TapNSet

Genesis Mobile Apps

About this app

The ZMF TapNSet™ chess clock can be programmed with this app available for Android®. The app can be downloaded for free from the Play Store. Just enter the time settings that you want to use and tap the cellphone against the clock between the two LED indicators.


Note that the time setting must be a valid one for the clock to receive it. For example, a time setting of 10 minutes for one player and zero minutes for the other won’t be accepted by the clock.


When programming the ZMF TapNSet™ clock with a cellphone, the phone will vibrate and the clock’s LED indicators will momentarily blink to indicate that the operation was successful. The location of the NFC antenna in a cellphone can vary depending on model. The best way to find out where the antenna is located is to try tapping the cellphone against the clock using the bottom, middle, or top part of the phone until it connects.

Ratings and reviews

(UPDATE installed 7/16/23 app update, looks like this issue has been fixed; adding another star) App doesn’t have a preset for 40/80, SD/30, d30 (one of most common USCF tournament time controls). Tried to create this myself & save in Favorites, but programming the clock using this Favorite doesn't work. App says "programming successful," but clock settings don’t change. I can program the clock with the presets, so NFC is working, just not with a custom Favorite.

I received info from the vendor. I have the new version and it appears to be working, but I will do some testing in the morning. Thanks for helping! I received the new version and it doesn't work on the Galaxy Flip 4 z. Receive a message, please make sure your device supports NFC technology. It worked prior to the version being updated. Please help

Sad app, developer needs to fix the NFC problem. I have a Pixel 6 Pro and it's showing that there's an NFC problem and no other info to troubleshoot. I spent an hour trying to fix my phone's settings only to realize after successfully reading the NFC tag in the clock that it is the app that is failing. Now I have a $60 clock that has only 3 time controls set on it until I can figure out how to program the NFC tag using a third party NFC utility.
