Best political gaming sim in a while

I love political gaming simulators like these. The different options for your cabinet is amazing, and constant updates always make me feel the need to keep playing. MUST DOWNLOAD.

The best game in the world…. Almost.

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

Incredible potential, surface level execution

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.

Can’t try the game

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.

Dang awesome…with work

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

Sign up impossible.

It’s impossible to sign up, I’m sure it’s a good game but I need to be able to play it
no no bo no hono no bo no ho

Unfinished AI weirdness

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.)

This could be a 5-star game

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.

Great game and very responsive to ideas and improvements

Horrible pay-to-play subscription

You cannot even trial the game without paying. Normally, that would be fine, but instead of a one time purchase which I’d happily pay, it’s a gross subscription service. I will never pay a subscription to play.

Couldn't even play

pay to play
Just Do'nt ItJust Do'nt It

Would rate 0 stars if I could.

This game is a real pos to play, you can’t even use it without signing up for a horrid subscription, DEV IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMEWHAT POPULAR GAME YOU SHIULD HIDE IT BEHIND A PAYWALL.

Direct engagement with allies and adversaries.

I haven’t been able to play with other players, and there should be an ability to increase relations with other nations individually. Your game is coming along well.

Following up to your second review, I will look into that. Because war is so unpredictable, the artificial intelligence that is built into this considers it that as well. Let me consider how I might improve military readiness. Thanks for playing the game though. Now I understand where all my AI tokens are going. Ha ha.! 😂 ****Update 4/27/2026 I took your advice and made the improvements today. The app will likely take a few days for Apple to approve the changes. ******* Hey, I really appreciate your feedback. I wasn’t expecting to see comments today because the app is fairly new. So thank you for leaving a comment. I would love to talk to you about what I can do to improve the app to make it more engaging. The app is driven by AI. That means that there will be some redundancy sometimes because I think the artificial intelligence wants to lean in a certain direction based on current events. But I can always tweak it. If you wanna talk to me about it, you can email me at support@therealpotus.com

In my experience on an iPhone 14 it is very slow trying to skip to the next day or when making any action. I would like to see a decrease in wait time between basic gameplay

Thank you for your review. I fixed the next day feature to where it synced with the real calendar year. So each day you enter the app, it's a new day. Additionally, to address your concern over the time it takes to make a decision, I completely understand. I've made a few improvements without compromising the complexity of the app. Because it relies so much on AI, it needs to think before it processes. That way it keeps the game dynamic instead of having stale static information. The app not only using AI to keep up with global tensions but it also has a predictive engine built into it so that it can offer potential scenarios that have a high probability of happening. So with that added capability, it takes time to process a response. I'll see what I can do to improve it but I hope you understand what the app is doing on the backend.

Great Game

Im going to be real i am a huge political gaming nerd and i love in depth political games. When i first seen this game i was skeptical and a critic i had so much bad to say without actually trying it, so i finally gave it a try and lets just say.. top 3 political games of all time. From the AI, the UI, the content its all just lovely. This game is genuinely amazing i can’t wait to see where it will go and i would love to be a supporter verbally and financially.

Your comment made my day. There are some people on here that have given it 1 star and I'm always interested in making improvements for those who think the app is falling short. Just this week I've added some features that I think you'll like. After choosing your cabinet members, you can now speak with them in chat and they make recommendations on how you can improve your stats. I'm always looking for ideas so let me know if you come up with something I haven't thought of yet.

There’s potential..

I think this game has a lot of potential as a presidential simulator. The decision-making feels challenging and realistic, which makes the gameplay very engaging. I’d also love to see more customization, like creating your own presidential family or background. Expanding the role of cabinet secretaries with more detailed advice and differing opinions would make the experience feel even more immersive. A medieval monarch version of this style of game would also be incredibly fun.

Just so you know, I took your advice this week and added the cabinet member feature that allows you to talk to them and they help you increase your stats. When you go back into the app, you'll see a little chat box with a red dot in the Oval Office screen. When you click on that, you'll open the chat and you can then click on the little person icon on the right side of the screen and you can alternate between cabinet members. When your stats drop below acceptable numbers, for example Domestic Stability, the system will prompt you to speak with your Attorney General about what improvements you need to make to increase your stats. It was definitely the missing link in the app. Thank you for requesting it.

Love the game but..

The game is fun. My main suggestion is there should be a way to win wars or have the other country or group surrender or ask for a cease fire. All military strikes ending in potential Nuclear war for a small country or group shouldn’t be the only option if their military isn’t even comparable to the US. Targeted attacks should actually weaken these countries. Even domestic incidents can result in nuclear wear within the country. Also every single Supreme Court decision has been overturned.

Thanks for your message. But I wanted to respond that I have looked at all of the logs for for the subscriptions and I couldn’t find one that indicated a wrongful charge. You can send a message to support@therealpotus.com so that I can check whether your email address was billed. 6/12/2026 Did the issue above get resolved? In mid-May, I discovered that the app wasn't charging anyone. It was allowing people to login and not charging for the subscription. The issue was resolved. Send me an email so that we can discuss this and I can issue you some credit.
