Comments on NFC TagInfo for Android

★★★★★ Anon User · Apr 17, 2016
Travel Card Thank god. I had washed my opal card (mifare classic 1k) and thought I totaled it. (Uninstalled this due to using nfc pro tools) but instead, I installed again, tapped my card and was pleased to see it wasn't destroyed. Thanks dudes!
★★★★☆ A Google User · May 21, 2015
It works pretty well The app can read all Albanian passport info, but it can't get the ID card data
★★★★☆ A Google User · Aug 28, 2015
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.
★★☆☆☆ Jim Von Ehr · Apr 4, 2016
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.
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Feb 26, 2015
App works as desired (maybe) but I've spent 20 min trying to remove it. Absolutely useless, finally I got rid of of it from play market! Press uninstall when app page is opened. All other ways will reboot your device.
★★☆☆☆ Maxie Schmidt · Jan 26, 2018
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.
★★☆☆☆ Chris Awad · May 5, 2016
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.
