How to get the Nook Shopping App on your NookPhone in Animal Crossing New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the game that just keeps giving. After the travesty that was Bunny Day, Nintendo has confirmed a suite of brand new features to come to the game very soon, and they are all incredibly exciting.

But even if you haven't been doing everything, and you're only just getting to your first upgrade of Nook's Cranny, there might be things in the game to earn yet that you don't know about. Sure, you have terraforming, but that doesn't mean you have every app for the NookPhone.

In fact, we recently got a brand new app, the Nook Shopping App, which allows your villagers to use the Nook Shopping service, usually found in Resident Services, absolutely anywhere on the island, ordering old or new furniture directly to you, or your friends, wherever you are.

It's a minor convenience, but if you feel like you're already getting to the end of what's possible in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, then this is the next big thing to unlock, especially if you particularly enjoying ordering furniture for friends, as I do. It's just like a nice hug in these troubled times, y'know?

So we're going to quickly run through what you need to do in order to receive the Nook Shopping App on your NookPhone in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and you might be surprised at how simple it really is…

It's truly simple. All you need to do is regularly order items from the Nook Shopping service until you finally reach 100 orders.

Once you reach 100 orders, you will immediately receive the Nook Shopping App on your NookPhone, just like that.

The only catch is that you are limited to ordering only five items per day, and no, the items ordered with Nook Miles do not count towards your overall total.

I recommend buying up the KK Slider music tracks every day and ordering extra furniture items for your house and island, and even your friends, as regularly as possible to get your total over 100 items in no time. Just make ordering items a part of your daily routine when you get your Nook Miles streak.
