Island Life 101 is an app on the NookPhone in Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduced in the 2.0 Free Update. It can be unlocked by purchasing the Island Life 101 Service item from the Nook Stop for  400 Nook Miles.

Upon unlocking the application, gameplay tips appear in the lower-left part of loading screens, for example, before the player exits their house when starting the game. This tips are "provided" either by Isabelle, Tom Nook, or, once the player has visited the Archipelago, Lottie. Opening the application using the NookPhone allows the player to view these tips.
