The only reason it not five stars is because I not been using it enough to see how it last after complete monthBut it was easy to set up. Quick to write the function Still need to find all functions and how they work. Ie lock means what. Dev response is very good to question and issues.
Please try if your iPhone can't read tags normally

I thought that my iPhone XS had a problem since it wouldn't read NFC tags on the home screen but thanks to this app I found out that it probably has something to do with the settings I use. Terrific app.
Not simple to write nfc’s.

Compare to other similar apps I have used this one is not very user-friendly. I really want to like it but I’m struggling with the most simple of tasks, writing to my NFC. When you go to the help file it’s simply send you a link to buy NFC is from associates.Other than that lots of functionality (if you can get them to work). It may be me doing something wrong. If so I’m more than happy to change my review.Thanks

Couldn’t actually get it to do what I wanted it to do. Honestly I don’t think I know enough about it to fully understand what I’m doing wrong. But, as an app, this is beautifully designed😂😍
