I put a neutral rating because I believe most of my difficulty with the app is user error or a problem with my nfc device. I've watched the how to videos, but I just can't get my smart ring to connect. I took off the phone case, tried moving the device slowly to every location on the phone back, rotated the device, restarted the app, etc. No luck. I'm just not sure what. When I figure it out, I will update this review and give the "real" rating. Wish me luck.

Great first experience! I had some stickers I had never used and I wanted to program them. it was really easy with this app to program a URL into one of them and even put a password protection on it instead of locking it forever. Interface was easy to use for someone that didn't read any instructions.

Only needs the NFC permission, which is a big plus compared to other NFC readers. Thank you for that 👌 My only complaint WAS that after reading an NFC tag, I couldn't find a way to read another one, however, dev responded & they're right. It's always probing for a new NFC signal even when the "Read" section has a previous scan result. This let me confirm that my PayPal card does actually have a tap-to-pay NFC feature - it's just extraordinarily weak compared to Discover or Capital One cards.

I love this app so much. So I recently discovered that keycards use nfc and also that my phone has an NFC chip. I had some keycards laying around, and I tried it. I don't have a real reason to use this but its so fun to just play around with. This app is so beautiful that anyone should use it. There are no ads and options beyond my need. Perfect.

While I am not that tech savvy, I found the instructions clear, and the app intuitive. Furthermore, the developer responded quickly and professionally to a question, indicative of my "beginner" level of NFC. They even took the time to offer some suggestions. Thank you.

This app - allong with my rings, and NFC Tasks, has made so many things so much easier,faster, less stressful. With banking info, computer access, phone pins, house keys, and things I wont mention kept on different pieces of jewelry, I can breaze through most of life with an inconspicuos wave of the hand. It's simple, straight forward and easy to use. Just wish "Tools" and "Tasks" were combined.

Great for medical alert! My son has a complex medical history, it was costing me a fortune in custom medical alert cards every time his medication changed. I decided to buy some NFC tags from amazon and write them with this app. I was pleasantly surprised to find the app already had a medical alert template that you can just fill. Now if his medication changes I can just change it on the app and re-write the tag.

So far, it's great! Straight forward. Easy to use. No pop up ads to get in the way and making the app nearly impossible to use, like others that I've tried. Contemplating buying the Pro version to unlock even more features.

Absolutely awesome! I saw an advert on instagram for business cards that provide an NFC contact, but I thought rather than waste my money I'd try overwriting an old gym pass. Now, I've got a card that - in one tap - relays my phone, email, website, instagram, linkedin and github all at once... and doesn't need a battery to power it! Works like a charm! Edit: I've experimented with cross compatibility, and it seems my card won't work with iPhones. Is this addressable on a software level?

Brilliant app, and most functions and tasks actually work pretty well. Oh, and it's fairly simple to use if you're patient enough. Bluetooth doesn't always come on, but it's forgivable. Suggestion though: How about a task where one can use the NFC Tag to Unlock the phone? I reckon that would be brilliant. Assuming that is there isn't one already...

The app does read/write/format etc... my smart ring but the free version no longer supports any file operations aside from linking, gotta go pro to copy/move files to/from a tag. A trial run of limited file size or quantity would have been great and earned this app five stars from me.

Effortless task automation. I used to use If This Then That to turn off WiFi on my phone when leaving home and back on again when returning, but there was too much of a delay. With this app, and some inexpensive NFC stickers, I just tap when leaving, and tap when returning, and the app does what I want. I've added some more tasks as well. Turn up the volume, and even launch Google Maps to direct me to the office--but only on weekdays in the morning. Yes it allows conditions as well! Very impressive. I'd pay money for this.

Works perfectly. I only got it to scan a Moncler item, worked first time - but I've since bought some rewritable ones myself (£3 for 10) and had great fun messing around with them at work. For a free app it's exceptional, very easy to use and understand, no ads annoying you every 10 seconds. I still don't understand half of the things, but I don't need to, that's for the more techy folk to fiddle with and code.

I love this app for reading and writing NFC tags. This app is very easy to use. So far the free version has done everything I needed, but I am considering paying for the pro version just to support the developer. I use this in my dog rescue. we have a catalog display with many of our senior dogs or other dogs that can't make it to events. Instead of having to tell people to manually enter a dog's web address in their phone's web browser, they just have to tap on an NFC tag.

App works really well for writing tags, I wish it could toggle things like mobile data, but I did some research and found that Android has patched any app's ability to do that, which is way a root is now required for that type of function. The interface takes a bit of poking around in order to learn where the different pieces are categorized, but it's a great tool for creating NFC tags!

Amazing app! I was looking at several other apps to copy nfc tags, but all of them said it was a horrible UI and adds everywhere. There isn't a single add on this app, and the UI is simplistic, which is good for a beginner like me. I just needed to copy one nfc tag, but this app actually sparked an interest in nfc for me, and I am heavily considering getting the pro version, just for the extra features. Great app! 10/10

It's very useful and functional for those very familiar with technology, however many of the functions are behind a paywall. Also it can work in conjunction with a second app Tasker but that also costs too much money. Both combined are $6 and that's a bit much for NFC chip functions. Overall this app lives up to it's description; It's very useful for someone looking to make their life easier with the (advanced) use of technology.

My experience with this app was pretty streamlined. I wish I didn't need two apps to choose a file, but otherwise, very straightforward. This isn't the app's fault, but something to keep in mind: IF YOU ARE TRYING TO EMULATE AN AMIIBO, DO NOT BOTHER!! Amiibo cards are protected by a private key, so you are better off using this app to write a .bin file onto an NFC tag rather than taking the shortcut, it won't work otherwise. Sucks I know, but Nintendo gotta Nintendo!

This app is great! It's UI looks great, it's easy to use, and is compatible with the random NFC stickers that were all over Amazon. There are tons of things you can do with this (you don't need to know any code), and the Pro version is even better! The developer is super nice and responded to my emails with questions. It enables the bridge between the digital and physical worlds effortlessly. Sometimes you just need a button instead of pushing a thousand things do just one task.

I really like this application for many reasons, but the biggest ones are that it's flexible, accurate, simple, intuitive, AND you don't have to tap the tag to make it work. I use it alot for potted seeds, and many of the apps that require a tap end up knocking dirt in my lap. I hate that... Thanks for such a fine, dependable, smart (not stupid) app! Why would anyone write an app that makes you physically hit the tag?
