Review of Animal Crossing New
Horizons Apps available on Google Play.
May 23rd,
2020
I started playing ACNH in April and
now I am addicted in all the different ways. I am in a bunch of Facebook Groups,
Discord Channels, and of course I downloaded Apps. Tons of apps have been
developed since the game has come out and I really applaud those developers!!
In this review I will be reviewing what I consider the 32 most relevant apps
for the game. I have divided them into five different categories.
The Categories are:
1. Designs- Sharing and creating designs
2. Turnip Sales and Calculators
3. Guides- Straight out great info and
tips
4. Daily/Checklist Apps- Help with daily
tasks or just help you keep track of all your items outside game
5. Connections- Meet to trade, sell,
visit, etc in game
**Note if a App has the same name as
another app then I have listed what the app icons look like.
Designs
The following apps serve the primary
purpose to either create or share designs to help make your game look more amazing.
1.Nooks Pattern Designer
This app offers the ability to draw your
own designs, convert photos straight from your phone into designs, save them to
your own personal library and share them into a larger online library. You can
get tons of custom made designs from the online library. Simple app the serves
a basic creative purpose.
2.Animal Xing Designer
This app offers very basic drawing
tools and you have to create your own outside QR code or designer tag to save
your work. To me it seems like a lot more hassle.
3.ACNH ACNL Guides Custom Design
Codes
This is actually a wallpaper app that
a developer has converted into a source for players to find QR codes for custom
outfits and designs. You save your preferred design to your phone to scan
later.
4.Nookpedia
This app is a data base for players
to store and share their custom designs. Easy to use. This also offers a Market
place for items. Then it also offers a Insect and Fish checklist guide you can
use as well.
Turnip Sales and Calculators
5.AC Turnip Broker
To be honest I could not figure out
how to record several weeks of information so that it would give me a
prediction for best day to sell the turnips. If anyone else has input on this
they are welcome to add in.
6.AC:TC
This helps you determine if you have
possibly met your best sale day for your turnips and tells you the amount of
profit. Has nice written instructions.
7.Turnips
This one is pretty good for recording
and tracking your prices. But I sat forever waiting for it to actually give me
a prediction for the best sale day, which in the end it did not.
Guides
This section of apps are for the most
part 100% guides on how to play the game, with helpful tips and tricks.

Nook Milestone missions. This app also comes with its own discord channel. I
personally like this app myself, if it had a list of all the items in the game
it would complete!
Connections
There are only two apps under this
category. But they are pretty good ones.
31.ACNH Tools
This app has four main functions. The
first leaf tab is Nookazon. You basically can completely use the website from
this app. The second leaf tab is Turnip Exchange and you can basically use that
website completely from there. The third tab is the ACNH: Turnip Calculator,
which I have not tested. The fourth tab is a invite to their discord channel. I
accepted the invite but it didn’t change the status in app, so I still have to
go to discord to view the channel.
32.ACNH Exchange
Now I won’t lie, I love this app. I
use it DAILY. This app is primarily a events app with a little bit of sales.
You can host events for free or for fees, like having Celeste or Kicks on your
island. You can also host for Turnip sales. It helps you track who is coming
and going from your island. You rate people and they rate you, so can deny
someone from coming to your island if they have a bad rating. It also has a
nice side thing to track your fish, bugs, bones, art, DIY’s and songs.
