Nook Shopping, normally accessible via the ABD at the Town Hall in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, could apparently be accessed via your in-game Nookphone.
In order to unlock the Nook Shopping app on your Nookphone, you will have to make at least 100 purchases via Nook Shopping. As there’s a limit of 5 orders a day, you’ll need to order 5 items for 20 days in order to unlock the app. This could be tracked via the Nook Miles challenges section.
About Nookphone
The NookPhone is a smartphone in New Horizons. It is included in the initial Deserted Island Getaway Package from Tom Nook of Nook Inc. Tom Nook gives the player the Nook Phone on the day after the island orientation party, after discussing the fees the player has to pay.
The NookPhone can be accessed by pressing the ZL button on the Switch controller, or SL when playing with a single JoyCon.
Nookphone Apps
The initial apps on the phone include:
- Camera, allowing a variety of filters and frames for taking pictures.
- Nook Miles, the primary interface for earning Miles.
- The Map, allowing the player to see their island in full.
- Rescue Services, letting the player pay a small fee in Nook Miles to be warped to the Community Center.
- Passport, a customizable profile of sorts.
Other apps players can obtain during their stay on the island include:
- DIY Recipes, allowing the player to view their learned recipes and ingredients needed.
- Call Islander, which grants the option to host another Deserted Island resident via local co-op.
- Critterpedia, which displays every Fish and Bug the player has caught so far.
- Custom Designs, which allows the player to create or edit custom designs.
- Chat Log, letting the player view past messages as well as messages from Best Friends.
- Best Friends List, which displays a player’s Best Friends and allows them to send messages.
- Island Designer, which allows the player to place paths and alter the island’s waterscape and cliffs
- Nook Shopping, which is identical to the feature accessed at the Nook Stop. This is unlocked by purchasing items 100 times within the Nook Stop’s Nook Shopping feature.
