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

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 Tagwriter as well. I use the tags to set up routines.

Some time ago I received a ring with an embedded NTAG 213 Type 2. It's been a couple years now. But this ring has been through hell and back. Picked up the ring and tapped it with this app running. Could be do to its age or lack of use for awhile 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.
