Those were the only ones I was looking for - full 5 stars if it gets regular updates. ### 5/5 — Can you please update the app? *2025-05-03, version 1.3.0* Hey, you said you recovered the code, would you please add the new amiibos? ### 4/5 — Useful but slightly outdated *2024-01-07* This app has great organization, variety, and is easy to use. However, the last update was 7 months ago, so many recently released amiibo (such as the three splatoon 3 idols and the smash bros wave 2 figures) are not in the library. Other than that, this is a great app and well worth the price. ### 5/5 — Great app, easily accessible, and very user-friendly! *2023-06-19* Great app for creating your own amiibo! Was skeptical at first after seeing some of the reviews saying that there were problems with it, but I haven’t run into any. I was confused at first about the two key files needed, the locked-key and unfixed-key, but a quick Google search got me those. The library’s organization is great, which is a small thing but often overlooked by app devs, and it means you don’t have to spend ages finding the right file for each individual amiibo! Made 5 amiibo with it really easily. The only problem I had with making them was that the NFC reader/writer sometimes failed to write the amiibo data to the card, but I think that’s just because either it moved too much or there were other cards nearby interfering, so if you do streamline creation of them, be sure to keep the blank cards in a pile about a full arms reach away and keep your phone and the cards as still as possible. EASILY worth $4. ### 5/5 — Complete database and simple UI *2023-05-18, version 1.3.0* With the recent update to the database, this is again the easiest and best app to write NFC tags on the iPhone. No need to scour the internet, it’s all here. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-11-09, version 1.2.0* Please add acne series 5 soon! ### 5/5 — Great app! Works as described. *2021-11-04, version 1.2.0* Looking forward to the series 5 animal crossing Amiibos to be added. ### 1/5 — PLEASE ADD *2021-05-28, version 1.2.0* We have been waiting for at least a year. A YEAR FOR ALL THE AMIIBO’S TO UPDATE. PLEASE DO IT FOR THE BETTER FOR US ALL. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2021-04-18, version 1.2.0* Had no idea this app only lets you scan new amiibos and doesn’t let you import backup files! Such a waste - wish I could get a refund. ## Frequently asked questions about AmiiBot ### What does AmiiBot do?
