So fun would recommend!!!! ### 4/5 — Like idea, wish controls were different/better *2026-06-22, version 1.3* Adorable game. Wish controls were better: 1) have us set hats from a menu cause I frequently change/remove it by accident 2) I hate the little joy stick style mover - I’m always looking at where I am trying to go and doing the wrong thing on the control. would prefer to just drag my finger around ### 4/5 — LOVE *2026-05-25, version 1.3* Love this so much I got it because I wanted the actual app because I had been playing on poki.com and I have so much progress on poki, but I don’t have as much progress on the app. Can you make it so you can sync the app with poki? I love this game it’s very fun except can you make it so you can turn off the boats?and also fix the sound and music. It’s turned on, but I can’t hear it. but when I play on poki, I can hear it. ### 4/5 — It funish *2026-04-13, version 1.3* I hate how you lose ducks and how whenever you die you lose more duck.But the game is very fun I like it a lot it is funish. ### 3/5 — I love this game 🪿 *2026-03-31, version 1.3* I love birds and this game is amazing ❤️♥️ ### 4/5 — 4 Gripes and 4 good things for 4 stars *2026-03-18, version 1.3* Let’s start with the bad things just to get that out of the way. 1. The boats with the people are very annoying because it can be unexpected and you don’t really know which direction the boat comes. 2. You die if you hit one of these boats and you lose all your ducklings and get sent back to your nest. 3. Other ducks can steal your ducklings which is very annoying and sad. 4. It’s kind of boring because you Js upgrade ur nest, collect ducklings and bring them back to ur nest and repeat this process. Now it’s time for the good things! 1. You can unlock areas for your nest and it is kind of cool to see your nest expand. 2. In these areas at ur nest other ducks cant steal any ducklings! 3. There is no ads!!! 4. You can “dress up” your duck because you can put hats on which you get over time. P.S Pretty Good game overall, just add more interaction and I’ll download it again and play like I have in the past! ### 2/5 — App freezes *2026-03-05, version 1.3* I started the game and after I died I closed the app to try to bypass watching the ad. Now whenever I open the app it freezes and I can’t play. When I was able to play it was a good and relaxing game. But now it is unplayable. Is there anyway you can fix this bug? ### 2/5 — Why steal *2025-12-24, version 1.3* It’s such a simple and cute concept for a game, but it is genuinely infuriating that other ducks can steal from your line of ducklings before you get them to the nest. My device isn’t the most up to date so my game lags/is slower than usual and it’s so frustrating when I take so long gathering a bunch of ducklings just for someone to come and steal 3/4 of them in a second, right before I get to my nest. I’d much rather prefer a game where you can just collect the ducklings and it’s finders keepers, without the stealing. ### 5/5 — Duckies! *2025-12-07, version 1.3* i love this game so much. great for ppl who luv duckies like me. :) very glitchy tho ### 5/5 — I like type of birds *2025-12-06, version 1.3* Thank you for making this game. I like all ducks. Please make more ### 2/5 — SUPER IMPORTANT!!! *2025-11-03, version 1.3* When I get hit by a boat I watched an add to revive but when it ended there was no skip button so I swiped up to get out of the ad but I was sent back to my nest without any of my other ducklings. It could be because the ad doesn’t take up the whole screen and the skip button is not on the part of the ad that is shown because it causes people to lose a lot of valuable ducklings to upgrade the nest. Also the duck is really slow so you can’t escape boats or other ducks. Another thing I don’t think other ducks should be allowed to go into your territory because once I had like 30 ducklings and a duck that was in my territory just took them all before I got past all the annoying decorations around my nest. Sorry it took so long but please reply to this and consider making the ad full size or if there is a way to then inform me what it is and try to make the duck a little or a lot faster. These problems have given you a 2 star review so if you want better ratings then LISTEN TO ME! ### 4/5 — Ducklings… *2025-11-01, version 1.3* Hello, people who read this! This game is fun, but I don’t like how slow the ducks are, maybe add an energy bar and you can go faster when using it, but you have to charge it overtime? Second of all, speed issues again I go for so long and then I get hit by a ship or canoe and lose 20 ducklings?! Third, people steal like 9 of my ducklings at a time! Please make it so you can’t steal! Thank you for reading! ( sorry it was long ) good day! ### 5/5 — Yak *2025-10-28, version 1.3* Quackwachb ### 5/5 — Lo lo *2025-09-06, version 1.3* Five stars ### 5/5 — Love this! *2025-08-18, version 1.3* I absolutely love this game I found out about it at Poki.com and I went to the App Store to see if it was there and it was!! ### 4/5 — I like it *2025-07-09, version 1.3* I love this game so much!!! It's so relaxing but I don't have any sound?? :( I've tried turning my phone off silent and turning up the full volume also pressing the buttons in the corner but nothing works please help 😔 p.s I also can't add any friends. It won't let me connect to the server :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-06-26, version 1.3* So boring ### 1/5 — People are stealing my ducklings *2025-09-25, version 1.3* CAN YOU REMOVE THIS FEATURE? ### 1/5 — It ok but it just a problem *2025-07-04, version 1.3* Pls take out the boats and make the game WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF DOCKS NO ONE CAN TAKE THEM ### 1/5 — 😡 *2025-06-25, version 1.3* Well first off you have to steal your own baby’s back and it’s not even close to relaxing!!!!!!!! Because you have to steal your own babies back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so I think that it should have some working on. AND I EVEN waned to put 0 ✨but I just couldn’t so DON'T GET THIS GAME!!!! ### 1/5 — horrid *2024-11-22, version 1.3* my husband was not amused when i kidnapped all the ducklings ### 1/5 — sketchy app *2023-12-17, version 1.3* first thing it tries to do is paste from your clipboard when you open the app. if you recently copied your password, it appears to try to paste your password, or whatever you had copied, into the app. sketchy. ### 1/5 — Too hard *2023-08-22, version 1.3* I was expecting a cute and relaxing game to play, but honestly all I’ve gotten was anxiety 🥲 everytime I get a good group of ducklings a boat will come kill me instantly. I understand adding some spunk to the game, but it really almost feels set up for failure for an advertised relaxation game. ### 1/5 — Bad fps *2023-02-24, version 1.3* literally runs on 12fps 144p ### 1/5 — Awful *2021-08-25, version 1.3* Very annoying when your duck gets killed by boats and you can’t stop it. You can’t even see the boats coming and it’s very hard to control your duck so you can’t actually escape the boats in any way. You should at least get a warning when a boat is coming so that you have time to move away. ### 1/5 — I LOVE THIS GALE BUT SOMETHING I DONT LIKE.... *2020-08-19, version 1.2* I love this game but the only thing I wish for is that we can go on land and if there were people I think it would be quiere more entertaining if there were people and we can walk on land 😐 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice and relaxing *2026-08-21, version 1.3* I really like this game it’s relaxing!
