ACNH.Guide for Animal Crossing Reviews

ACNHGuide is amazing! It updates as the game updates, it’s smooth and reliable. My absolute favorite app to have in hand while I play. I personally love that you can edit the home screen to determine what YOU want to keep track of daily. It’s got small icons for just about everything so you can tell what it is at a glance. (I.e. talking to sable or collecting the furniture that falls from trees) They just updated it with the weekly visits from other characters so now I can track when flick/Redd/Sahara etc. pop by! They also just added lists, right now only a wishlist is available for editing but that alone kept me busy for a few hours....and don’t get me started on the items list which they just expanded 🙃 took me hours to finish my wishlist. I think my review is a mess but it really is the most convenient and well put together app and I personally did compare it to a couple others when I would see people on Instagram show what they would use. This one, although I personally think there’s one other that looks more aesthetically pleasing, is the absolute best and I hope they keep up the amazing work!

This guide is amazing! The recent update of critters and swimming was brought into ACNHGuide within days. And there were a NUMBER of additional upgrades at the same time. The only other app I use to implement my ACNH experience is a turnip prophet that is easier to see what the upcoming prices are expected to be and a recommendation whether you should hold or sell. (The one in this guide is perfectly serviceable and I used it for a long time! I needed an app that could track multiple turnip predictions for different islands, which is why I looked elsewhere.) Otherwise, You need a list of critters you can catch right this moment? Check!! Need a list of your daily todos that is customizable? Check!!!! Do you want to see gift ideas for villagers? Check! How about a separate tracker for your dreamies vs your current residents? Check and check!!! ACNHGuide has been 99.9% of what I wanted/needed and there is a promise of even more features that I am eagerly awaiting (tracking island visitors for sure!) I have been so happy to donate on several occasions and hope that other users will too! ACNHGuide has earned it for sure!!!!!

ACNHGuide has helped me immensely with tracking my in game progress. ACNHGuide grows as the game grows. For example, Redd and his art was added into the game and the developer remained right on top of things. This application provides practically everything you’d need to track your progress in NH. I am overwhelmingly thankful and gracious towards the developer for putting out such a quality product. I don’t know what I’d do without this. It would be cool if the developer could allow us to choose what our starting map was (like name what we chose in the game) and maybe a feature that allows us to plan our island, kinda like some of the websites out there. I’m not talking about terraforming planning but more building planning and where our current houses are and stores. Other than that, ACNHGuide has everything.

EDIT:
I just noticed the completely simplified flower breeding section. Absolutely amazing. Also, I was thinking maybe add the ability to mark villagers who have left? It may seem pointless but I like to keep a record of who has left my island. Thanks again for this amazing app!

ACNHGuide is awesome, I had previously been using my laptop and a spreadsheet to catalogue every item I got, but it got really tedious to need a laptop to be able to play a Switch game.
I have been using ACNHGuide for about a year, and it has been SO helpful! The layout is really intuitive and customizable, and I love being able to quickly look and see what fish and bugs I can catch. There’s even a starring system you can use, which I use to keep track of which bugs and fish I have 3 of to send off to Flick for models.
There’s also a Discord community that offers a place to ask questions, do trading, send friend codes, etc. If you have ACNH, you NEED ACNHGuide, it will make your experience SO much better.
Not to mention the developer is super nice and friendly, and actively tries to make their app available to everyone! I had an issue with ACNHGuide breaking, and they were responsive and quick to get the issue fixed.
Download ACNHGuide , join the Discord server, and enjoy Animal Crossing guys :)

As of September 10, 2021, there are 641 DIY recipes (unless I missed some). ACNHGuide lists only 624, including the temporary one Tom Nook gives at the beginning. There are at least 50 Reactions, but ACNHGuide lists only 47. For the most part, ACNHGuide is great, actually. Other than correcting/updating the above items, I think the developer needs to add the ability to add a second visitor on any given day; it is not unusual for me to find Wisp or Celeste on my island when another visitor is there, or for Wisp to appear twice in the same week. If the developer reads this and would like an updated list of DIY recipes, I’d be glad to send a free copy of my list.

UPDATE: This is late in coming, but THANK YOU, awesome developer, for adding the ability to show when two visitors have been on the island on the same day. Also, thank you for the other updates, too. My only question, now, concerns the actual number of DIY recipes; ACNHGuide indicates there are 1,828, but I went through and counted them - twice - and could find only 924, or thereabouts (I don’t have that figure with me). Where are the others, please? Thanks 🙂

A very helpful app and if fairly easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who regularly plays ACNH. However there are a few things I would suggest. First, I, along with others it appears, have had fairly regular instances where ACNHGuide “whites out” and I can’t do anything with it. It’s not a terrible problem because I just have to reset ACNHGuide and then it works, but it is a minor inconvenience I would like fixed please. Second, I don’t know if it’s in development or not, but I think a way to show your turnip price history would be nice, as well as having the turnip prices automatically reset on Sunday so you don’t have to manually clear out the prices. Lastly, this might just be for the completionists like me, but I would like to know if there was a way to streamline selecting everything from your catalog. For example, selecting fossils in the museum section automatically selects them in the catalog, and other things like that. It’s kind of an open-ended suggestion, but it’s something I though would be nice. Anywho, overall it’s a great app though. Good job.

ACNHGuide has never crashed and I’ve only experienced 1 bug where the fish and bug icons didn’t load in. But that is the only con and it only happened once from my experience. Everything else is great.

It has a good user interface that doesn’t overwhelm. I like the daily checklists, especially for talking with my villagers, as I had previously no idea how often I was neglecting them. But my favorite feature has to be the museum checklist. Being able to track the bugs, fish and fossils I’ve donated and caught has been amazing. And having the ones that are catchable being listed on the main page is a great feature as well. As far as I can tell all the info about months and times to catch these creatures is accurate and being able to filter the list is a nice bonus too.

The fact that ACNHGuide has been updated to fix other users issues and add features like tracking kk slider tracks and diy recipes has made an already great app truly a must have for anyone who plays this game obsessively like I do.

An additional thank you for being tasteful with the ad placement and frequency. I bought the version with no ads but I can’t see anyone complaining about their inclusion. Thank you for doing it correctly in my eyes.

More of a gush then a review. Hopefully you continue to support this amazing app as you have been. It’s made my experience with ACNH even better.

It was so helpful in fact, I even bought to remove the ads and give my man a lunch.
The interface is very nice and easy to navigate. I like how selecting “donate” automatically makes the fish/bug caught if you hadn’t had that checked already.
There are only a few troubles I have but they weren’t enough for me to take a star off my rating: One is to double check the villager’s birthdays. One of my villagers is Coco and ACNHGuide says her birthday is August 10th when it’s really March 1st.
Another thing I would fix would be to make sure the Northern/Southern hemisphere setting is consistent across ACNHGuide . I’m in the Northern hemisphere and as I was checking off my donation of the fish from last month in March, there were fish in the sorting list that weren’t available at that time in the Northern hemisphere where I am, but available in the Southern hemisphere like the dorado. Not the end of the world but they would be quality of life adjustments. I’m definitely going to be using ACNHGuide a lot.

PLEASE PLEASE FIX APPLE LOGIN! When you click to login with Apple the icon shows for 1/2 a second and then disappears. I’m using latest iPad, (not pro or mini), with updated Apple software and updated your software, it still does not work. We can not export any lists without being logged in! Thank you!

ACNHGuide has it all. You can customize it to fit your needs and keep track of everything! Even your villagers! I don’t open ACNH without it! I’ve actually been using this developer’s apps for Animal Crossing since New Leaf. The layout is very user friendly and the design is always improving. I look forward to future updates and hope they include the ability to customize names of the wish lists and can export haves and have nots😀. Also looking forward to being able to backup to the cloud. Keep up the great work, you do a wonderful job! Dinner’s on me!

ACNHGuide is absolutely fantastic. It has just about everything you could ever need in a New Horizons companion app.

If I could make one small request, it would be this: it would be soooo helpful to be able to sort things by multiple criteria. For instance - right now you can sort fish based on what’s available in a particular month (very helpful), and you can sort fish based on whether you’ve caught them or not (also extremely helpful), but you can only sort by one of those at a time. So when you have your fish sorted by month, then choose to sort by uncaught, it switches to showing you ALL of the uncaught fish available all year. It would be fantastic if I could sort by two criteria, like fish that are available this month that I haven’t caught yet, or bugs that are leaving this month that I haven’t donated. That would make ACNHGuide PERFECT.

ACNHGuide is amazing. It’s so close to perfect that I can’t even remove a star for the feature or two I wish it had. The front page for (customizable!) daily tasks and completion bars is absolutely perfect. The items and museum sections could use a tiny bit of work in my eyes, though mostly only display work. It would be nice if the art section had a more compact viewing option for instance. I’d also love if the items section had filtering like the recipes section. I love being able to filter it down to items I have but it would also be nice to filter out the items I have to make it easier to see if the stuff in Nooks needs to be added to my catalogue. So filtering out items I have all the variations of would be great for completionist purposes.

Get ACNHGuide though, seriously, my little complaints are minuscule compared to how useful it is!

I never review apps, but this one has totally changed how I play animal crossing! I love how easy it is to look up critters I haven’t caught, and how simple and incredibly effective the UI is. I love all the different sorting options between the menus. It’s really handy to be able to sort to see what I’ve caught vs what is still left for the month. The addition of selling prices (and their -20% calculations too)has made my life so much easier, and thus puts ACNHGuide above any other Animal Crossing guide! Now I don’t have to google the sell price every time I catch something new! Also, each critter has the months they are catchable very clearly written, and even tells you the hours they’re available and how much time you have left in the day to catch them! Amazing. I

The villager page is also nice, and I really like that it warns me when a villager I have has an upcoming birthday! Eventually If they add the roost I’d love to see their coffee orders and other preferences as well!

Another fun thing id love to see added is a daily check list perhaps? Like one that reminds you to dig fossils, hit rocks, send letters to villagers, water flowers etc etc.

Also I’d like to mention to the developers that the ability to remove ads is currently broken and I would LOVE the opportunity to pay you guys for ACNHGuide! I can tell a lot of love went into making ACNHGuide.

Addition: as of September 6th 2020 the latest update is so cool. The size view of fish added was amazing as well as the boot up screen. For me, I have a hard time trying to decern a medium and big shadow and with the visual aid it’s a huge plus.

I love ACNHGuide. It has everything. Coming off of a New Leaf app, it’s a little confusing (due to new categories) but it’s well organized it’s easy to get the hang of it after a few days. I love the turnip tracker feature and who visits your island when. The daily tasks of talking to each character, rock hitting, fossils, and the message in the bottle checklists are absolutely what I didn’t know I needed. For different variations of items it’s absolutely helpful to see what you have and don’t have since there’s so much more clothing and furniture items compared to past games. So worth the ad-free in app purchase.

I have enjoyed playing AC games for a very long time, and always needed to use websites or printed sheets to keep track of item prices and would constantly be checking at the museum to see if I had donated that gush it thus bug. ACNHGuide makes it so much easier to keep track of all of this. This is really all the functionality that should be in the switch online “app” for AC:NH.
I am not a big completionist for furniture or clothes, but I really want to get my museum filled out. The big difference for me now vs when I played past AC games is my wife plays this one with me. I really wish there was a way to sync ACNHGuide for two+ users so I know what she has donated and I can keep track of what I need to catch vs what is in the museum. I know I can open the critterprdia on my phone but ACNHGuide makes everything else so easy being multi user on the same island would be the icing on the cake for us.

ACNHGuide, no matter how much you play Animal Crossing New Horizons, makes your experience better. It’s clean and easy to use with only one small ad, which isn’t in the way and I don’t mind because it helps keep ACNHGuide going. It doesn’t bug you with annoying notifications which gives peace of mind. There’s a handy checklist for fossils, rocks, and diy on shores. You can also add which villagers are on your island to check off talking to them. The bug, and fish section is top-notch, allowing your to mark which you have caught and/or donated to Blathers. ACNHGuide shows you what is currently available at the time you are using ACNHGuide . This lets you quickly see if an animal you need is available. You can also add your items and DYIs, perfect to use with Nookazon to find out what DYI recipes you do or don’t have.

ACNHGuide absolutely deserves 5/5 stars as the features are amazing. I’m astonished that it’s free. The advertisements aren’t intrusive at all and appear in the form of small banners at the bottom.

The turnip calculator feature is awesome. I like the fact that it gives you probability percentages so that you can gauge risk. If you’re buying turnips every week, this tool will probably be more useful because you can input the trend from the previous week.

There’s also a flower breeding guide, and a mystery island guide. Those are pretty neat as well.

You can also select which villagers you have on your island, and they’ll appear on your daily checklist so you can check off who you’ve talked to that day. Not only this, but every villager has a profile that includes a gift guide so you can pick out their favorite clothes.

Cataloging items is fairly easy as well as there is a universal search bar on the home page. I’ve seen some people gripe about there not being a way to easily sync your catalogue, but if that’s a big concern for you, there’s a free Nintendo app that only does that.

All in all, this is a great companion app which I’ve already recommended to all of my friends who play ACNH as much as I do!

I absolutely LOVE ACNHGuide for ACNH!! It allows you to track your in-game progress with so many things, including fossils, bugs, fish, K.K. Slider songs, DIYs, villagers, and pretty much any and all items in the game. It also includes a turnip calculator for those playing the stalk market for bells, daily checklist for chores, weekly checklists for NPC characters and hourly updates of what creatures should be able to appear in your island (just to name a few things).

And each item or creature in ACNHGuide not only includes accurate pictures, but a TON of detailed information such as when/where certain fish and bugs spawn, all variations of certain items, individual villager information, etc. Couple all of this with pretty regular updates, and the fact it’s FREE; ACNHGuide is a must for players of ACNH. I cannot recommend it’s enough!!

ACNHGuide has nearly everything including catalog scanner functionality (you can upload a video scanning your nook shop catalog @ a Twitter bot and it’ll give you a link which you can use to import your catalog easily into ACNHGuide ), which is amazing. Enough for me to pay for ACNHGuide (ad removal, they’re not intrusive though so don’t worry about that, I did it purely because I like ACNHGuide the best out of the acnh apps I’ve tried and wanted to support the devs).

That being said, the only reason I can’t in good conscience give it five stars is because there’s no “only show uncatalogued” option for the items catalog like there is for the recipes and for critterpedia. If they’d implement the ability to filter out all the dresses or furniture, etc. I’ve already bought I’ll gladly change my review to five stars.

Thanks for making a good app, everyone. I appreciate your hard work!!

Honestly, ACNHGuide is fantastic. From villagers to critters to fossils, ACNHGuide has got your back for both pricing AND a donation checklist. I especially love that there are character portraits for the villagers and their birthdays!! I immediately bought the ad-free version because I knew I would be using this a ton (and I definitely have been lol).

I have a short feature wishlist that would basically take ACNHGuide above and beyond what it is currently, aka full on god tier:
- upcoming holidays/festivals/events/tourneys in addition to villager birthdays
- a filter for the fossil menu so you can see the things you already donated or still need to donate
- town tune composer (that’s a pretty niche feature but the websites for composing are kinda janky on mobile so if it were in an app, that would be dope)
- DIY collection list/maybe materials needed as well? to keep track of what DIYs you have/still want
- an optional notification feature for villager birthdays
- song collection list
- weekly stalk market tracker/to-do lists/furniture wishlists/general note section for whatever people may want to keep track of without having to exit ACNHGuide so that it’s all consolidated in one place

I’m blanking out on some other things I had thought of that I thought would be useful, but if they come back to me, I’ll edit this review LOL

ACNHGuide is actually really helpful, I like how with the fish it tells you what shadow size it is, it really saves me from catching too many of the wrong fish.
A small minor thing that would be nice is if you could add to the daily checklist yourself, like things you personally do on the daily i.e. water flowers. I’m not sure if that is a thing but I didn’t see it.
For more expansion on filtering maybe for like fish you could sort it with location and/or shadow size just to quickly see what fish it could be and if you need it (super minor though)
Another thing that would be really nice is if there was a notification option, I don’t really remember getting one, but if there was a specific bug or fish you wanted to catch, or an event coming up having the option to turn on notifications would be nice.
This one is really minor but still would be nice, a DIY list, like ones you have, or like what’s needed for them, I know you could probably just check using the nook phone, but I think it would be nicer if you could just search up which one your looking for, but honestly it could also be just fine without this addition
Again these are all minor things ACNHGuide was extremely helpful and I’m glad I downloaded it

App is nice way to organize your collection, yet there are some important issues to be fixed.
1. When searching for I caught fish or bugs, it does not take in to account your hemisphere, which renders that function useless. Would be a fantastic feature if it sorted out the critters available in the other hemisphere. This should be applied when searching by month, etc.
2. Ankylosaurus tail is not listed as a fossil in ACNHGuide
3. Do more with fossils.
4. Add percentage complete to show how much has been completed in collection of bugs, fish, and fossils separately.
5. Megacerops is misspelled

Appreciate ACNHGuide and think with some tweaks it could be very useful.

I saw ACNHGuide on reddit and it’s way better than i thought it would be

Thank you so much, ACNHGuide is great at helping me with the game, thank you.

I like how you can log things as caught and donated. However, on my island I have multiple villagers, so I haven’t caught everything donated. I would love it if those were separate.
But otherwise, good job! Thanks!

ACNHGuide, while new, is already a great resource for tracking different aspects of your island. Highly recommend !

Exactly what the title is. Thank you to the dev whole made ACNHGuide! We appreciate your hard work! This is perfect for trying to track what you’ve caught/donated/collected, as well as finding out a couple details about your villagers.

ACNHGuide is so cool, and I totally recommend it to anyone who plays animal crossing new leaf!

ACNHGuide is amazing for everything. It tells you everything you need to know about every fish, bug, fossil etc. Very helpful!

ACNHGuide is great and I will be using it in the future to see what fish and bugs I will go after next! One suggestion I do have though is adding a search bar for fish, bugs, villagers, and fossils so you can get to the thing you want easier, and faster.

you can keep track of what you do and don’t have and ur residents and it’s overall an amazing app. you did a really good job and it was worth the 2 weeks. i love it.

It’s looking great! Can’t wait to get more functionalities

The info is so hard to find online about what fish to get and all that jazz. Glad this is out (:

I’ve been dreaming of an app like this since ACNH came out. I love that it tells me all the possible things that I can catch at a specific time. I also love that it shows who on your island has a birthday this month. I personally gave the maker the $4 because it is worth every penny.

ACNHGuide is what I’ve been looking for ever since I started my island. Easy to navigate & super informative :)

ACNHGuide actually incorporates the information I am looking for, unlike other editions. Looking forward to additions and seeing how far this can go. Bravo!
