### 3/5 — Well done but

*2025-11-17, version 2.0.5*

The category of residents does not work at all, even the search for general residents there does not work. Catalog search... as soon as you enter something in the search field and tap on a result, they disappear and you have to search again 😩the function create custom lists is great.... but you can't sort them later or prioritize the urgency. (I bought the pro version and only discovered the errors later)

### 5/5 — Make new ones

*2025-06-14, version 2.0.5*

None of the dodo codes work

### 4/5 — Ok

*2025-02-13, version 2.0.5*

So I was going to get this app to post my dodo code but I tried to and I did not see the button for that I don’t know if it’s just me or it happens to someone else but i keeping the app because I can see dodo codes to visit people please check the app devs and fix it.

### 3/5 — Shut off

*2024-10-26, version 2.0.5*

App shuts off whenever I try to look up residents.

### 4/5 — Villager page won’t load

*2024-06-27, version 2.0.5*

A great app to keep on top of what you’ve found but my villager page won’t load.

### 4/5 — Bewohnerliste?

*2023-12-13, version 2.0.5*

ich mag die App sehr, aber seit einiger Zeit wird mir nicht mehr die Bewohnerliste angezeigt. Ich klicke auf "Bewohner" und es ist leer und die Bewohner, die ich irgendwie markiert habe, laden ständig nur. Was tun?

### 3/5 — Super appli avant l’abandon

*2023-03-21, version 2.0.5*

Je m’en servais il y a 2 ans quand je jouais énormément à ACNH et c’était une super appli ! J’ai relancé le jeu, l’appli avec, et malheureusement aujourd’hui elle plante… Elle ne garde rien en mémoire lorsque je check les créatures que j’ai attrapées. Je vais quand même m’en servir pour Rounard mais c’est tout :(

### 1/5 — Update needed

*2022-05-17, version 2.0.5*

Is there going to be an update soon? There is glitches with the catalog not keeping the star icon when tracking things I’ve collected. And I also have had 2 residents move in that are not in the list of residents

### 5/5 — New Villagers aren’t available

*2022-04-24, version 2.0.5*

Really great app to help with progress on animal crossing. The new villagers aren’t available to be favorites or housed on the island to check them off.

### 1/5 — Ac Helper

*2022-03-21, version 2.0.5*

Ich finde die App gut, gut sage ich weil die neuesten Sachen fehlen. Schade das die letzt Aktualisierung so lange zurück liegt. Meine Bitte an Sie Aktualisieren!!!!!!

Butte Updaten!!!!
