Introduction

or you want to hurry through a badge challenge in style, there is no other option. Learn more about this quick-quacking
auto below.

The Interface (GUI)
If you're familiar with Play Buddy software, you'll see that Quack Buddy's GUI is streamline simplicity.
First take note of the Ducks area. This is where the game pieces and hints appear as you play. Below this
is the Stats area where helpful statistics are displayed: the number of games played, the number of tokens
won, and the best streak. That leads us to the interactive buttons.
The standard Show Hint
and Play Hint features exist for those who enjoy manual playing and just need some assistance now-and-then. For those who want the
quick shoot-em-up approach there is the Autoplay button which engages the autoplay and doubles as a Stop button.
Autoplayers may also find the Collapse feature appealing (it can always be expanded later) for space saving.
Quack Buddy also lists a few menu options: Options Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options allows you to access Quack Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Quack Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Quack Buddy. It contains backdoors links to each of Pogo's Quick Quack room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Quack Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Troubleshoot and Bug Report feature to use when Quack Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

How To Use
- Log on to Pogo games with your username and password.

- Manual players can use the play hint and show hint options.
- Autoplayers need only press the autoplay button to have Quack Buddy complete the games automatically.

Optimizing Performance
- Speed and Efficiency: Quack Buddy can play very quickly on the fastest setting, but this may reduce the efficiency on slower computers. So if the game appears sluggish or scores aren't as high as you would like, try the recommended setting of 5.
