colliibo

After the quick new update my collection is back from the abyss, so I’m updating my review. Whew! Thanks for fixing that! I still think some new features like these would be very useful: in box/out of box, game compatibility list, info on Amiibo release date, option to enlarge photo of Amiibo, double tap on Amiibo to add to collection (makes it easier to not select/deselect by mistake), single tap could bring up info about a particular Amiibo on another page/window. Things like that. Thankfully, new Amiibo still get added.

Collibo is a very good concept application meaning to me an app that serves a pressing need for fans that would most likely not be developed by the product company/companies in question. The ability to track amibos in the marketplace, categorize them and organize them into your personal collection is a useful tool for those that have an interest in them. The app does this fine. My main issue is not the functionality but the design of the app. For an app that is somewhat tied to Nintendo I would expect better than an old drab looking background. Also the persistence of the upgrade page alert is a bit annoying. One functionality feature I do have issue with is when selecting amino compatibility users get taken out of the app to the Nintendo website compatibility chart. I tend to hate when apps do this because the browsing experience becomes sluggish and that is what happens here. Even though I have detailed the negatives more than the positives this is still a solid app. Users can search for all amibos by game series and easily mark them as purchased or not. Collibo remains a useful tracking tool.

Edit, September 2018: The app was updated to include new amiibo, and the developer even offered a great explanation for why the updates were delayed: lack of official HQ assets of new figures. I get it. I feel bad for complaining before. Now, if only the app would be updated to fit the iPhone X. Original Review: This is the best mobile app to catalogue your amiibo collection. There are web sites that offer more features, but this sleek little guy is easier to use and more attractive than any of them. Scroll through grids of these stupid figures we love so much, and tap what you got. It is worrying, though, that there has not been an update in several months. It does allow you to select from all currently-available figures and a few that are not out yet. For a while, newly-announced amiibo were quickly added to this app. There are several releasing in the coming months that are still not available here. Let's hope the dev at least updates when the new figures are released later this year. Still, give this a download. For now, you can fully log any figures or cards you actually own, and I encourage you to toss the developer a dollar to both remove the ads and offer support.

The app is great! Easy to use and up to date with the newly released amiibos. Amiibos are organized by category making it easier to keep track of each series. Only complaint is that the app is not quite responsive at all times and I wish there was a lock or a “double tap” method for selecting amiibos you have acquired. I often find myself trying to swipe left or right and end up selecting/deselecting an amiibo by mistake...thus making me go through my amiibos to check or uncheck them once again. It wasnt a big issue at first when I could keep count of what I had but there are quite a few of these and its hard to keep track of all of them...the app not having a double tap option or not being 100% responsive defeats the purpose of having it on your phone if you’ll just end up going through your collection over and over again. Please fix those issues and we should be good. *** Verified Full Version Purchased ***

This app is essential for anyone trying to keep up with their amiibo collection. It helps you keep track of ones you have, helps you realize if one is missing, and has a helpful feature that shows you your total amount. My one complaint is that the app updates very slowly. There have been new amiibo announced for a while now, but they have not been added to the app yet. However, that’s the only complaint I have, and I’m completely satisfied otherwise.
