Crazy Rubber Duck is the squeaky rubber duck app for preschoolers aged 3 and up and everyone who loves to squeak: tap once – and the rubber ducky squeaks.

14 rubber ducks in costumes – each with its own story to read aloud.
Ducky & Ducky
Ducky is the very first rubber duck in the world – and there are two of them: one classic yellow, and one with curls and an orange bow. Every evening they race each other, from the soap mountain to the tap. Splish, splash, splosh! Who wins? Whoever squeaks the loudest. Tap them and hear for yourself!
Favorite worldDayPink Unicorn
The unicorn duckling lives just behind the rainbow. Every morning it slides down the rainbow – wheee! – straight into the bathtub. On the way it nibbles a little color: a bite of red, a sip of blue, a crumb of yellow. That is why its mane and tail shine in every color of the rainbow. And when it squeaks, tiny stars sprinkle into the water.
Pirate & Pirate Girl
The pirate and the pirate girl sail their ship, the Squeaky Gull, across the seven bathtubs. One day they find a treasure map: the red X is right under the bubble mountain! They paddle, they dig, they blow – and find a golden plug. “Shall we pull it out?” asks the pirate. “No way!” cries the pirate girl. “The whole sea would disappear!”
Cowboy & Cowgirl
The cowboy and the cowgirl ride across the wide prairie every day – well, across the bathroom rug. Their horse is called Sponge and is very relaxed. The cowgirl is so good with her lasso that she can even catch soap bubbles. And in the evening they sit by the campfire – which is really a flashlight – and the cowboy sings songs to the stars.
Favorite worldSunsetBallet Boy & Ballerina
The ballerina and the ballet boy love dancing on tiptoe along the edge of the tub. Hop, spin, hop! Once the ballet boy spun such a fast pirouette that he made a little whirlpool – and all the bath boats danced along. The ballerina clapped with delight: “Bravo! Let’s do that again tomorrow!”
Sailor & Sailor Girl
The sailor and the sailor girl know every wave by its first name. In their little boat they sail all the way to the iceberg where the penguins live. “Cast off!” calls the sailor girl, and the sailor blows the foghorn: toooot! The penguins wave their flippers, and everyone slides down the iceberg together. Afterwards there is a lovely warm bath to thaw out.
Red Feather & White Feather
White Feather and Red Feather are the wind’s best friends. Their feathers always show them which way it is blowing. Today the wind whispers: “Over there in the reeds is a nest!” Very quietly the two paddle over and see three chicks hatching from their eggs. Cheep, cheep, cheep! And White Feather and Red Feather squeak back very gently: Welcome!
Favorite worldSunsetClown & Clown Girl
The clown and the clown girl want to give everyone a laugh. The clown juggles three bars of soap – slip, slip … splash! The clown girl blows up balloons so big that she almost floats away. And whenever one of them presses their red nose, it goes: toooot! Then the whole bathtub laughs along.
Male Nurse & Nurse
The two nurses are there in a flash whenever someone needs help. The toy boat has a hole? A bandage on it! The rubber frog has the hiccups? Hic! A warm bubble bath helps. The male nurse listens with his stethoscope: ba-dum, ba-dum. “All healthy!” says the nurse. “Now all we need is a laugh – that is the best medicine!”
Favorite worldDayPolice officer & Policewoman
The police officer and the policewoman make sure everything in the bathtub is just as it should be. Today something has gone missing: the little duckling! They search behind the soap, under the bubbles and in the toothbrush mug … There! It was hiding in the washcloth, giggling. “Case closed!” says the policewoman. To celebrate, everyone does a round of siren squeaks – wee-ooo!
Favorite worldNightPrince & Princess
The princess and the prince live in a castle with a hundred little towers. Today there is a big party! The prince bakes a cake seven layers high. The princess tries out her newest invention: a bubble cannon! Pa-foomp – the whole ballroom fills with bubbles. Then the two of them dance so wildly that their crowns wobble. And the cake? It wobbles too!
Firefighter & Firewoman
The firefighter and the firewoman have the fastest fire boat in the whole bathtub. Wee-ooo! An emergency call: a little rubber kitten is stuck up on the shelf! The firewoman raises the long ladder and climbs up, while the firefighter holds it steady down below. “Got you!” To celebrate, they both spray a rainbow into the air with the hose.
Favorite worldDayAstronaut & Astronaut Girl
Three, two, one – lift-off! The astronaut and the astronaut girl fly their bathtub rocket to the moon. Everything is so light up there that they can make giant hops: boing … boing … boing! The astronaut girl plants a flag with a duck on it in the moon dust, and the astronaut collects star sparkles to take home. On the way back they wave to the planets – and land with a splash, right back in the bubbles.
Wizard & Witch
The wizard and the witch practice new spells every night. “Hocus pocus, bubble bath!” – and suddenly a crocodile made of bubbles is swimming across the tub. Oops! The witch quickly waves her wand: “Abracadabra, be a fish!” – and the crocodile turns into a funny goldfish. Their very best spell is a secret just for you: tap ten times really fast – and any duck goes crazy!
Favorite worldNightThe tapping game for kids aged 3 and up: tap the clown ten times really fast – and it goes crazy! Parents choose in the app how fast it has to be.
Day, sunset and night – every world has its own cheerful children’s music. Have a listen! Five more worlds are waiting in the Duck Pack.
To keep screen time short, the app has a built-in play break: after the play time you choose, night falls. A short lullaby plays, the duck closes its eyes and falls asleep – music and water go quiet, and tapping won’t wake it. After a 10-minute break it’s awake again; only grown-ups can wake it earlier.
We built the app the way we want it for our own kids: colorful, full of giggles, no traps.
All ducks and all worlds at once – a one-time purchase, no subscription. Ducky, the clown and three worlds are free from the start.

Selected reviews from the App Store and Google Play, lightly shortened. Only people who downloaded the app can review it there; we do not check the reviews ourselves.
A squeaky rubber duck app for kids aged 3 and up: tap the rubber ducky and it squeaks. Tap it ten times really fast and it goes crazy – flapping wings, chattering beak and flying feathers.
Yes. Crazy Rubber Duck is free to download for Android and for iPhone and iPad. Ducky, the clown and three worlds with music are free for good. More ducks and worlds are available one by one or in the Duck Pack – a one-time purchase, no subscription.
No. The app shows no ads and needs no sign-up and no account.
We recommend Crazy Rubber Duck from age 3 – in line with child health experts, who advise keeping children under 3 away from screens. No reading needed: big pictures instead of text. Older kids turn up the difficulty and try to make the duck go crazy even faster.
Briefly! For children aged 3 to 6, experts recommend no more than about 30 minutes of screen time a day – TV, phone and tablet together – ideally with an adult. Keep screens off at meals and in the hour before bed. A few minutes of squeaking is already lots of fun. The app helps: after a play time you choose (15 minutes by default) the duck falls asleep and takes a break – only grown-ups can wake it.
Yes, you don’t need the internet to play. Only purchases and restoring purchases need a connection.
On Android phones and tablets as well as iPhone and iPad – in 17 languages, including English and German.
When you squeeze a rubber duck, air is pushed through a tiny hole with a whistle – that makes the squeak. In the app, one tap is enough and the duck squeaks just like a rubber bath duck.
14 ducks in funny costumes – from pirate and princess to astronaut. Almost all of them come as a boy and as a girl, which makes 27 characters; only the Pink Unicorn is one of a kind. Ducky and the clown are free, the others are available one by one or in the Duck Pack.
Every character has six crazy sounds of its own, Ducky even seven – including a whole children’s song, squeaked of course. That makes 164 crazy sounds. On top of that, every duck squeaks in three strengths: soft, medium and strong.
Yes – but only briefly and completely harmlessly: after ten quick taps they flap their wings, clatter their beaks and start quacking. Then they’re as calm as ever. Promise: no rubber duck has ever popped.
No. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Settings, counters and purchased ducks stay on the device, and a parental gate protects purchases and links out of the app. More under “Children’s privacy”.
Absolutely! Tell us about your dream duck – its costume, its favorite world and what it’s best at. A knight, a dinosaur or a baker? Maybe it will be swimming in the app soon. We’re also happy to hear about bugs so we can fix them quickly.
