Passport 

The passport service gives you the ability to:

It’s a great way for you to view your island’s details without touching your console.

Designs

The designs service allows you to: 

- Scan a QR code of a custom design from a saved image or on a camera. 

This is the only way to bring designs outside of the Custom Designs Portal into your game and is loved by many. 

Keyboard 

The keyboards service lets you: 

- Type chat messages that will appear from your character in your game.

- Resend the last message that you have typed.

- Message one or all best friends who are currently online and playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons 

- View your in-game Best Friends and see if they are online or not.

Catalog 

The catalog service allows you to: 

- Search by name or criteria (with category, colour, cost, size and if it's orderable.) for items that are in your Nook Shopping Catalog.

- View details about items like buying/selling price, the colours you have, whether it is customizable or not and it’s category. 

- View favorite items.
