About NFC-Reader

With NFC Reader you can read tags, save them for later viewing, share them, save contacts, open URLs and more! Be advised: Reading NFC tags requires iPhone 7, 8, or X.

FAQ:
- Will my iPhone work with NFC? That depends: iPhone 7 and up supports NFC reading and NFC reading only works when NFC tags are NDEF formatted. If you're not sure what that means, you can reach out to our support for more information.
- Are NFC tags RFID tags? No, NFC NDEF tags are not RFID tags - this means your gym cards, debit/credit cards, hotel cards, etc aren't readable by this app.
- Will this app help me pair to my speaker/router/camera/etc? No, this app doesn't support deep integrations into NFC enabled products - this app is intended to read NFC tags and display data within those tags. Some tags contain actionable data like website URLs, text messages, geotags, contact cards, etc.

1.3.0

Lots of fun stuff in this release. I've cleaned up the user interface to better match iOS 14 design philosophies including the addition of dark mode and sliding modals for each gesture dismissal of scenes. I've also added the ability to scan for parse application/vnd.wfa.wsc records so you can scan NFC tags with wifi credentials and connect right from the app. We have also added the concept of themes. Email andrew@baristable.com with new theme suggestions.
