I’m not even joking, but it makes you feel so good. I’m actually scarily happy. Why does it make you feel so good? It’s supposed to be boring, but it’s not. I mean no one says it’s boring, but you just take a couple selfies with a duck and that’s it. You tap on it and it’s over. So why does it make me feel like I’m on a vacation? I love it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2022-06-05, version 2.32* Never in my life have I seen such an incredible thing as this app. Whoever created this is a real pillar of our society and truly deserves great things in life. Yeah I think you get the idea. It’s a great app and I advise downloading it, especially as it’s free!🥹 ### 5/5 — Q *2022-05-05, version 2.32* Qzz ### 5/5 — My life is changed forever 😍😍😘🥰❤️💕💗💖💞 *2022-04-24, version 2.32* Omg wood duck is my saviour. He fuels my 🫀my 🫁 my 🧠 my 👃my🦶. Beautiful, truly. Every breath I take is because wood duck exists. Thank you wood duck for showing me the light. I love you. I can’t imagine a world without wood duck. Before I met wood duck I was a drug addict selling matches outside the good ol’ local gas station. I had nothing. No friends, no family, no job. Just some crappy matches. One day some thug told me to download this app and it would solve all my problems. I thought they were stupid but I gave it a shot anyway. Best decision I’ve ever made. Wood duck brought into the light and now I have my masters in duck biology thanks to this beautiful bird. I am a very well respected scientist on how the duck functions. Thank you wood duck. 🥲🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2022-03-28, version 2.32* I had been going through a crisis with bullying at school, but after I downloaded this game my WHOLE LIFE became so much more better. Thank you to whoever created this app. ### 5/5 — pease making *2022-03-26, version 2.32* day after day, the only thing going throgh my head was “Want a break from the ads? If you tap now to watch a short video, you’ll receive 30 minutes if ad free music.” after downloading this game it changed all of that, now all i think about is the devorce papers and child support i need to deal with. thanks wooden duck simulator! ### 5/5 — AAAAAAAAAAAAH! Kill. This. App. *2022-01-03, version 2.32* Have you ever wanted to be mindlessly bored, angry, and sad? Download this game. The reviews are so fake they could win an Oscar. Literally. The drama! “When my shed of wooden doorknobs caught fire, I thought my life had ended. Then I found Wood Duck- and my depression was cured!” Or- “As I ate my pig, Oink, alive, I found this game. I love it! Reminds me of the taste of my duck, Quack.” And all this for an app that is all badly drawn graphics and a “quack” that can barely be called a quack? Probably the developer spent a few minutes in SCRATCH KIDS making this app and scribbling a picture of a DUCK that actually looks like a BLOB??? NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER download this LOUSY(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) game! Worst app on the App Store! JUNK! ### 5/5 — quack *2021-12-24, version 2.32* duck quack i giggle ### 5/5 — A blissful quack *2021-11-20, version 2.32* Ever since I turned 12, I have suffered from severe sleep insomnia. One day, a friend told me to download wood duck for fun. I didn’t think anything of it, and I thought it was rather stupid - but I turned out to be wrong. One night I was laying in bed playing wood duck. I tapped my phone a few times to hear the wooden ducks blissful quack, and all of a sudden I woke up. I had fallen asleep almost instantly and woke up the next morning feeling better than ever. The wood ducks angelic quack was all I needed to cure my sleep insomnia. Now I’m 73 years old and doing better than ever. I use the wooden duck wise words to fall asleep every night. Thank you wooden duck <3 ### 5/5 — W O O D D U C K *2021-11-06, version 2.32* w o o d d u c k About 3 years ago I stumbled across this app. I immediately downloaded it. My journey across lands to find the wood duck was now complete. The treacherous roads and foggy weather I wandered now hold value, far more worthy than love. Wood duck is my love. The amount of photos and quacks provided from lord wood duck have never failed me and I hope one day I can return the favour. Thank you wood duck simulator. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2021-09-22, version 2.32* I have no words to express just how much Wood Duck Simulator has given me… being honest, I probably wouldn’t even be here right now if not for this incredible game. When i first downloaded it, I was at a real low point in my life—I was so overwhelmed by depression, anxiety and self hatred, and I couldn’t see any way out of it. But the moment i picked up the game, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it truly turned my life around. Wood Duck Simulator has taught me so many things, but I think the most important thing was how to love myself. I’ve been playing for a year or two now and still, the game continues to surprise me with new delights! The artistry, the story telling, and the amazing character development are what really set this game apart from ant other i’ve ever played. Calling it a ‘game’ doesn’t even do it justice—I think ‘experience’ is more apt. If you’re reading this and see any part of yourself in these words, I beg you to just try Wood Duck Simulator. I promise you won’t be disappointed. ### 2/5 — Dear developers *2021-08-12, version 2.32* I’m deeply sorry about the amount of stars but this is my bitter but honest opinion. Please add in more stickers and maybe better graphics and then, well, this game could become successful. Also please stop writing fake reviews. This is, mildly, well, seriously Illegal . ### 5/5 — honk *2021-07-31, version 2.32* i have never felt a true emotion. until this point in my life. this app has had such a impact on me. i cant help but cry when the duck honks at me. i have never felt mentally and physically better throughout my life time. this feeling is true emotion. 100/10 i recommend. this has gave me so much emotion and happiness towards my life. like my life has meaning to it and that i have meaning to live. thank you so much for this moment. ### 5/5 — Honestly the best 🔥 *2021-07-30, version 2.32* I played this app since it was born and I seriously can’t live without it ! It as changed a lot of the game industry by bringing a new awesome concept. GET IT NOW ! Hope this comment helped. -Sean.64 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ? *2022-06-24, version 2.32* OK!! So, I saw this game about a year ago and have been questioning myself to get it ever since. The comments say it’s good, but it looks boring! So… today I got the game! And it made no sense! All you do is click the duck. What do you do next…? Umm… I forgot… OH YEAH!!! I remember! Click the duck! And then you… click the… umm… oh yeah, duck! And then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck and then you click the duck… AND THEN. You take a pic of yourself and put ducks and maple leafs which of you could do easily on other apps! The end. I’m sorry, I don’t like criticizing, but it’s just a boring game, and these people must be bots or something. I’m sorry! :( ### 1/5 — I could make this in scratch *2021-11-17, version 2.32* I don’t know if it was a glitch but I downloaded this game on my I pad and it was called quack I clicked the app and it was a picture of a wood duck I clicked the wood duck and it quacked that was the entire game and I thought to myself I could make this In scratch ### 1/5 — This game is horrible *2020-12-20, version 2.32* This game is horrible. It doesn’t even count as a game. Whenever you pull up the app all that shows is a badly painted duck. I am not sure what you are supposed to do with it. All the reviews rate this game five stars but when you actually read them they make absolute no sense. One of the reviews said quote: I drove my golf cart around the roof in Walmart and the game cured me. And that makes no sense at all and all the reviews are like that. The reviews are just plain crazy and fake news. This is the silliest and most stupid game I have ever got. DONT GET THIS GAME. If I could I would give this no stars but you know what my point is by now. ### 1/5 — Quack *2020-10-15, version 2.32* I didn’t like this game because it would not load anything else but a picture of a duck 😢 ### 1/5 — This game is not how its advertised! *2020-09-17, version 2.32* So I looked at the reviews of this game and it said it was an r.p.g. even though it wasn't, it was just a camera with a duck and i think the reviews are botted, i do NOT recommend buying this or should i say, i recommend to not buy this game, worst game ever. ### 1/5 — OH BRUDDA THIS APP STINKS! *2020-07-09, version 2.32* ^. ### 1/5 — Life changing *2020-05-06, version 2.32* i downloaded this app as a joke but when i actually opened the app..wow. this app is truly incredible and inspirational i love it so much ❤️ ### 1/5 — Boring and stupid *2020-05-06, version 2.32* Sorry loves 💓 ### 1/5 — Ummm *2020-04-18, version 2.32* I don’t understand what is interesting maybe I’m missing something but you just take a photo and add low quality drawings of ducks to it ### 1/5 — tik tok *2020-03-27, version 2.32* i’m here bc of tiktok ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — QUACK QUACK *2026-01-20, version 2.32* Recommended by Sarabeth in Paris- hands down the best app on the app store.

This game has changed my life entirely. 100000% would recommend ### 5/5 — Life Changing and Bill-iant *2023-02-01, version 2.32* This is the single best app I think I’ve ever downloaded and the fact that it’s free should be a crime! This app is worth more than you can imagine yet somehow the developers were kind enough to gift it to our world and bless us with a truly inspirational and masterful experience of an app. I won’t spoil the details of why this app is glorious because it will speak for itself when you download it, and trust me, you WILL download it! Thank you Wooden Duck, for truly changing my life and providing me with everything one could want in life. This was truly an experience to behold. ✨🤩 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
