Stability fixes and small performance improvements

### 9.1.0 — 2026-02-03

I've been hard at work on my little app island! Yes yes! Here’s what’s new!

Fresh from the archipelago


Happy Home Paradise – A whole new section for your vacation-home vibes. Browse HHP items, peek at details, and spot Happy Home Paradise and Poki right from your NookPhone home screen. Wardell would approve.

Golden roses – Golden roses are now part of your flower guides. Breeding tips, pairings, and details are all updated so your garden can shine. No black roses were harmed in the making of this update.

Easier browsing
Filters that tuck away – Filter bars now collapse as you scroll, so you get more room to browse on Art, Critterpedia, Fossils, Happy Home Paradise, Items, Music, and Villagers. More screen for the things you love.

Back button, everywhere – A proper back button is now on all the right screens, so you can always find your way home. Just like following the path back to Resident Services.
Polished details

Item details, redesigned – Item pages got a makeover: clearer layout, item variants, and ownership badges for each of those variants so you can see at a glance what you’ve got. Blathers-level organisation! (without the long speeches).

Home screen updates – New slides and links for Happy Home Paradise and resort life, so your NookPhone home screen feels a bit more you.

Under the hood
Many a bugs have been caught, fixed and donated to the museum! Blathers will be VERY excited!

Thanks for using NookPhone. We hope this update makes your island life a little smoother. See you on the island!

— The Gapps Guy

### 9.0.1 — 2026-01-07

### 9.0.0 — 2026-01-06
