### 5/5 — Super Helpful!

*2023-08-10*

This app is great! It’s very useful and allows you to keep track of all kinds of things, such as which villagers, furniture, music, clothing, fossils, art, fish, bugs, etc you have. In addition, it shows you when villagers' birthdays are and upcoming events. It also gives times for when you can catch fish and bugs. The app even has a search bar where you can find specific items instantly. Only thing I’d suggest adding is a collection of villager photos so you can mark which ones you have. This app is wonderful and super helpful!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2023-05-20*

I still like to play ACNL on my DS. This app is very handy & helpful!! I did notice some items missing from the household inventory section. Like pancakes and various other items. Still highly recommend using this to track items. Thank you to the creator for taking the time to make this. There’s just sooo many items in the game. It’s definitely easy to miss a few.

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2022-10-02, version 6.4.1*

I love this app! It really helps especially with the painting, it’s awesome that you took the time to include how to tell if it’s fake or not. The only thing different is maybe a tap separate from the months that says what all is on the island but that’s not a big issue. 10/10 would recommend for those who are still interested in this game

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2022-09-23, version 6.4.1*

This app is great, it covers all the bases: critterpedia with a catalog feature, no pop-up ads, and villager info! It also has a very handy feature where it displays all the fish, bugs, and sea creatures you can catch in your game at that moment. Best game guide app!

### 5/5 — Exceeded expectations

*2021-11-29, version 6.1.2*

I am really enjoying being able to keep track of the items I have collected. Although I do wish there was a search feature.

### 5/5 — Best ACNL app! Please consider one for ACNH!

*2020-07-08, version 5.0.0*

Updating since I no longer play ACNL-
I still love this app. Recommend it to everyone who plays ACNL. If you guys get the chance to make one for New Horizons I’m there!!!! 

I love this app! I wish there were ones for each game. The only thing I'd change is making an entry for bugs/fish etc that allows you to check off what you have in the museum AND what you've personally caught. I had to choose between personal and museum for which to keep track of. It is a great app. I gave the extra $.99 for the non ad version. I figured since you went to the trouble of making this, that was the least I could do. Thank for making this!

### 5/5 — M A S T E R P I E C E

*2020-04-12, version 4.3.4*

I’ve used this app for years of ACNL playing! It’s UI is very basic but functional and easy to use. The app keeps track of my catalogue and caught critters even across updates without resetting. I love that it tells you upcoming festivals, birthdays, and what you can catch now...along with indicating if you’ve caught the stuff or not.

Can we get a version of this app for Animal Crossing: New Horizons!?

### 4/5 — Super helpful! But missing items

*2020-04-10, version 4.3.4*

I recently restarted my town in ACNL and joined a fb group where this app was recommended, so I downloaded it. It’s going to be super helpful when trying to complete my encyclopedia and catalog, however when going through and checking off the items I have already, I noticed more than a handful of items I have are not in the app, such as some of the fortune cookie prizes, the white wood flooring, and some of the Harvey’s campsite/RV furniture. I will continue using, but updates to the catalog list would be appreciated :)

### 5/5 — Useful for ACNL Fans

*2020-04-04, version 4.3.3*

I have been using this app since I started playing ACNL, and it has been incredibly useful! It works great as a detailed guide for catching creatures, for character’s birthdays and coffee preferences, for keeping track of fossils, and so on. This app has helped tremendously with my game experience, and I recommend it to all ACNL players, newcomers and seasoned fans alike.
