This version works well for my UK & Italian passport This version works like a charm with my UK and Italian passport! Remember to turn off the autostart feature or the application will kick in every time it detects a NFC / RFID tag.

Good nfc tag reader, there are other apps made by NXP that can read and write nfc tags

It works pretty well The app can read all Albanian passport info, but it can't get the ID card data

NFC Tag Info Very aggressive at running without being invoked and a bit hard to get rid of. I hope it is finally gone from my phone. Didn't see as much info when using it as I expected.

I can't seem to get this to read my US passport on Android 5.0 (Nexus 6). I get Authentication error. Warning processing: State of non-volatile memory has changed / No information given. The MRTD keys are correct. I was able to get it working with an older phone though, although the NFC is weak.

BE CAREFUL INSTALLING THIS APP: Seems to work well enough as a NFC reader. I found with hidden apps' detector that the program installs another hidden (potential spyware / malware) program along with the NFC reader by the same developer. This is why I'm giving it a low rating. Be careful using this app. The NXP Tag Info app is a better NFC Tag reader in my opinion.

What 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
