Love know my Amiibo’s are safe and sound in the App

Worked a treat first time, been loosing them over the years to be able to backup and keep this way is great

Couldn’t get my refund

:(

Too long to update

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.

No write function

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!

Buying a once FREE app?

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.

Doesn’t support New Amiibo

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?

Not up to date

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 »

Doesn’t work to write to NFC tag

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$

No new Amiibos

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

Good Ol’ Reliable!

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

Very nice, please update

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

Needing some support but have no idea how to contact

I can’t seem to import the retailbin file. I keep getting 0/1 files uploaded. Please help

App Works As Desired

Original Review: Have used the app a bunch in the past without issue, but it seems something has broken recently (I think with iOS 18+, probably an NFC API change) and now when attempting to write a tag, my iPhone activates Apple Pay / Wallet and I cannot write tags anymore. Otherwise app has worked great.

Update: Developer responded and indicated that it shouldn't be happening and to reach out to support for additional assistance. I do believe something must have changed with my use case attempting to write to a Flipper Zero, and it was probably an update to that device that broke the previously functioning behavior, and not the app or iOS. The app works as intended for other use cases and the issue I experienced is not related to the app itself.

Doesn’t work on iPhone 12 Pro

Refuses to detect any amiibos at all. An utter waste of money. Avoid.

Great App

The app works great and is fantastic for all your need; the price tag is hefty (I got
it when it was a bit cheaper) but overall I don't regret the purchase. Great app!

Great app, but…

Tried to contact support to ask about ‘ally pro’, error 400. Tried the email address on that page - bounces no such user.
How do we get support?

DON’T BUY THIS UNSUPPORTED APP

Newly released Amiibos are no longer supported and the developers are not updating this app - prove me wrong. Efforts are focused on the Pro version instead.

But they are still selling this version as-is for uninformed buyers.. smh.

Manque de support

Il manque les derniers Amiibos de Splatoon sortit récemment. Le support de ces amiibos sera possible prochainement ?

Complicated and ineffective

Unfortunately could not get it to work but the competing products did without issues. Major let down, buyer beware!

I enjoy it :) (would love to add my boxed amiibos)

I do really enjoy this App! There’s a lot of small slice of life features like functionality with other games and there release. I like that it’s easily organizable and scanning in my Amiibo took me a second to figure out but once I did it was cool 😎 I will say the one thing I’d really like if they added was some way to enter my boxed amiibos as well. I get this app is to save your Amiibo on your phone and all that fun stuff but I use this more as a see what I have in my collection kinda thing. It be nice to just press a button and it say “these are the ones you have in box” and when you try using your phone as a Amiibo it just won’t work, I’d be fine with that. But good app.
