very easy to use, writes amiibos quickly with no issues !! but you have to pay if you wanna make more than 2 different amiibo characters :( update : nevermind ! i read another reviewBUT, i found a bug (??)i deleted the app on accident ! so i redownloaded it and went to the library. ( i previously had 2 files with amiibos on them ) but then, when i opened the app, they were gone !! when i hit the plus icon to make another file to replace the other ones, it askes me to pay for placiibo+. is there a way to fix this ? or , do i have to pay because i essentially used the said ' free trial ' that was given ?
Consistently Inconsistent

This app tests my patience every time I use it. I currently have an iPhone XS and purchased the full version after the free trial went well, I’m not sure this was the best use of $15.Since then I have had mixed results, most of them aggravating. Some NFC chips write instantly but most take numerous tries. Keep in mind this has rendered some of my NFC chips useless as they can only be written once, and this has cost me more money. There are times where no matter what I try this app will not work but if I close and restart the app it works. I wish the app wouldn’t say the write was successful after a certain amount of time if it didn’t write anything, it seems to do this after 30 seconds or so of being on the write screen, and it is misinforming and very frustrating please correct that. I’ve purchased a different device that is only for writing and reading NFC chips and it instantly reads the NFC chips I have. I know my device is not the newest but on other NFC apps my phone will pick up on the chips instantly as well, much like the Nintendo Switch does. This is definitely an issue with the app, not my device or the NFC chips I am using. Overall if you have a lot of patience and want a below average experience this app will get the job done, but it will take 3x the amount of time as some competitors and is also more expensive.
Great idea flawed execution

I want to write more that 2 amiibo on, I can have a total of 10 villagers on my island at once, isn’t the whole purpose of amiibo cards meant to be that villager hunting doesn’t have to happen? Why can’t I delete a one of binary, it doesn’t hurt you, if I am really invested then I will buy more Slots, I just downloaded the wrong villagers! What am I going to do now? This is a short sided response to a problem that isn’t even there. I understand that to keep this app up you need money, I get that, but I already watch adds every 10 seconds. Why do I have to pay to delete space? That would be like having to pay money to put trash in the trash can. That doesn’t make a lot of sense does it? If you could respond and help me figure out what I am not understanding, It would be greatly appreciated.
Amazing

As someone who’s not willing to waste hundreds of dollars on pricey amiibos, Placiibo was and still is my hero! If you’re willing to spend a bit of money purchasing supplies, then you’re pretty much ready to go. Just buy a weekly subscription, and finish scanning and making all of your amiibos in that period so you’re only charged with $2.49. It’s cheap, even to buy a lifetime subscription it’s only 15 dollars. If you find a tutorial, this is a simple app to navigate through. 10/10, definitely recommend to avid Switch players.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind review and recommendation! I’m really glad placiibo has been useful and easy to navigate.
