Companion for AC New Horizons

The information in this guide is all or mostly correct, from what I can tell. It looks like the developers are good about keeping information up-to-date. The UI is simple but looks nice, and everything is intuitive and easy to use. The aesthetic is cute, and the convenience of having all the information you actually need on your phone without having to scour wikis or gaming articles is very nice, especially while playing. You can even get notifications for when one of your villagers is having a birthday! My only complaint is really the sheer number of video ads. I understand that all apps these days have ads, and that’s fine. Banner ads are easy to live with, and the occasional video ad is okay. But with this app, I’m getting video ads every four taps, which is just silly. I’ve gotten a few video ads which simply do not load, forcing me to force-close the app and restart. This may be the fault of the advertiser, not the developer. Of course, you can always pay to get rid of ads, which I will probably do. But if you’re not willing or able to do so, and if having video ads on average every 12 seconds annoys you as much as it annoys me, it may be best to stick to using a wiki. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

I LOVE Animal Crossing and I really appreciate the efforts the developers have gone through to make this companion! I rated it 4 stars for now because there is incorrect information in some places, like the bagworm, as well as some wildlife straight up missing, like the sturgeon and no fossil section. I paid to remove ads to support the app, and I'm confident that the developers will update the missing and/or incorrect information. I'll definitely update this review and rating to 5 stars when all the information is correct. It seems like the New Lead wildlife is what's in this currently, which is probably mainly the same and suffices for now. I also assume that the countdown will be removed because clearly that points to this app was being released before the game released, so I'm sure there is an update coming soon for that. But I would also like to see, second priority to fully accurate information, is a tightened and cleaned up interface and to remove the slide/fade in from the right for text. I like the usage of the Animal Crossing font, but I personally think the app would just look nicer with a more basic font style that's maybe white or yellow with perhaps a brown or wooden looking background. Keep up the great work!

Pretty good app overall, but it is missing at least 1 villager if not more. It doesn't have Megan the bear who moved into my town, and i don’t know if this is the only missing character. Otherwise it is pretty helpful, just frustrating that i ran into a fairly big thing so early on. Also with the wildlife function it'd be nice to be able to separate between your normal island and a nook miles island, because when you select “catchable right now” it blends together things you can get on your island and the nook miles one. If there was another check mark to select catchable on nook miles island so the things on your island didn't coincide it would be very helpful!

I used to use a companion app for New Leaf which was really good so I was excited when I found this app. It is kind of similar. Overall the app looks really unprofessional and unpolished, but I can get over that. What I can’t get over is the fact that I can’t go to other pages within a 15 second span without getting an ad that has such small X symbols that when I press them they take me on a journey through my safari and the app store. I’m sorry, I know y’all need to make money, but the amount of ads on this app is astronomically bad. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem, maybe, if you could check off your bugs, fish, and villagers from the list and not have to click on each individual one. I’m sure the developers are just thirsty for money though, as is the rest of them on this app store.

At first this was the only ACNH app on the store. I could tell a lot was left over from ACNL, but info was scarce. Now there’s plenty of info out, but much isn’t making its way into this app. Further, it seems like the devs have given up. The calendar doesn’t have confirmed events, the countdown still has bunny day, and some pictures (fish/bugs)are cut off. I like the social “app”, but there’s no time so you never know how long someone’s island is open. Often I type in codes to find out their island has been closed. It would be nice to have an open and close time so people can list a schedule. That way we know when the island is open and when it’s closed. Adding a list for flowers and fossils would be nice too.
