As some of you have noticed the subreddit has slowed down in recent times and hasn't been kept up by me for a while.

Reason for this is because frankly I didn't have the time to moderate the sub, provide customer support here and do the general upkeep necessary because I've been fully focused on, what I intend to dub, v2.0 of placiibo.

Because I continue to need to put my focus away from this sub as I work on 2.0 and help out with the occasional support request, I will be closing this subreddit for new posts and comments effective immediately, leaving it in it's current state as an archive of sorts for people that might benefit from the insights written down by others.

Luckily almost all of you have found the more streamlined support option when in need of help or information, so I suspect the closing of this sub won't be experienced as that big of a loss.

I'm hopeful you find a place elsewhere on Reddit or the internet in general to congregate and discuss matters that are important to you.
If you however need support or have questions about placiibo, there are some useful options:

###For simple matters. For simple questions that can be answered in a tweet your best bet is to @placiiboapp on twitter (DMs on that account are not monitored)

###For typical questions
There's a whole catalogue of answers to typical questions that gets updated regularly that you can find here: https://support.poseidontech.app/

###For technical support or questions you can't find the answer to
You can open a support request on https://support.poseidontech.app/ or use the email option that's built into placiibo (this one sends the logs, very helpful with technical issues) to create a support ticket.
If you're not using the iOS default email app you can instead tap on Settings > Logs > Share and choose your favorite email app to send in the logs with your support request to support[at]placiibo.poseidontech.app

I want to thank you all for your support and being a big help to get placiibo where it is now. I wish you a happy, safe and healthy 2021!

P.s. The DMs of this reddit account aren't monited

I’ve been looking for a NFC writing solution for iOS for a long time now and I’m glad placiibo finally came along. However the decision to only give us two slots is beyond me.

Can we clear these slots after we use them? I’ve no need for a collection as my only intention to write to the tag once. If so, how does one go about doing it? Where exactly are the bin files stored?

Where can I find .bin files for animal crossing?

So I just realized today this app was actually past the beta which I was testing, and I’m THRILLED that it’s officially past that stage!!! I donated as well to keep a bigger library + because I’m SO THANKFUL for the makers!!!! It’s super easy to use and it’s a lot prettier now as an app, thank you guys so much for doing this

Adding in a few files, it gets a bit hard to manage the Library imo. I would suggest possibly adding a folder feature, or a way to tag/star/favorite specific files (like how you can add colored tags to files in the Files app), or even both. If I had to pick only one though, folders all the way. Maybe even a search function -or- just a way to sort, like alphabetical, recently added, recently used, whatever.

About specific files in the library: could we get a way to rename them without having to remove and then re-add the .bins? I didn’t see a way to do that.

I wrote an animal crossing villager amibo to on of my chips, and am curious if I can write another amibo overtop of the previous chip? I have tried a couple of times and it haven’t been successful.

Hi, I just got my NFC 215 tags today, but I don’t seem to be able to write a tag properly.

The check mark comes up, I’ve kept the tag there for another 30 seconds (is that long enough?), but my game still says it’s not an amiibo :(

Does anyone else use the newest iPhones for this? Should I try on my old 6s+, or XR instead?

Thanks!

where can i find a placiibo encryption key? please link it below

Has anyone tried using the “Powersaves amiibo Action Replay Power Tag” with the app? I used another app on my iPhone (11 pro max) and it reads that tag has an amiibo on it but not sure if it would work I would love to test this is no one has just thought I’d throw this up.

I just bought my cards and nfc bank is down. how am i supposed to get my encryption key?

I literally just got my nfc cards and I was all ready to use them when I discovered the website was down!!! I was able to find the files for all the amiibos I wanted but I cannot find a valid encryption key anywhere. There one in another thread here but the message said “this isn’t a valid key file. The selected file isn’t imported, please try again or select a different encryption key.

I accidentally gave a binary file the wrong name when saving it to the binary library and I don't see a way for it to be renamed or deleted so I can recreate it with the correct name. Is this possible at all?

So I bought cards that cost 8 bucks because there’s 20 of them. After they arrived today they didn’t work with the app. I gave it 15 tries but it never worked with this app. It always gave me the false blue check Mark. And trust me my phone was bare naked, nothing covering it. So I went to an app that could also read and write the tags and that app worked. I feel like there’s an issue with the app’s reading abilities and writing abilities. I have seen other people have the same issue so please end up fixing whatever problem this is.

Hi! I’ve been using and loving the Placiibo app for months now. It’s been working perfectly. I’m looking to update my iPhone to the new iOS 14 update, will that cause any issues?

EDIT: Just updated it works great!

I have tried searching the FAQ's and google searching and cannot find anything about how to load an encryption key or where to obtain one. Can anyone help?

I got the tags working just fine and managed to get Apollo and coco on my island, but today my phone just won’t write any new ones and I’ve tried everything under the book, I’m wondering if this has anything to do with iOS 13.7 because my phone automatically downloaded it last night.

I read the other threads where people have said to hold it there long after the check mark, delete and reload the key.retail.bin file from NFC Bank (which is where I got it in the first place), try other tags, try it without a phone case, find the sweet spot, keep trying the same tag. NOTHING IS WORKING. I'm at my wits end, I've tried all the above, have been through 10 tags different tags all of which i tried at least 5-10 times to reload, been fussing with it for a couple hours, and they all say "that's..... not an amiibo." Which honestly sounds kind of rude and is making me more upset, haha. I'm using iPhone 11.

Everything is working very well but I want to try different things on the same tag for now. Is that possible?

I know where to find the clean files for all the amiibos though I was wondering if there was a place where I get other peoples amiibo saves? I think it would be fun to download someone’s trained amiibo and fight it :)

So, I got 50 NTAG 215 from amazon by the brand AuFreedo. I got placiibo, download a key, and all the amiibo bins. I tried to write a tag 3 times on a iPhone XR, and once with my iPhone 8 Plus. They always give me a check in the app saying I scanned it, but when I try it in animal crossing, it says that it’s not even an amiibo. What am I doing wrong? Help!

Edit: I figured it out by looking at another post. You have to hold it down for a bit after the check mark. But yay I make 2 amiibos for my sisters!

I just downloaded the app and tried to figure out where to download bin files. I looked it up online but scared to download dodgy files (if there’s any). Or if someone could help direct me where to find it, like a website? Also, is there a user here that have successfully used this app for acnh?

Edit: Please forgive my ignorance, I’m completely new to this.

I have written several tags successfully, but with the last three I've tried to write, they say they have a stack error (new tags, so I'm not writing over old data), and won't register with the game. How can I fix what's occurring?

I purchased Placiibo & successfully wrote 8 tags, but now it refuses to write any more. I’ve tried a bunch of tags & no luck. Is there anything that can fix this? Thanks

I donated to Placiibo, but I still have ads, and I can’t add more files to my library! Please help.

So I have a Marshal binary that says Marshal - Marshal (or whatever) and I accidentally did a binary that says Molly - Zucker. How can I remove Molly - Zucker off my list? Oh and I donated for Placiibo+
