PRESIDENT: SIMULATOR GAME Take the Oval Office in the White House and keep it. In this tap-easy office simulator you are the president—campaign boss, deal-maker and crisis fixer. Run the government, pass bold policy, win every vote and protect that magic 270. Can you save Mr President, save the president from being impeached and win the White House again, or will rivals crush you in ruthless politics and war? WHY PLAY • Lead the nation: drive sweeping reforms, steady a restless cabinet, prove you’re the leader this country needs. • Instant choices: tap Yes/No on bills, fire ministers, issue quick orders—small moves, huge impact. • The election clock never stops. Raise cash, shape the next campaign, survive razor-thin run-offs. • Live world map: sanctions or trade, troops or treaties—pure diplomacy or raw force. • Two paths: shining republic and democracy—or ruthless dictator forging an empire. • Become a White House tycoon—balance revenue, debt and growth like the sharpest boss games. KEY MOMENTS • Budget crashes, data leaks, oil shocks, coups—act fast and the world reacts. • Social feed erupts with protests and memes; spin the story or get buried. • Smarter rivals: the longer the president rules, the sharper media, courts and parliament. • Recruit or sack advisers—top lawyer, media strategist, chief economist, cyber-security guru. • Balance taxes, welfare, defense on a clean dashboard; watch GDP, prices and debt move live. • Offline gains: upgrade ministries, media, security; prestige into fresh scenarios—fragile startup or iron-fist House of Power. Love iCivics, Politics and War, tycoon hits or other boss games? Draft the law, call the shot, write the headline. You are Mr President—rule wisely, or history votes you out.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Conquer Countries at free with in-app purchases against President's subscription. Conquer Countries also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (31% vs 7%). President's advantage is chart position (#101 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. President sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Conquer Countries sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Conquer Countries holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Conquer Countries has 79K ratings behind it against 4.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of President's written reviews are positive against 31% of Conquer Countries's.
President ships an update every 2 weeks, Conquer Countries monthly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
