Frequently Asked Questions
How much storage does the installed app use?
Duck Race is very lightweight! The installed app uses less than 10MB of storage on your device, making it perfect for phones with limited space.
Can I use Duck Race offline?
Yes! Once installed, you can create races and use all features locally without internet. Sharing races requires internet, but all your local races work perfectly offline.
What features work offline?
Available offline:
- Create and edit races
- Run races and see results
- Export race results

Requires internet: Sharing races (to generate share links)
How do I uninstall the app?
iOS: Press and hold the app icon, then tap "Remove" → "Remove from Home Screen"
Android: Long-press the app icon → tap "Uninstall"
Desktop: Go to chrome://apps, right-click Duck Race, and select "Remove from Chrome"
Can I still use Duck Race in my browser?
Absolutely! Installing the app doesn't remove the website. You can use both - visit duckracegame.com in your browser or launch the installed app. They share the same local data.
Will my races sync between devices?
No, races stored locally on one device stay on that device. If you need to use races on another device, share them via a share link (requires internet), or manually enter them again.
What if the install button doesn't appear?
Make sure you're using a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox). The app must also be accessed via HTTPS (which duckracegame.com is). If you still don't see the button, try accessing the site in incognito/private mode.
Is there a difference between the app and website?
No significant difference! The installed app is the same website running in app mode. It just launches faster, takes up a dedicated window/home screen slot, and works offline for local features.
