Some time ago I received a ring with an embedded NTAG 213 Type 2. It's been a couple of years now. But this ring has been through hell and back. Picked up the ring and tapped it with this app running. Could be due to It's age or lack of use for a while it seemed not to read. However after a few epic battles of "find the sweet spot" it worked great. Utilizing this software she was laid bare for me to enjoy. Great software, easy to use, flows so nice, and jamed packed with features.

A must-have on every NFC enabled phone! Lets you read pretty much every type of tag. NXP is on the cutting edge of near field communication, and their app most definitely reflects that. It's best when used in conjunction with the NXP Tag writer as well. I use the tags to set up routines.

To all the people reading the one-star reviews, be warned they seem to be a *one time* thing, or an issue on the user's end as phone a Samsung Galaxy A50 runs this just fine with no errors or issues whatsoever this works as if it where at CES being a perfect demo app, no issues never fails to save always works, I see no issues here.

Full read can't read memory contents, card-phone connection constantly interrupted. Other apps have no issues at all. Developer response was as simple as "Dear valued customer, just buy a new phone". If your app can work reliably only on most up-to-date os version, you shouldn't roll it out for all versions

Saving XML export is impossible and sending files to email doesn't work at all. When you click save scan it sometimes says it saved other times just spams an error message until you force quit the app. When you share to email it will open the email app and insert the title of the email, but it fails to attach any files. It is impossible to find the XML files in your phones file browser probably because they are stored where you cannot view them, and they give you no option to change save directory.
★★☆☆☆Kazutaka Muraki· Oct 8, 2020
After latest update this app can no longer show ic name for some tags with SLI (SLI, SLIX, SLIX2) chips. Quick scan shows error saying something like "your IC is damaged, unable to scan it" (no problems with other apps). Some Infineon Mifare 1K chips are also shown as "Unknown IC". Otherwise, Lots of tags supported, very detailed information provided for all of them!
