Comments on NFC Reader for Android

★★★★☆ The Real American John Smith · Apr 2, 2026

I got it to work on one credit card. It would not read my license, any other cards, or ID with chips. I also tried it on a regular RFID product security tag. I'm impressed it read what it did, and kind of glad it can't read the other items I tried it on. A nice way to test your card and I'd's, but I know there are more robust scanners out there that could scan everything.

★★★★★ Musky Rat · Oct 26, 2023

A nice simple app to quickly read NFC cards. Displays reverse decimal which is what I need.

★★★★★ David Xian · May 19, 2026

As I frequently work with RFID cards, I often need to quickly get decimal, reverse decimal, hexadecimal, or reverse hexadecimal values, and this app shows all 4 in one place. Saves me a lot of time compared to converting manually. Huge time saver 👍

★☆☆☆☆ Mitch Cook · Feb 11, 2025

The Dec and hex formats are actually reversed and the reversed formats are actually non-reversed

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Readman · Jul 9, 2021

Range is too poor. Unless it almost pushed inside the phone it doesn't scan Other apps can read a tag 30 cm away.
