Ratings and reviews

For me works like a charm! I use only 10% of the app's capablilities - for UID quick reading of many rfid cards. I love it shows the number in four most common formats (dec, dec rev, hex , hex rev) without too much of other detailed info. I'd like to see an update, as the app is a bit unstable and crashes sometimes on my phone... maybe because of those naggy ads?

History of tags read is useful. Not sure if the reversed hex is understandable since I would have to verify on my card reader to see if it is the number I need to input for usage. Probably allow an option to get rid of the apps with a one time purchase of extra features.

Outputs a bunch of abbreviated field names and hex values contained in. Compared to NFC Tools from wakdev on Google play who also provides that app for Linux/Win/Mac this application is poor and provides not very readable output. The other app has nicely described fields, is more appealing and has no Ads! Be sure to delete the History of the cards stored by this NFC Reader before uninstalling. Tested on Samsung A8 with Android 9.0.
