendexed/id6756076227) - [WP Auto Post](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wp-auto-post/id6759624690) - [Girls 'N Cans](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/girls-n-cans/id6759760514) - [Stacker Gold & Silver Exchange](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stacker-gold-and-silver-exchange/id6760381671) - [Party Pixel: Event Photos](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/party-pixel-event-photos/id6762102240) All apps by Sivility Systems LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1857017366 ## Related topics [potus](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/potus) · [the real potus](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-real-potus) · [government games](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/government-games) · [potus pulse](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/potus-pulse) · [political games](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/political-games) · [potus 2024](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/potus-2024) · [sivil](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sivil) · [president simulator](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/president-simulator) · [dictator games](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/dictator-games) · [political game](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/political-game) · [president game](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/president-game) · [potus 2048](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/potus-2048) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
