### 1/5 — Couldn’t get my refund

*2026-05-24, version 2.2.2*

:(

### 1/5 — Too long to update

*2026-04-02, version 2.2.2*

Amiibos are being released and this app won’t let you add them since they’re not listed. Last update was 9 months ago. Paid for in app upgrade but pretty useless now.

### 1/5 — No write function

*2026-03-24, version 2.2.2*

The description suggests that you can use your phone to duplicate Amiibo’s without actually needing the physical Amiibo, but that’s not the case. Even after unlocking the app and loading all of the Amiibo.files I’m still unable to replicate an Amiibo using my phone.

DO NOT BUY!!  Want refund!

### 1/5 — Buying a once FREE app?

*2026-01-17, version 2.2.2*

Had this app for a few years, great way to track my library I will admit. But recently I saw the free version was not only removed from the AppStore but also from my purchase history?? Very anti-consumer if I do say so myself and I advice others to steer clear since we have no clue if this version will stay up or get replaced by an even more expensive version.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support New Amiibo

*2025-12-05, version 2.2.2*

Stay far away, haven’t been able to update the app in months. Some Kirby Riders and Metroid 4 Support would be great. How long are we gonna have to wait?

### 1/5 — Not up to date

*2025-11-27, version 2.2.2*

The developer released a clone of this application 3 weeks ago for €18, but hasn't updated it…
Seems like « the number 1 amiibo is a scam »

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work to write to NFC tag

*2025-11-05, version 2.2.2*

I don’t understand the good reviews. I have paid for this app because I wanted something to have all my amiibo collection to scan on my switch, instead of carrying all my amiibos with me. I learned after purchasing that you can’t scan directly to the switch, so I bought NFC tag device which can store amiibos and scan on switch. I managed to scan and import my Amiibos in the app, but when I try to scan and copy them to my NFC tag device, it’s always gives me error/failed to write. So this app is pretty useless to me and a waste of 12$

### 3/5 — No new Amiibos

*2025-11-01, version 2.2.2*

Works well if you just want to make older amiibos, but hasn’t been updated with new amiibos in almost 2 years.

### 5/5 — Good Ol’ Reliable!

*2025-09-03, version 2.2.2*

Ally makes it easy to save my amiibos! My pets have gotten to a few amiibos in the past so I got this to back mine up

### 4/5 — Very nice, please update

*2025-06-29, version 2.2.2*

Great app! Can you please update for Zelda, Echoes of Wisdom?
