What's New in placiibo

2.0

June 2, 2026

placiibo 2.0 is the biggest placiibo update yet. What started as a focused amiibo backup writer has been rebuilt into a full all-in-one amiibo collection manager, catalog browser, game compatibility guide and NFC toolkit. Almost every part of the app is new, redesigned or expanded. New in placiibo 2.0: • Complete collection tracking Build and manage your amiibo collection in detail. Mark amiibo as owned, add them to your wishlist or mark them as favorites, track quantity, condition, ratings, notes, custom tags, purchase cost and current value, and see statistics about your collection over time. • Full amiibo catalog and game guide Browse a complete and always up-to-date amiibo catalog with characters, series, release information, compatible games and in-game benefits. See what each amiibo does across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS titles, or start from a game to discover every supported amiibo. • Powerful search, filters and layouts Search by name, character, series, type, custom tag and collection status. Filter and sort your collection, switch between list and grid layouts, save your preferred layout and sorting options, and customize which details appear on collection cards. • Expanded NFC scanning, backup and writing Scan and identify amiibo, create personal archival backups, write your own amiibo backup files (.bin) to compatible tags and devices, and manage larger collections faster with bulk scanning, bulk import and bulk collection editing. Supported options include NTAG I2C Plus 2K, NTAG215, Flashiibo, N2 Elite and PowerTags. • Game data editing Edit supported amiibo game data and write changes back to your amiibo, including support for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. • Market value insights Track purchase cost, current value, historical collection progress and market price trends for the amiibo you own, with value graphs to help you follow your collection over time. • iCloud sync and expanded import/export Keep your collection synced across devices. Import and export data using placiibo backups, CSV files, amiibo backup files (.bin), ZIP archives, FCA archives and all-in-one backup files. • New iPad, Apple Watch and tvOS experiences placiibo now supports more Apple devices than ever, with an iPadOS experience, Apple Watch support with complications, and a tvOS app for browsing your collection on the big screen. macOS and visionOS are also supported in iPad compatibility mode. • Widgets and system integration Use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, find amiibo, games, series, characters and types through Spotlight, and unlock Game Center achievements. Siri Shortcuts can scan amiibo, open amiibo, show filtered collection views or statistics, and toggle owned or wishlist status. • Customization and accessibility Personalize placiibo with color themes, alternative app icons, configurable layouts and card details. This update also includes accessibility improvements throughout the app. • Redesigned from the ground up placiibo 2.0 includes a new interface, improved onboarding, clearer collection workflows, better performance and many reliability fixes. Existing users can keep using their saved backup data, now with far more ways to organize, explore, value and preserve their amiibo collection.

I can’t actually scan anything…

Please please please suppress the Apple Pay display when scanning the NFC tags. The fuction of the app is in the name and it’s not even possible because of this one oversight. Other than that, this is such a robust, wonderfully crafted amiibo archiving tool.

Already paid for functionality now locked behind subscription

Paid for the app 6 years ago, since then I was able to write backups from storage directly to a tag. After the latest update it's impossible without an extra subscription.

Instead all the new bloat functionality I really don't need is available. But the one purpose the app originally was for and users paid for is now locked behind additional costs.

Worst kind of surprising longterm users with an update...

Would be fair if old users could decide on keeping the old app version (similar to how GoodNotes handles it) or at least let them keep the features they already paid for.

Really that gets fixed

Response from developer

Thank you for your review, and we completely understand your concern! We want to clear this up right away: we would never revoke features from our early supporters. We made sure legacy users retain full access to everything they originally paid for, including unlimited NFC tag writing from storage. If you are being asked to pay for this, it is an error. Please reach out to us via the in-app support option so we can troubleshoot your issue immediately. As a legacy user, you keep all your original features. We look forward to getting this sorted out for you!
