The Duck Boutique. Every duck in your Pond Book now has a wardrobe: hats, specs, scarves, jumpers and wellies in five slots, worn on the map, in the Pond Book, in portraits and on postcards. The Boutique puts a new shelf out every Monday, with seasonal collections and a few dated Limited pieces, all bought with Ducats at the price shown. Nothing you wear changes how a duck is befriended. Waymarks. Libraries, railway stations, bandstands, statues, town halls, museums, bridges, castles and places of worship now work like ponds, so a town centre has as much to find as a park. The Waymark Book stamps each kind you visit and earns its piece after three visit days. Places of worship are visited from the path, and any stop can be hidden. Your Home Pond. A pond of your own in the Pond Book, with your ducks paddling about in their outfits under the real sky and weather, and twelve spots to decorate. Eggs for Ducats. A Pond Egg or Seasonal Egg hatches one of the ducks you've already befriended, and the odds for every duck and every plumage are shown before you buy. A Species Egg hatches exactly the duck you choose. Best Dressed. A theme each week; dress a duck to match and take its portrait for a medal, a few Ducats and a stamp. The reward comes from the portrait, never from sharing it. Also: plumage tiers for every duck (the rarest are gilded, with a glow), a wardrobe and colours for your walker, postcard frames and stickers, a wool basket that knits as you walk, favourite ponds with a name and trims, Vintage and Night map styles with footprint trails, name tags for your ducks, pieces behind Advent doors, a Pass-only piece every month with 10% off the Boutique, and your progress now syncs through your own iCloud. Saves from 1.4 carry over.

Duck snapshots. Tap the camera when you meet a duck, or straight after you befriend one, and Duckabout turns the photo into a postcard with the duck's name, rarity, costume and the date. Flip to the front camera for a selfie with the duck beside you. Share it or save it to Photos; postcards never show the map or where you were. Your first snapshot each day brings 5 Ducats, the first of each species stamps its Pond Book page, and your last 30 postcards wait in the Pond Book.

Seasonal theme packs, every year. Hallowe'en (10–31 Oct): a dusky, misty map, ducks in witch hats, ghost sheets and pumpkins, the jet black Common Scoter, and trick or treat at every pond, with hats and a pumpkin app icon to earn. Bonfire Night (1–5 Nov): fireworks after dark and a bonfire at every pond. Christmas (1 Dec – 6 Jan): frost and snow, ducks in jumpers and Santa hats, the Long-tailed Duck, parcels near the ponds, and an Advent calendar with a festive app icon behind door 24. Plus iPad windows of any size.
