## What is Amiibox?

Amiibox is the best Amiibo collection app with the ability to add amiibo to your collection by simply scanning their NFC tags and writing those amiibo to different kind of NFC tags.

The app works with:
- All NTAG I2C Plus 2K NFC tags and devices
- All NTAG215 NFC tags
- Flashiibo
- PowerTags
- N2 Elite Tags
- Other generic NFC reading/writing devices
so you can quickly restore your backups easely. 
You can also import your own .bin files if you prefer to keep your amiibo sealed. 

BEWARE OF CLONE APPS: Amiibox is the leading Amiibo writing app and there are clone apps that copy our design and description. Their functionality is far from what Amiibox offers so make sure you pick the original app for the best experience!

The app works with all amiibo ever released, including such series as Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Mario, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon etc. Please note that the recently released Kirby Air Riders and newer amiibos require NTAG I2C Plus 2K based tags or devices

Keep in mind that Amiibox will always support every single amiibo released without updating the app - just like magic!

Features:
• Superior, beautiful and user-friendly interface

Amiibox is built with privacy in mind. That means that no data is sent to developers or any other third party*. Amiibox does not send any amiibo data anywhere. Amiibox does not have any tracking tools in the app. All your amiibo data is stored privately on your device and only you have access to it. 

Note: Most iPads do not have a NFC chip so you can only browse the Amiibo collection on those iPads.

### 2/5 — .

*2026-08-03*

Maybe it’s just me but tell me why when I registered an amiibo (splatoon) on this it it wouldn’t let me claim the gears bc it was already linked to an account?? Mind u I had just made the amiibo

### 5/5 — No issues

*2026-08-01, version 2.5.0*

$10 for new however fair

### 1/5 — New amiibo

*2026-07-31, version 2.5.0*

Not recognizing the new Resident Evil amiibo

### 5/5 — Perfect Amiibo Tracker

*2026-07-16, version 2.4.0*

This app is perfect for keeping track of all amiibo that you need or have.

UPDATE: Somehow, iPhone SE can scan Kirby Air Riders amiibo now? Now that means any amiibo can be added into the collection without issues.

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2026-07-12, version 2.4.0*

Does absolutely nothing

### 5/5 — Honest review

*2026-05-29, version 2.4.0*

Works great for flashiibo pro and has no pay walls

### 2/5 — Warning: Permanently locks your NFC tags without warning!

*2026-05-24, version 2.4.0*

The app works for writing data, but it automatically and permanently locks your NFV chips so they can never be erased or rewritten again. There is absolutely no warning in the app telling you that this is a one-way, permanent action. If you only have one tag, do not use it unless you are 100% sure you want that character forever. Developers need to add a clear warning screen before writing.

### 5/5 — Great product!

*2026-05-18, version 2.4.0*

Worth every penny

### 2/5 — Can’t write anything!!

*2026-04-21, version 2.3.3*

When I put in the .bin it says error!!

### 2/5 — Meah

*2026-03-05, version 2.3.3*

This actually does work for most Amiibos, however I can’t get any of my new V3 Kirby star amiibos to scan but apparently they are supported in the app because I see them there in the missing folder. You can forget about using this app as your “owned Amiibo” list because there’s no way to manually enter that you own this Amiibo unless it can actually scan it. I also have the Tom nook Amiibo and Amiibo card, they both scan in fine and I can search them, which is probably the best part of this app is searching for your Amiibo by name, but for some reason, the second to last one I scan still shows as missing in the missing folder, but when I do a search, it’s still there in the owned folder, so this is a bug in the software.
