Zelda Notes is a must for Zelda players; it makes collecting fun and has dialogue regarding places in the game. It also allows item transfers between games and even shipping botw items to totk. The supported games are limited, but that isn't bad. An app shouldn't be for every single title ever, though I saw a poor review for exactly that. I recommend downloading the app and seeing if it is applicable to you; if it isnt, simply unload it for now. Check later.

The app is absolutely fantastic now with the new zelda update. Two things that I would like to see in the future, though, are more voice memories with different characters for the breath of the wild. I mean It would be absolutely amazing if there were some voice memories for the champions or King roahm or maybe impa. Second, I would like to see more games become compatible in some way with the app.

I've edited my review as the app now has much more features for more games. It also is more stable and is overall a wonderful improvement... in particular with the addition of the Zelda games. It has never crashed and is fast and responsive. It connected to my Nintendo account and in turn to my switch 2 with no issues. 👏

I'm playing TotK and have been listening to the voice memories. I didn't think there were any voice memories in the depths because nothing was showing up. Well, I came across a voice memory of Kohga and learned that there are supposed to be voice notes for Kohga. They're not showing up and I can't find anything about a fix. Other than that, it's a pretty neat app.

This app is useful for tracking your stats in some games, and even lets you remotely do some things, even when you're not playing. If you care about your performance in, say, Splatoon, you can use the app to track which weapons you excel with, and the ones you'll need more practice with. Voice chat is obsolete, as other apps with voice chat exist. Overall, solid choice for those that want more out of their NSO membership! Would definitely recommend to friends and content creators!

Ima throw an idea into your Dev think tank. An app that is just like this but isnt this. An app where you can view your switch online marketplace on the go, purchase games, look at the games, watch trailers, browse, and, be able to message friends, add/remove friends, see their status. And better yet it's an app that can be used and updated with all future consoles!
