Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) has captivated players worldwide with its charming gameplay and endless customization options. To enhance your island experience, many players turn to guide apps. This guide focuses on How To Set Up Acnh Guide App to maximize its potential.
This FAQ-style article answers common questions about setting up and using the ACNH Pocket Guide app, offering valuable information to both new and experienced players. We aim to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly resource for all your ACNH app needs.
How We Handle Your Data
We value your privacy. To understand how we protect your data, please refer to our privacy policy. Rest assured, we don’t and never will collect your personal information. This app is a free resource dedicated to assisting you throughout your ACNH adventure.
Syncing Your Collection with Your Game
The ACNH Pocket Guide offers multiple ways to sync your in-game collection:
-
ACNH Catalog Scanner App: Use the dedicated Catalog Scanner app designed specifically for seamless catalog scanning. Detailed instructions can be found within the ACNH Pocket Guide app, on the Catalog Scanner page. This is often the quickest method to sync your catalog and track your items.
-
Website Import: Employ a website that allows you to import your collection using a screen recording of your gameplay. Access the tool here!. Simply record yourself scrolling through your in-game catalog, and the tool will automatically identify the items.
-
nook.lol Integration: The ACNH Pocket Guide features legacy integration with nook.lol.
Due to the app’s independent nature (not affiliated with Nintendo or ACNH directly), direct in-game data syncing isn’t possible.
Mastering Custom Lists
Custom lists enable personalized organization of your items and tracking of quantities. You can categorize and manage your inventory according to your specific preferences. This is an especially helpful method if you are working on multiple projects or are trading with other players.
To utilize custom lists, navigate to the [Wishlist] page and tap the green list button located in the bottom right corner. Tap the green [+] to create a new list.
Long-press any item not already in your Wishlist and select the desired list to add it. You can even customize the item quantities for each list individually. This is particularly useful for tracking the number of materials or items you need to craft something.
To view the contents of a specific list, tap the green list button in the bottom right corner and select the list.
Tip: For frequent list additions, designate a default list within the [Default wishlist] setting on the settings page. This simplifies adding items to your primary list.
Time Traveling in the App
For time travelers, the app can sync with your in-game time without altering your phone’s clock. Locate the time travel settings at the bottom of the Settings page to enable and adjust the date and time. The app’s internal time will then progress in real-time. For easier access, add these options to your home page. (Tap [Edit Sections] on the home page, or [Edit home page] in the settings, and enable [Time Travel])
Configuring Notification Preferences
Customize your notification settings on the home page by tapping “Edit Events” in the top right corner of the events section. Alternatively, navigate to Settings and select “Edit event notifications.” Here, you can tailor the events for which you receive notifications and adjust the notification timing. This ensures you never miss a birthday, meteor shower, or other important island event.
Accessing Gameplay Mechanics and Tips
The “Guide + FAQ” page provides integrated access to the ACNH FAQ website, courtesy of its writers. You can also visit the website directly here! This is a valuable resource for learning about game mechanics and discovering helpful tips and tricks to improve your island life.
Managing Multiple Islands
The “Profiles/Islands” page lets you manage multiple islands with separate collections and hemispheres. You can also customize the date and time for each island if they differ from your primary one. This is useful if you have multiple save files on the same console or if you play with friends on different islands.
Viewing Weather Forecasts on Your Homepage
While complete integration of MeteoNook weather tracking wasn’t possible, a separate page offers quick access to the official website’s weather forecast.
Backing Up and Restoring Your Data
Multiple data backup options are available on the “Backup + Restore” page. Cloud backup is recommended, but you can also back up to your Files, Clipboard, or export all your data (recommended for switching phones). Regularly backing up your data ensures you won’t lose your progress if something happens to your device.
Seeing More Information About an Item
Tapping an item’s name in the popup window displays the raw data linked to that item. This can be useful for understanding the item’s properties and how it interacts with the game.
Understanding Villager Entry Buttons
The villager entry screen contains various indicators. The top left corner indicates if you’ve obtained the villager’s photo. You can also filter villagers by photo status. The bottom left cabin denotes completion of the villager’s Paradise Planning (DLC) request. The moving boxes indicate if the villager previously resided on your island. The heart signifies a favorite villager currently living on your island, displayed on your profile.
Account Deletion
To delete your data from the cloud backup service, email [email protected]. Alternatively, manually erase all data by uploading a blank collection to your account. Upon email confirmation, all cloud data, including your collection and to-do list items, will be deleted. Following deletion, access to your account and associated data will be revoked. A new account can be created if needed.
Data stored on cloud backup services may be deleted if the account remains inactive for an extended period (typically a year). This ensures efficient data management and user privacy. While deletion is scheduled, data may persist longer unless explicitly removed by the user through the aforementioned process.
