Comments on NFC ReTag for Android

★★★★☆ mark sissons · Nov 9, 2019
I collect unused tags and keep them everywhere. Switch off Wi-Fi a turn on data when I get in my car. Tap a tag in the office and reverse. Keep one by the bed to set alarm. Great app.
★★★★★ Petrus Lombard · Dec 10, 2023
This is good if you don't have nfc tags but still have RFID or write protected cards but still want the nfc experience
★★★★☆ Silver Argentum · Apr 12, 2022
So far, love the app and functions great! Would love to see a "close/kill app" option too, that way I can launch something, tell it to wait a certain amount of time, then close it. For example: set volume to 100% -> launch pandora -> wait 20 min -> close pandora -> set volume to 50%...
★☆☆☆☆ Ricardo Fortunato · Jul 15, 2019
Hate forcef adds, especially on apps with free on it. As a plus, the real noise adds appear.

Description by WidgApp Mobile Solutions Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Re-use/ recycle write protected NFC Tags such as hotel key-cards, access badges, price tags, lift cards, key fobs etc...
You can use this app to associate multiple functions (e.g. Wlan OFF, Bluetooth ON, Mobile Data TOGGLE, start navigation,run Tasker task, start any installed app, use media buttons, call a phone number, add a timestamp, calendar entry, add Text-to-Speech and much more!) to a NFC (near field communication) tag via an app internal database. You can even add tag cycles and let your tag run different activities per scan. So ReTag is the perfect NFC automation tool for you ;-).

(Works with ANY android supported tag = re-writable AND write protected!)

With NFC ReTag you don´t have to write anything on the tag (-> uses the tag ID, great for small tagsizes and write-protected tags!) and NO data is send to the internet. Additional write options (for better dispatching, device independent tags etc.) are also available. Import of activity tags and beaming is also supportet.

*!* NFC enabled device required / NO root required *!*

Support forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138

If you have any issues, please do not hesitate to write us an e-mail.

You could combine any activities/ actions and add as many activities and cycles as you want per tag. (obviously except for writing activity tags -> depends on tagsize). For best performance and dispatching, write a special NFC ReTag tag (this is NOT an activity tag!).

Full description and changelog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138

An ad supported free version (with limited number of tags) and an unlimited ad-free (PRO) version is available. Please check if this app works on your phone via the FREE version before downloading the PRO version.

Supports any standard android NFC tags (NFC Forum Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4 etc.).

Hints:
Issues with TASKER: Install Tasker BEFORE NFC ReTAG, enable Misc / Allow External Access in Tasker UI, enable Tasker (on/off button), try the Tasker fallback option within NFC ReTag settings!

Some security related NFC Tags (e.g. in passports) change their ID on every read attempt. This app will not work with such tags.
