Presidents vs. Aliens®

My five year old child can't stop playing this. He loves learning about presidents and now he is the head of the class because of this game, this game also is like a fidjeting game to so it's a win win for both not so smart and smart kids. A good game to play I would buy it if I where you.

What We Liked: If you want to learn more about the U.S. Presidents – this is the app for you! Filled with amazingly addictive game play that creates a tremendous need to learn – you and your children will find yourself quickly and easily memorizing portraits of the presidents, answering trivia related multiple choice questions about their lives, placing them in chronological order and more while you destroy alien invaders. The game is set up so that up to five players can set up their own player profiles; each child (or parent) collecting his own presidents from session to session. While I understand and appreciate the value of playing games to reinforce and even teach educational content, I still found myself wondering if this can really count as learning – it is just that fun. The proof is in the pudding though, and the fairly small databanks of knowledge our family previously possessed about the U.S. Presidents have been steadily – and rapidly growing since we began playing Presidents vs. Aliens. Yes – this is truly educational; flinging presidential heads into increasingly complex arrangements of alien invaders does NOT negate this apps educational value in any wa This app looks great on both the iPod and iPad; the high-resolution backgrounds of notable historical landmarks (Mount Rushmore anyone?) really stand out. What We Didn’t Like: Nothing. This is just an all-around excellent app. Overall: Homeschooling apps just don’t get much better than Presidents vs. Aliens. We’re Canadian and I’m still amazed with how much our family has painlessly learned about the U.S. Presidents (and how excited we’ve been to do so!) Any chance we can get Prime Ministers of Canada vs. Aliens? Please? Disclosure: I received a promo code to download this app for free.

It’s a bummer that the creator’s political bias comes through in the latter presidents’ info. Excellent game otherwise.

Enjoyable and a learning tool. Ios16. Can’t direct the presidents to hit the aliens. Too low on the screen. It either exits the game or just falls to the bottom.

Hey if you’re a republican, like trump, or both, you will be disappointed in this game. It is very biased against trump and only lists the negative things that “happened”. Was this game funded by CNN?! Waste of a few bucks.

This is a fine game for Trump haters but if you don’t suffer from trump derangement syndrome, you may find some of the “facts” to be comical. There are better ways to teach history to your children.

I have had this game for some time and really enjoyed it with my family. But this game now seems to portray Presidents Obama and Biden in an extremely positive, hero-like way, while listing information that is very negative towards President Trump. It’s too bad because this used to be a very fun game for us. Extremely disappointed that this game has become so biased towards the Democrat political party. I have deleted this from my phone.

Unbelievable how biased this game is. Everything conservative is bad everything progressive is good. I’m shocked how blatant it is.

My son has learned some facts but it would be nice if it was unbiased politically.

Update: I just read all the facts and events for the presidents over the last 40 years and I’m definitely giving this game only one star now and deleting it off my kids’ devices. Unbelievable how biased this information is. The game could afford to be more interesting but the top thing that annoys me is that this game is clearly biased. I think educational games for kids need to give a balance and be more objective. I’m specifically referring to how the facts about the republican presidents over the last 50 years are negative and the facts about the democratic presidents in the same time period are positive. It’s extremely obvious that it was made that way on purpose. So stupid when you should be simply giving kids trivia without an agenda. Would give it more stars if it wasn’t so biased.
