NFC TagWriter by NXP
NOTE: Installing TagWriter on a non-NFC enabled phone is enabled now but it does of course not allow you to actually program tags. Anyhow, you can now prepare NFC data sets e.g. on a large screen device and then share them with an NFC enabled handset to actually make use of them. Besides that you can catch a pre-view on what you could do with a handset supporting NFC.Please contact us at [email protected] if you have problems. We will continue our efforts to add new features for your benefits and we work hard to provide a feature rich application ahead of other apps available in the market.Advanced Features: http://inspire.nxp.com/tagwriter/tag-writer-user-manual.pdfMain Features:

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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
While NXP tag info app (tag reader) does repeatedly read my credit card info including details in full scan this tag writer claims the card would be empty! I use a Samsung Notes 8
Passwords are incorrectly implemented: When removing a password, the app leaves NTAG21x tags in an essentially incorrect state (AUTH0 set to a value < FF) which makes the tag subsequently impossible to format.
I give 1 star because I use this app format my tag and it became read-only access! Only this app can rewrite and have to format again every time you want to change it! Better bloody unlock my tag! I will leave this 1 star until you fix it!
brilliant app, very user friendly and good UI design. helped me to reprogram my tags in a few seconds. 11/10
Didn't keep tag from becoming write locked. In fact it broke the NFC card and it won't format it.
Great NFC tag writer. No apps need to be installed to read the tag written with this TagWriter. I love it. Works great on Android 11 too.
Very cool, I reprogrammed a old hotel room key. And it worked!
Hey, can we make any connection with server or any backend activity? I mean if I scan a tag to read.. will it search that particular id in the server and return back the exact stored information if there is a matching id. Moreover, I want to write tag based on the retrieved data?
simple interface that works
Didn't read any of the 3 nfc cards presented, pretty useless
right so I ordered a smart ring, and told my to use this app. But this is not related to it whatsoever.
Cannot read all app... please improve
It was easy to use but sometimes didn't notice my finger
Will not write, so copy and format are broken.
Don't use this app, instead use the "NFC tools" app by WakDev.
Complete garbage. Datasheets are the pure pain.
Crashes. Nothing works
Can't write custom urls
Any plans to support writing NTAG424 soon?
Works as expected
Still can't write or erase/format nxp's icode tags. Other apps are doing that without any problems.
Doesn't seem to recognise its own tags (I.e., when written from the app). There's so many different NFC apps and they all complain about different things with the same cards/tags. It's hard to actually do it 'right' because none of you seem to be consistent. I imagine it's the hardware, but wow I figured NFC was much more mature than it actually is. Would rate a little higher since it can read, but as an Android Dev, I'm also offended by the UI 😪
I liked this app verymuch, it is great for single tag writing, but when it comes to multiple tags with auto counter it wont work. Like when i am use %ctr1% in my URL type record its replaced with %25ctr1%25 and not using auto count as its should, at least this is what i saw in Preferences. Can you confirm this issue? or i just using it wrong?
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.
