## What is ACNH Exchange?

This is a companion app for Animal Crossing New Horizons.

This app allows you to view a list of all collectables fish, bugs, and fossils. For each collectable you can see details about location, time availability, and pricing. We even list which months fish are available in the northern or southern hemisphere.

Want to earn bells by maximizing your Turnip trades? We allow people to host turnip sellers and buyers so you can buy low and sell high.

We give hosts tools for securely managing their guest list and keeping it bot free. For accountability we show usernames to ensure they match in-game and hosts/guests can rate each other. We use reCAPTCHA to prove the user is a human to prevent bots from joining lists and keeping people waiting. We only reveal your Dodo code once you invite another guest from your list and you have the ability to update your Dodo code anytime while keeping your line active.

For turnip buyers, we give you estimated wait times, host ratings, track your position in line, and have an optional push notification when you've been invited by the host to join.

Hopefully this app can help you better enjoy Animal Crossing New Horizons! #KeepOnCrossing

### 3/5 — Overall good

*2022-03-12, version 1.1.9*

It’s good but could have a few things fixed. For one I think we should have more options for the event type. The second one is bigger, reviews! I have gotten bad reviews for things I haven’t done! I think we should be able to explain what happened and the app could choose to leave or change the rating because I have a 99 and can’t get to a hundred because one rating and some lines are for 100’s only. Also the callouts. We should be able to ask why we were removed. Other than that great app! Has helped me out a lot

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2021-07-20, version 1.1.9*

Very helpful for turnip market & keeping track of your list of things that need to be finished. My only complaint is how items in the completion list are arranged. It’s suppose to go in alphabetical order but a few items on the list are arranged differently than the game’s alphabetical order. Other than that slight confusion it’s a useful app.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2021-04-23, version 1.1.9*

Thank you to the creator(s) for this app! It’s super organized and I like being able to communicate with the host! Something turnip exchange doesn’t have. It’s also nice that I can leave the app and continue to use my phone without fear of being locked from the queue. Something turnip exchange is also missing. Both are great but this gives more security and organization and I love that!

### 2/5 — Bare-Bones and Overbearing

*2021-03-27, version 1.1.9*

I used this app for over a year and really enjoyed it. The community was great, but unfortunately "was" is the keyword here. Not sure what changed, but many of the active users were all banned within the space of a day or so with little to no explanation from the moderators (no explanation was the most common - I got lucky and got a vague, unhelpful response to my own inquiry). In looking around at other similar apps, AC Exchange lacks a lot of features found in many others. However, AC Exchange was simple to use and fairly intuitive. Just don't come here expecting any kind of social experience anymore - it's clear that the developer wants to keep this from becoming a Social Media app. But if you do need a simple way to trade turnips or look for events, this app certainly works fine.

### 5/5 — Great app, amazing community

*2021-03-24, version 1.1.9*

I love the app! I love the acnh community! Everyone I have interacted with has been so amazing and kind. It’s great that we are all able to rate each other so you know that you are interacting with trustworthy people. I have been able to obtain items that I have been looking for forever!! I was finally able to sell my turnips at a profit! No more rotten turnip for this girl!

### 4/5 — Great app, needs a few improvements!

*2021-03-23, version 1.1.9*

This app is an amazing alternative to waiting for Facebook/Twitter/Discord posts. It’s simple to use, and very well thought out. However, I think the only thing it really needs is a direct message feature, just in case of connection issues between a single guest. That was a scenario I witnessed one of my first visits. The host had to give their discord in order to be able to help out the guest who lost connection. Other than that, great app!

### 2/5 — I want to love this app...

*2021-01-26, version 1.1.8*

I really do but after waiting in 6 separate lines over a span of a few days, (wait time was about 2 hours each line) just to make it to spot 5 and under, and have the host shut down the island is really frustrating. Not end of the world frustrating but let’s be real, still frustrating. You should be able to rate hosts who close their islands prior to getting to the end of the line. Or the host should have to commit to being open until they reach the end of their line. They can easily cap off how many are in line, so once you have a line, keep it open.

### 4/5 — Second opinion

*2020-12-15, version 1.1.8*

I want to clear something up, this app is the best! Most of the community is very generous! This app is very helpful when it comes to animal crossing. I felt I Coo Sony only have one rating because three stars doesn’t seem quite right for someone saying this app is AMAZING!!!!! This is by far my favorite app. I have made friends on here. But the developers have abandoned us. Just recently the app broke into a huge fight about something that I don’t want to go into since many painful words were said too many people. There was a terrible person on that app and I am glad to say they were gone now. This app is 100% appropriate for children though I just feel the developers left us in the dust during that time. You will never see this message and probably won’t respond, but I think you need to pay more attention to the app you created, please. :)

### 2/5 — Wonderful App, Terrible People

*2020-11-12, version 1.1.7*

I found this app while researching the best platforms to buy and sell turnips. I came across this gem and I enjoyed it for about three months. Some people who use this app are very untrustworthy and very rude. This app has players that range from many ages, making it a true hotspot for cyber bullies. I’ve seen more drama on this app rather than ACNH content. This app also allows you and others to rate each other, which can be seen by the public. Be careful what you do and what you say because it’s very easy to ruin your reputation. People are VERY sensitive on this app.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended!

*2020-10-17, version 1.1.6*

After trying a few other similar apps, this one turned out to be my favorite.  I love the expected wait time, and the chat with the host functionality.   The thing I would suggest is that if the user selected to view “open only” lines, and they are IN a line, that line should not disappear from their screen if it fills.  That freaked out several people in my line.  Now I know to use the “full and open” drop-down option.
