Simple and clean app that handles all of my NFC needs! The PRO is definitely worth the few dollars
Reviews for NFC Tools - Pro Edition
← Back to NFC Tools - Pro EditionMy number one NFC app on all my NFC supporting devices!! Good! Keep up the good work, we need the app!!
I got the pro version. I'm very with it. I wish it was possible to run NFC tag emulation with profiles, or with Tasker, so I could tap a shortcut icon to enable it, to share my VCard for a 30-60 second window of time. So ya... feature request: let Tasker have access to the NFC tag emulation, with emulation profiles, or let Tasker fill in the emulation tag data.
great little app for reading and writing to tags. I nearly never have problems reading and I love all the functions available.
Just installed, played for a few minutes - absolutely fantastic app. Very intuitive, easy to use, exactly what's needed to setup and manage NFC tags and profiles. Excellent!
I use this in combination with Tasker to automate sooo many things on my phone. I made the kids little nfc badges to "swipe" if they want to use my phone which switches it to a timed kids profile. When I take my meds, I tap a tag I glued to the lid and it adds a time stamp to a Google sheet. So many uses.
great... haven't had any issues. I've been able to write, and even erase worth no issues. works well well canva, docs, and all curls I've used.
works great. does what it says it will do. it's a bit annoying to figure out all the quirks and stuff and to deal with the inherent limitations of all phones being heavily restricted by apple or Google but that's not the app's fault.
The free version is great, spent $4 to support dev, even though the free version did everything I needed. It's a great tool, very user friendly, and it works really well!
It is not really worth getting this instead of the original app. but what makes this not a 0 star review is that this app can emulate the nfc chips and simulate the tasks. and it has some neat functions for geeks like root apps. but if you just got an nfc tag start off with the normal app and when you are one week in then get the pro version. And the devs are EPIC.
I'm no tech a genius but I think I can work ok with intuitive apps. I've tried to set up tasks without any success. I came on to play expecting to find a cool off refund option but no such luck. so if you expect intuitive flow or even tips to aid your learning curve then avoid this app!
nice app with very limited ability to actually write anything but 6 basic contact card fields... pretty useless in that area. edit text record is one line tall window... really, folks, didn't anyone ever take a user interface programming course? for all the great learning and testing this app provides, it coul d be so much more user-friendly,
I have good experience using NFC tools, but it has a problem: it's so complicated and very hard to use for a new user. But now I've learned something, and I just want to say: make it a little bit easier for Android, like an iPhone NFC tools app in apple operating system (iOS).
App works well. You could do about anything you need to do with the free version but it's nice to buy pro and support the devs. If you just wanted to play around with NFC's a little though keep that in mind and try free first. Wish they would work on the mimic NFC that is currently in beta. That would be pretty cool. And wish they would make some type of log that was easy or make the profiles easier to stack up. have 100 tags I want to log, as of now to do so have to make a profile for each.
I love messing around with NFC tags and this app made it very easy for me. I don't recall if the Wake on Lan was available in the free version or not, but thats my favorite command so far. I'm able to turn on my computer from any of the Tags I write the command on and I think it's super cool. I'll never hit the power button to turn it on again!
I was able to save info to my ring (ty you tube guy) that I got off wish. It took a minute to find the sweet spot on my phone (s10+ is a little up from bottom right). The interface is a lot easier to figure out than the one recommended in the paper that came with it, and asks for way less permission on my phone. Only suggestion I have is to make medical thing take a little less data off the top. I couldn't even fill out the fields at a minimum of call 5 letter hospital and have it go under 200.
I am absolutely loving this!!! The pro version is totally worth the money. I just discovered NFC tags are a thing a few days ago, and that my phone can use them. I'm a beginner hobbyist programmer, and with this app it's so simple to write nfc tags, that I could do it even without any programming skills. There is even an option to test the task before you write it to the tag!
If you are new to NFC, there is a slight learning curve. However, this developer has done a really good job with all of their apps I have used. I am adding NFC to my smart home, I use some tags to just send POST requests thats control certain devices/automations. Once you get into the app and get familiar, it is pretty easy to do pretty much anything. If you cant do it directly through the app (due to google restrictions, not the app itself) you can easily integrate with other apps.
I mainly got this to use my phone as an amiibo, but it didn't work. It unfortunately never worked. Sometimes, it just says it's unreadable. when it does scan it straight up, it doesn't let you save on your phone. The app advertised using your phone instead of other chips, but it doesn't seem to work that way. It simply lets you have people get your number by tapping your phone.
this is the first time I have had this issue and I do not know why it started doing it. I have to wear a continuous glucose monitor and when I was trying to start a new sensor, which starts by scanning it using NFC, I kept getting an error. The error message showed the NFC Tools icon. I had to uninstall the app, then was able to start the sensor. Usually NFC Tools would not try to scan it. The app could use a way to pause it, otherwise I will have to uninstall it every time.
