Great NFC card data visualizer and decoder. Easy to use.
Works perfectly and would get 5 of 5 if it was updated to newer SDK for android
great app is there a way to see all the command sent ?
Good app to use on my phone
I have the same problem as +Merijn Bellekom ... When I try to uninstall this app it automatically reboots the phone so I can't get rid of it.... edit: after it rebooted my phone I didn'T run it and uninstalled it right away and it works. changed my rating from 1 start to 2, once this bug is squashed I will rate it appropriately :3
This was my favorite NFC curiosity-satisfying app: always was neat to look "inside" an NFC/RFID tag. Worked great on my Moto X 2013 with 5.1 (latest official), but crashes on every tag read attempt on the same model phone running Marshmallow (lineage os 13). That's why I had to give it a lower review. If I hadn't upgraded this phone I'd say 5 stars for features and no ads.
From the permissions list: PREVENT DEVICE FROM SLEEPING Allows the app to prevent the device from going to sleep.
This didn't play well with another NFC app so I decided to uninstall it. Half an hour later and I am still trying to uninstall it. Seems to be a common problem.
It only works if you are online. Why you can't scan an item when offline, makes you wonder what info is being sent back to developers. Very suspicious, poss security risk and going to uninstall it.
This is definitely the best of breed app for tag reading and being an NFC veteran for over a decade, the statement says a lot.
Reads and displays tag info like a charm. Test deleted and it really did delete. I reinstalled it and it's now a keeper.
App is responsive to all functions EXCEPT its primary one, to initiate a scan. Upon trying to uninstall, phone crashes and reboots.
This app read my NFC tag even when other readers didn't work.
Please get rid of the Eclair buttons. This app needs a small facelift. Also display that the tag has encrypted content without the need to go to a submenu. It should be on the main screen.
Shows pretty much all the information on any NFC card. I was able to read HEX codes off of a NFC subway pass. Big props for being a truly free app with no ads or paid features.
Almost like my nfc is broken, but works just fine with other apps.
Didn't work now ever time I try to uninstall reboots phone and stays on!
It restarts your phone when you want to uninstall it.
Thank god. I had washed my opal card (mifare classic 1k) and thought i totalled it. (Uninstalled this due to using nfc pro tools) but instead, i installed again, tapped my card and was pleased to see it wasn't destroyed. Thanks dudes!
Ok, I did not remember changing phone since last time. Apparently, the Nexus 5 have no hw-support for mifare classic. (What happend? It used to work, but now it just say that my device don't support mifare classic. (Nexus 5))
The only reliable app to inspect tags. We use it a lot, to understand why some tags we have work, and others don't. This app is the yardstick: if it can read it, you can use the tag with Android. If not.. use another tag!
good nfc tag reader, there are also other apps made by NXP that can read and write nfc tags
