Next to the creation and storing of NFC data sets the NFC TagWriter by NXP also allows to automatically launching applications based on the data read from NFC-enabled tags and items containing NFC-enabled electronics.
The following NFC data sets are supported to launch applications:
- Contact (vCard) to import data into the address book (Contacts)
- Bookmarks (URL) to open a given web address
- Plain text to display simple messages directly on the screen
- SMS (SMS URI) to create a new message
- Mail (Mail URI) to create a new mail message
- Telephone number (TEL URI) to start a call
- Bluetooth to pair and connect devices
- WiFi to connect to WiFi Networks
- Geo location to open a given destination- File URI to open a file on the device, including file picker UI
- URI to create any kind of URI, also those not directly supported by the NXP TagWriter
It supports a series of configuration options adapting the application to your own needs and preferences.
The application fully supports the NFC Forum Type 1 Tag, Type 2 Tag, Type 3 Tag as well as Type 4 Tag portfolio. This includes a whole range of NXP and third party NFC-enabled contactless IC products like MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, NTAG 21x, NTAG I2C, ICODE SLI & many others.TagWriter supports any NDEF pre-formatted tags for all NDEF operations but formating to NDEF feature is limited only to NXP Tags.
Please help us to improve and provide “crash report” and/or contact us via [email protected]. This helps us to detect, analyze and provide fix for the ICs that have not been verified to work and so may cause problems or unexpected behavior on use.

No dark mode? I couldn't find a dark mode to not be blinded when using in the dark. I have everything dark by default on my whole system. An app without dark mode is being uninstalled immediately

Attempted to use password to protect my card, instead it locked me out of my card. This app gave me more errors than I've ever seen in an nfc app before. Would not recommend using this app.

Didn't keep tag from becoming write locked. In fact it broke the NFC card and it won't format it.

Works fine, but every time a scan and write a QR code, the nfc goes blank and nothing can read it anymore. Why could that be?

Only works with NXP brand tag chipsets (e.g. NTAG product line); displays "Tag not supported" for NFC-compliant (e.g. ISO15693) tags from competing vendors (e.g. TI), even though the same tag can be read with NFC TagInfo. Uninstalled.

It is probably useful for some people. Does not show any useful information when tag is empty i.e. no tag Id or similar. NXP Taginfo _does_ on the otherhand do this. Why publish two different apps with such different features?

This will work for both Androids and iPhones. It is the NFC cards that are purchased and written on, not the app. Great, free app. Love, love, love it!

It's decent, but there is no documentation for setting up counters using CSV files for NTAG 215 - and when I try to restore a twdb backup, it doesn't include counter information as it should. I'm unable to therefore generate bulk records that include counter information.

This app has it all but just needs that little push to professional app from the app all the guys are using. Very easy done. Just take contents and present it as if it really matters!! Mo-as is YOU need it on YOUR phone. UR looking at other guys phone in lift am this app is there. People are talking bout it all over the workplace! YOU need it.

This app, unlike the others lets you enter the Bluetooth device name, so it shows up when connecting, instead of "connecting to..."

When I began using this app the variable name for the mirrored unique ID was the letter m. This has been replaced by uid thereby making all my previously written interactive web content obsolete. This is amateur night and betrays a lack of understanding of how HTTP works. Simply incredible.

Very handy and comprehensive NFC writer, however the QR scanner (to copy URLs) no longer works. Or at least I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

This app bricked 2 of my cards. First, I thought it was a user error but 2 in a row. The cards can't be read nor edited either. It said donde writing, and the card was unusable afterward.

Has major bugs in the uid and counter mirror with URLs. The offset process is wrong. I have wasted loads of time. It just does not work . Has it been tested? One star till fixed :-( Latest update has not fixed the interaction counter issue.

Used this to write password protected tags (with 4 character password). Now can't write to them any more and can't remove password (asks me to put in 8 characters minimum)! At least tell people that they have to convert their old ASCII passwords to hex values, or give us the option to specify which we want to enter!

Why is there no support for NTAG424 SUN/Mirroring? Can you please add it? There are mirroring options for a few other tags (however, they are not very configurable - don't even allow you to set your encryption key!) This area needs some serious attention.

Works for android, but not iPhone. I made some NFC business cards for an event, and they did not work with any iPhone. I later tried with a different tag writer (NFC tools), and that worked with both phone OSes. The NPX writer works well for all androids I tested on though.

Downloaded this for a totally blind user to try out NFC tags with. It went very well. The interface is simple and works well with talkback. A byte is one character, so for marking food items, you can get as much or as little detail as you want. Also the lack of ads makes this an even better product for a blind user.

A good app but some issues with Business Cards. When editing not all fields (like the phone number) are displayed. More importantly, no blank Business Card is offered. You can only select an existing contact which is not much use if you want to produce a new one with your own details. So four stars.

NXP are the NFC pioneers, so you can be confident that this app is going to enable every possible functionality of your RFID tags. Unfortunately, the developers of this app aren't happy with what Android provides, and so they ask for dozens of permissions with dubious value, all because they don't trust you to know how to run an address book or QR code scanner. Ease of use is leading safety and sanity, in this case, and it is the user who loses.
