But for example, it puts D.C. and Minnesota red and Idaho and Alabama blue… I wish you could change it to where it’s realistic ### 4/5 — Romans 10:9 *2025-09-28, version 1.2.3* Romans 10:9 ### 3/5 — It’s rigged *2025-03-11, version 1.2.3* Will not allow the Republicannto win I cannot do my republican duties I’m against wokism ### 3/5 — I love this game but *2025-01-12, version 1.2.3* So this game is very good for kids to play in school and it is very educational and fun. But this game needs an update very bad. Maybe add new presidents, make a hard and easy mode, new solutions and problems. So if is game was upgraded I would give it a 5 stars ### 5/5 — i am so obsessed. *2024-12-23, version 1.2.3* the love i have for win the white house is actually so crazy. everyone i know makes fun of me for how often i play it but i don’t care. my undying love for the game is so intense. when i think about i think “oh, it’s just a boring game” but no. when i play it i get so heavily addicted to quickly that i can’t put my phone down until i win. i always win and the constant landslide victories are so validating that i can’t go away. win the white house, you will always have my heart. ### 4/5 — This game is fun but feels rigged *2024-12-08, version 1.2.3* This is a really fun no ad game where your running for president and you have to do speeches and convince states to vote for you. This teaches kids about the Democrats and Republicans and how elections work. My only problem is that you play against bots so if they are winning which is 60% of the time it feels rigged. I do overlike this game because it helps kids+adults learn about politics and " current events" I like the Realisticness of it to. You get to pick your own campaigns and learn the highs and lows of each party. So it's an educational game I love. I can't give this 5 stars but 4 is good to hope you enjoy! ### 4/5 — Add multiplayer *2024-12-01, version 1.2.3* It’s a great educational and really fun game but what would rlly add to it is if you could play against real people ### 4/5 — PLEASE format do i have a right for mobile *2024-11-28, version 1.2.3* im on my hands and knees begging here guys. i love that game. i need to level up my firm and buy a fishtank and get more lawyers and. it’s like cookie clicker for losers. i need it and i need it soon or i’ll lose my mind ### 5/5 — Don’t even play it to learn anymore *2024-11-21, version 1.2.3* I played it once in my senior year government and economics class, and it was so much fun that I play it a surprising amount to this day a year and a half later. ### 5/5 — GOATed Game *2024-11-17, version 1.2.3* I think that this is an amazing game. I think the opponent shouldn’t be a girl every single time and I also think that you should get to choose maverick issues for every issue. Thanks for making the game! ### 4/5 — Love the game but needs to be updated *2024-11-13, version 1.2.3* I love the game a lot but it hasn’t been updated in so long. The updates need to be more frequent, not last so long. An update for recommendation though is at the end, review the Electoral votes and make a map of which states you won. And add a continue button instead of it going away immediately after. Love the game, it just needs updates. Thanks if you read this! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-11-09, version 1.2.3* This the best presidential game I have ever played. I highly recommend you download this app. ### 2/5 — Wayyy to hard *2024-11-07, version 1.2.3* If you start and you think your going to win you guessed wrong if they make a move they are winning by 170 votes ### 2/5 — What *2024-11-06, version 1.2.3* Fun but imposible to win ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why do the freakin democrats always win! *2026-07-15, version 1.2.3* FREAKIN DEMOCRATS ALWAYS FREAKIN WIN TRUMP 4EVER! ### 1/5 — Game *2025-07-23, version 1.2.3* I have played 3 times and the democrats always win and I run as a republican so it’s not fair that I run for nothing and I will be president from 2053-2061. ### 1/5 — Don’t play terrible game *2025-04-17, version 1.2.3* It’s so rigged and unfair i make a speech and the people don’t like it then the cpu dose the EXACT same speech in the same state and somehow they like it? Game is also hard and not very enjoyable. ### 1/5 — Rigged *2025-02-07, version 1.2.3* I’m glad I read other one star reviews because I wasn’t sure but it really really seemed like the game was rigged in the democrats favor. Whoever made this game is obviously very left winged and they inserted their values and agenda into a game like lefties love to do. Georgia is not a blue state neither is Florida etc. and they gave my opponent 3 3star dates from the start so she go more funds the whole time. Absolutely garbage I agree it was rigged. ### 1/5 — Rigged election stolen from me *2024-11-05, version 1.2.3* You can’t win news people are bias to the other party even i lose every time ### 1/5 — Deserve less than zero stars *2024-08-08, version 1.2.3* The LGBTQSTCjOjaj Rainbow Club should not be added as an issue. Also, the simulation isn’t realistic. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate game *2024-07-24, version 1.2.3* Texas isn’t a blue state neither is Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Iowa, Louisiana etc. ### 1/5 — It is Rigged *2024-04-05, version 1.2.3* When ever I claim poll a state, it gives it to the other team and when I try to claim back a state I don’t get any progress. ### 1/5 — So biased *2024-03-06, version 1.2.3* Never lets you win as a democrat ### 1/5 — Rigged *2023-08-05, version 1.2.3* The cpu always does everything right. Whenever I make public speech or televise commercial, it never goes the way I want it. But when the cpu does it, it always goes their way. It is so rigged for the democratic party as well. Everything only goes right for the Democratic Party and the cpu. Idk how people win in this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boredom cure *2026-03-28, version 1.2.3* Hi!!! Whenever I’m at school and I finished all my assignments and work for the day I always go to iCivics/Win the White House due to how fun it is. Even if we have free time and we can go to games like bloomer or kahoot I still choose this. I love politics especially in this I know all the answers to the issues. I never done the democratic side but I do know everything in the republican side. I just have to see the issue and the sentence and I know it instantly. Thank you for this game. Just one concern though. I’ve been trying to sign into my school account but it never works. ### 5/5 — Incredible, some suggestions *2026-03-04, version 1.2.3* I think this is an incredible game, been playing since 2020 but I do have some suggestions that would make this game a whole lot better. When you pick your issues, I think you should be able to pick 7 issues along with the option of 2 issues from the opposing party. I have trouble picking my issues with only 5 options. I also think having more skins would be great. Maybe the game could get updated too, because I tried to play it on a new phone this year and it did not support the game. I don’t know if that was just the phone or not, but overall incredible game! I would have gave a 4 but I gave a 5 so maybe people could read this. And to the people reading if any, it’s not rigged for a certain party like many of these political games. Thanks for reading! ### 5/5 — Wish they had real candidates from life *2025-12-29, version 1.2.3* Put more political candidates in like George bush and Obama ### 5/5 — Wonderful knowledge *2025-11-16, version 1.2.3* I love this game because it have some knowledge easy to understand about political without long reading ### 5/5 — Really entertaining game *2025-08-24, version 1.2.3* I really enjoy playing this game. As someone from the UK I would love to see a UK election version of this game ### 5/5 — Good game but a few suggestions *2025-07-12, version 1.2.3* I love this game and a good time killer. But I do wish the electoral votes were updated for 2024 and there were more weeks like 20. I also wish you could do things twice like twice the media ads instead of doing all four choices each week. I also wish more states are polled and the seven swing states are the main battleground ones near the end of the game. I also wish we can choose the difficulty of the computer and online multiplayer for those with an Icivics account. And on Election Day the news will call each state. Ps if you’re playing as a republican and saying it’s rigged you aren’t a good player in this game I’ve won many times as a republican before ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-04-17, version 1.2.3* This game was made very professionally, and i thank the people who made it. i do have a suggestion- let the winners see the electoral map after they finish! i’ve won multiple times now, and just wish i could get a still image of the final electoral college map. other than that, great game! ### 5/5 — Great Game, Love It! *2025-03-07, version 1.2.3* I discovered this game in 4th grade from my teacher. We played it on Inauguration Day in 2020. So much fun, great mechanics. Keeps me ok the edge of my seat sometimes😆. Only thing I’d want them to do more, is maybe add an independent party option. Or maybe a Green Party option to teach children about 3rd parties. Besides from that, LOVE IT! ### 5/5 — perfect *2025-03-01, version 1.2.3* entertaining and educational ### 5/5 — Really fun for mindlessly passing the time!! *2025-01-03, version 1.2.3* I downloaded this app out of boredom and have ran 3 times, winning with 348 electoral votes, losing with 250~ votes, and winning again with 356 votes. It’s really fun if you need to pass the time!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
