PowerNFC — NFC Reader, Writer, Passport & Transit Toolkit
PowerNFC turns your iPhone into a private NFC toolkit. Read and write NFC tags, inspect raw tag data, scan electronic passports and supported travel documents, check supported transit card balances and ride history, and keep your NFC activity organized in one polished iOS app.
