Miitomo is now available in the west. After making us wait all morning, the app has just gone live on Google Play and iOS App Store.
If you're on Android and are already using the Japanese version after following our guide, you'll be able to automatically update the app by downloading it on the Google Play store - the old version will be replaced and your user data retained.
Android users will also be pleased to note that the new update - 1.1.1 - solves the annoying upper case text issue that was present in previous versions.
iOS users who followed the same guide will need to re-download using their original iTunes account (not the Japanese one used to obtain the app in the first place) but fear not - as long as you've connected your Nintendo Account your progress will be retained and carried across.
Let us know what you think about Nintendo's first exclusive smartphone app by posting a comment below.

Yes! DLing now!
YES, taking a while to get loaded tho once i linked up my account!
All I need are friends and I can earn lots of.......coupons?
The new era is here, everybody! ...now I just need to find some friends.
Of course they wait until AFTER I get to work. Oh well. I know what I'll be doing on my lunch break!
DLing now ^.^
FINALLY!
I'll try it later. I don't expect anyone else nearby to use it, so I probably won't get much use out of this
Damn, my country isn't available as one of the residence options. Is there a downside to choosing UK instead?
Still says not available in my country
"Nintendo's first exclusive smartphone app"
Does this phrase get thrown around a little too lightly? What about that Pokemon game?
I haven't tried the Pokemon game, as I'm not into Pokemon. Also, as long as Miitomo does not have a Windows Phone version, I'm not likely to try that either.
already downloaded, linked my account and now downloading the update or data pack or whatever comes after linking
@BornInNorway81 Pokemon is not Nintendo.
Breifly had an error code 801-1700 on logging into my NNID on Android, but after a couple more attempts, it's let me in and is now downloading the data...
The app keeps crashing on my android phone...
Not a good start.
finally, literally just now
@DWWM what kind of phone do you have?
I can't find it anywhere in Google Play...
Force closes instantly on my Nexus 6. Nice work.
Works just fine for me so far... Will have a proper play with it later... But it looks better than I thought it would - just not sure how many friends I can get into it?!?
Anyone figured out how to use your original Mii? Seem to get the following message:
Copying of this Mii has not been allowed by the creator. Unless copying of the Mii has been allowed it cannot be used in Miitomo.
@RoomB31
OnePlus One.
Does anyone want to add me on it?
@jestermx6
That's exactly what's happening on my OnePlus One.
So I have android 4.4.4 and I have Galaxy Core Prime. Should be able to run it but it says its not compatible. Anyone having this issue?
I hope there is a point converter sometime in the future, like 100 plat points for 1 gold point or 5 gold points for 50 plat points.
Not in Portugal =´(
It's working fine on my ipod touch and I'm downloading on my smartphone so I can get all the platinum coins without having to actually add real friends.
Looks like my tablet isn't going to work with Miitomo. Bummer.
@Steven1094 Yea that really does suck, I have been looking forward to this for months. What really worries me is does this mean Pokemon Go will not be compatible as well?
Does not work on rooted devices? WTF NINTENDO?
It says it's not available in my country. I live in Canada. Canada is in the West.
@Steven1094 Get the apk file?
It should still let you sign into your account?
Sideloaded on my Amazon Fire Phone - will actually start but get stuck on loading.
Will not work on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.
So far only works on the Ipad Mini 2.
@DoctorOverbuild Will you still receive updates and whatnot?
@SladeStrife Not sure, I'm sure with each new update a new apk file will be uploaded somewhere so you could install that! it wouldn't overight your save data i don't think!
@Detective_TeeJay Pokemon is part of Nintendo. Pokemon is owned by 3 parties.
Anywayyyyy... I guess happy "gaming" for everyone who are in the choosen countries?
@DoctorOverbuild Awesome I am downloading now! Thank you for the info!
MIITOMO IS CRASHING??? What a way to start. The app is not working for me. It crashes straight after I tap the app with the Miitomo screen showing up and then Crashes. This is on iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2. Anyone else?
Sideloaded on newest Kindle Fire HD and doesn't work either.
WTF NINTENDO?
@SladeStrife No worries we all want to try it out!
@freaksloan is your iPad Mini jailbroken?
I am loving the sleek design and easy navigation through it. Very well set up! I just don't have much friends around here that play Nintendo, most of my friends list consists of people scattered in other states. I hope they make it so you can add people by some sort of code instead of Facebook and twitter
Working on my droid turbo 2..... Already ran out of stuff to do until I can convince my friends to download it.
I hope the North gets something for downloading it aswell once we get it, missed out on the pre-registration is pretty sad. Was a sad day when they shut down Club Nintendo years ago, and now we aren't even invited to the big relaunch. Why do you hate us so much Nintendo.
Reads title. Immediately grabs smartphone, installs it, puts away smartphone without having played even a second. I really don't want to go through all these connecting to my Nintendo Account right now.
Welp Miitomo was crashing a lot on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Ace 2) so the only friend related mission I completed was the Friend to Friend adding.
West aka UK or something? Can't find it on my google play.
Yo my NA is JMan93. My miis nickname is Jess. And my FB is Jesse Laythe.
Download begins
Basically a social media network for children...not for me
G'ah can't use it. Gets to a large download phase, loading reaches 100% and then... nothing. Just cycles through some "Miitomo Tips" before it realises its not working and the not responding dialogue pops up.
Nice I have been waiting for this for quite some time so you can bet I will be giving this one a whirl.
UK version stop as soon as you open it. Says "unfortunately Miitomo has stopped working". Compatible android phone too. Maybe its too busy
Finally after trying all four of my devices with no luck.
It works on my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
@Kuhang No my Ipad Mini 2 is not jail broken.
@keresmatic That took me forever to figure out too, and no, there doesn't appear to be a way to add non local friends, or non Facebook or twitter friends either.
Well working fine for me, and have exhausted it for coins now. Need to get some friends, or it's going to lose it's charm quickly.
Ok to anyone having the crash issue on a Jailbroken iPhone, I can confirm that this issue is caused due to the state of your Device. So apparently Nintendo doesn't want their app to run on any jailbroken devices. So THIS IS HOW YOU FIX the crashes on a jailbroken iPhone. Go to Cydia and add the insanelyi repo if you haven't already. Search for a mod called Xcon and install it. What this basically does is bypass the security check that an app does to know if you are jailbroken. You're ready to go. I've checked it myself and works.
@DWWM Same here. My phone is a Galaxy S6.
Locked on the store and on the Mii drop game.
@dkxcalibur GS6 here as well, but it's working flawlessly for me. Are you on Lollipop still? Maybe that plays a role, as I'm on 6.0 Marshmallow.
I had some problems with it freezing a couple of times on my Galaxy Note 3 but I am gonna upgrade soon so hopefully it won't be a problem on what ever I get next. Linked to My Nintendo so shouldn't be a problem when I reinstall it on my next phone.
I have one problem however... I HAVE NO FRIENDS Well, I have perhaps 1 friend. lol
You know guys we should start a forum here for us to friend each other on Miitomo. It would be fun and allow us to get to get the benifiets from Miitomo
Anyone worked out a way we could all add one another through Nintendo Life?
@MarioPhD We could use Facebook, or Twitter.
@Nintendult What and What? Sorry but Miitomo is gonna single handily destroy those sites, in its first week
why does it take up so much space?! it's like 538 mbs?!
rawrr!

Miitomo will not work on a rooted Android phone. A workaround that you can do is that if you have xposed, you can install the "Root Cloak" module (make sure you whitelist Miitomo) then download Miitomo security bypasser (http://bit.ly/21F3vZD), then it should work
It's working on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5, but of course I'm at work. Thankfully it's a short day.
Works well on my iPhone 6S in the UK. Though I don't have any friends to add! I seem to have received a Mario hat for some reason but I can't figure out how to put it on my Mii....
I can't seem to find the answer to this question: when using my Nintendo ID Mii on Miitomo does the changes on the style (hair, eyes, etc) got synched between the consoles and the app?
I live in Cameroon and i am a rooted android user, i used SUPERVPN app to connect to French internet region, The Exposed module framework : RootCloak to hide my rooted status to the app and miitomoSecuritybypass.apk .
Averything work i am downloading the data right now, but dman nintendo! what's the point? we are in 2016 for god sake! region limitted app is just absurd not mentionning measure against rooted user!
Can't find it from Google play.
Only friends I have is my two kids.
I had no problems setting up on an iphone 5. It seems like you can only add friends face-to-face, through facebook or twitter? I don't really want to have to add everyone that I chat to about Nintendo on facebook / twitter before I add them on miitomo.
Not for Windows Phone. Sigh.
not in my country. f*** nintendo (or whatever release it)
@MarioPhD Now that you mentioned it, I'm currently a version behind you with my S6 (AT&T).
I can only do a bluestacks version and it doesn't work :/

@Arngrim
We´re on the same boat pal. Nintendo will notice us someday.
I can't get the game.....is this game region locked?
@Socar
I can't get it either so I guess it is.
Wahoo~
Unrooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 and now Miitomo WORKS!
So freaking stupid Nintendo!
@Luffymcduck I never thought that mobile localization would be that hard considering how its not that expensive to make games on there.
Sweden still do not have it, even though it was supposed to be released together with My Nintendo here.
@Aoi14 Was it though? Haven't seen anything mentioned about it beeing available at the same time, heck i didn't even know we would get My Nintendo today either, which was a pleasent surprise in another day of mostly disapointed Nintendo news.
Unfortunately it freezes on me when I try and link to Twitter on my iPhone 6S running iOS 9.3
I keep getting an error message while trying to sign in with my Nintendo Network account. Anyone else with an iphone 5s having this problem?
It's nice, for a few minutes or so... and then it's just a bit...bleh...
I feel forced to like and comment on everything just because the recipient and I gain coins and points for doing so.
It's definitely a nice visual experience though, but just a bit random.
Does anyone know how to allow your Mii (linked from your Nintendo Account) to be used by Miitomo? I'm on the "Make a Mii!" page but it says that "Copying of this Mii has not been allowed by the creator"
First thing I saw when I opened the App Store (top banner and best new apps). I'll download it now so I can try it later on my break.
"This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Incompatible with:
NVIDIA Shield TV
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Marshall London
@TheRaginSteak
My phone is rooted. I guess that's why it doesn't work...
Typical Nintendo to be so controlling, even in the smartphone space!
@TheRaginSteak
Thanks for this.
How do I get Xposed modules?
@DWWM @freaksloan @TheRaginSteak
No problem, you can still use Miitomo with a rooted phone. No need to unroot it.
Just follow the instructions here.
Also, don't forget to activate Rootcloak and the Miitomo Security Bypasser in Xposed. If you just installed Xposed, you also have to install the framework first. All of this can be done in the Xposed app. And you need several reboots. But in the end, it's worth it, Miitomo works!
Can't link my NNID to either My Nintendo or Miitomo. It keeps saying that "the NNID or password is not correct". I can log in to My Nintendo on my Wii U alright though. Anybody have any help?
@Kuhang I'm having this same issue but my phone isn't jailbroken
@Arngrim Seems like the article I read earlier was taken down... must have been fake sigh And I really looked forward to playing the game with my friends...
Strangely it started working for me. All installed and I'm now fumbling through.
@Judgedean you have to edit your mii on your console (wii, wii u or 3ds) Through the mii maker and allow sharing the mii or something like that.
It won't work on my Boost mobile phone (Prevail). Android ver. 4.4.4. - my phone is not rooted.
Does Nintendo have a compatible phone list somewhere?
EDIT: Got it to work now. Works flawlessly on my phone.
It also does not work on my android tablet.
Any other options that don't involve me having to go through the hassle of buying a new phone?
EDIT- UPDATE: It now works on my tablet!
Woohoo!
WOHOOO!
It won't let me create a Mii from my Nintendo ID, even though copying IS enabled. So I am stuck on the Mii creation page with no "Back" option and no "Help" option.
My only option is to create one from scratch or use a QR Code (and I am not going to do either).
Yep, sure enough it doesn't work on my rooted phone. I'm not sure what I was expecting, Nintendo are scared of their own shadow at the moment.
Currently stuck on Mii creation. I've only played the Tomodachi Life demo, so no QR codes (does the Move-In version allow this?), and my Mii had been set to no-copying, so outta luck there. Shoulda just made a QR from said Mii, but too late, so unless its copy status updates before then, I've got some six hours before I'm back home at my systems. Le sigh.
@DWWM
Nintendo blocks (by making the app crash on boot) users that have rooted their Android phone... Way to go nintendo... penalizing a lot of customers...
@Aurumonado i am in canada too and was able to download no problems...
@Aoi14 Thanks for replying. Done all that and still no joy. I bit stupid by Nintendo if I can't use my Wii U Mii. I'll email Nintendo tomorrow if it's still the same.
And so Nintendo has lost another fan because they decided to not allow rooted android users to use the app. Good job.
Does your Miitomo data sync across all devices?
And it refuses to link to my My Nintendo account. Just keep getting a "DNS hookup failed" message.
I can't link my mii even though ive changed the settings
not sure where saved qr codes go.. they aren't on the SD card :S
@wiggleronacid which phone are you using?
Just got this working on my Device, it's a bit slow, but worth it just for the coins. I've wanted to play Wario Ware: Touched for years now.
Miitomo isn't that great of an app. Nintendo could have done better
@Kuhang I'm using an iPhone 6. I backed up my data on iCloud and restored my device. I have no idea what the issue was, but Miitomo is working now!
@wiggleronacid Maybe you should've just reinstalled the app, but glad it's working for you now
Got the apk from Android Police's apkmirror.com, but really sucks regarding to the regional blocking. Hopefully Nintendo opens this soon so it doesn't become another eternal regionally available thing for just some people.
For root users i don't think the app will allow us to play,crash always crash ugh.... I'm sorry nintendo this is weird one
I did try reinstalling, but I coincidentally had to restore my iPhone soon anyway due to a storage issue. Everything is all good now!
I just wish there was an option to turn off animations to both speed up the lag and decrease the battery drain. It kills my battery like no app i know
@SladeStrife how did you get it to work? I have the exact same phone and I'm in the same situation. I really want to play it.
@GC-161 how did you get it to work??
use the chrome browser on your phone and search for the 1.1.0 miitomo apk file and download it
@BornInNorway81 That app isn't out yet, so...no.
