Description

NFC Tools can read and write your NFC tags with a simple and lightweight user interface.
By passing your device near an NFC chip, you can read the data it contains and interact with the content.
The "Read" section allows you to see data such as:
- the maker of the tag
- the type of tag (ex : Mifare Ultralight, NTAG213)
- the norm of the tag (ex : NFC Forum Type 2)
- the available technology (ex: NFC A)
- its serial number (ex : 04:85:c8:5a:40:2b:80)
- the size of the tag and of the data on it
- if you can write on the tag
- all the data on the tag (NDEF format)
NFC Tools can record standard information on your tags which will be compatible with any NFC device.
For instance, you can store a VCARD to share your contact details easily, open an URL, share a phone number or even a geolocation.
The "Write" section let you record standardised data such as:
- a simple text
- a link to a website
- an email
- a contact
- a phone number
- a predefined text message
- an address or geolocation
- a WiFi or Bluetooth configuration
- personalised data
- and more...
The write function allows you to add as much data as you wish.
This way you can record large quantities of information on your tag.
The app also allows you to save the contents of your chip for later access.
NFC Tools has been tested with the following NFC tags:
- NTAG 203, 210, 210u, 212, 213, 213TT, 215, 216, 413 DNA, 424 DNA
- Ultralight, Ultralight C, Ultralight EV1
- ICODE SLI, SLI-S, SLIX, SLIX-S, SLIX-L, SLIX2, DNA
- DESFire EV1, EV2, EV3
- ST25TV, ST25TA
- Felica
If you encounter any problem, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Notes:
- Compatible from iPhone 7 and iOS 13.
- Use the "compatibility" mode to read/write Mifare Classic tags.

I spent $2.99 for the full functionality of this app and it does not read the NFC cards I need it to though they work with other Apps.
Recommend you do NOT download this app. Do NOT pay for the full functionality-you will be disappointed.

Great app

This app is great. Anyone complaining about “ugly UI” or how the app doesn’t spoon-feed you, telling you exactly what you need to do needs to learn how to use that thing on their phone that they probably refer to as “the Google”. It is no one’s fault but your own that you are disgustingly that incompetent. Computers have been around over 40 years and if you do not know how to use either those or your phone, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself as there is no excuse. No one came out of the womb knowing how to use computers and a lot of people manage fine. Take accountability for your own mental shortcomings and read one of the thousands of guides on the internet or watch one of the millions of videos on YouTube. Stop obnoxiously demanding people make compromises on things that are your fault and your problem, you are holding everyone back like an idiot kid in a classroom.
5 stars, this app is seamless and works reliably. Great job developer, amazing job actually. I really do appreciate your hard work on this.

Good, could be great

This app works reliably, but two things are needed to make it 5-star:
First, it needs to more clearly define how the workflow should work. For example, I kist discovered how to “edit” a record so I can update the info on a tag: first, you have to save the info under “my saved tags”. Next, you have to go into “Write”. Now, you need to “Load” data, which allows you to select the records from a Saved Tag. Now you can modify existing records and/or add new ones, and then write the data back to the tag. Also, the “Edit” option does nothing; to edit an existing record, swipe it and select the Pencil icon.
Far more straightforward would be to allow a user to Read an existing tag, immediately make that data available for reviewing and editing, allow the user to save the edited data (if desired), and the immediately offer the option to write the updated info back to the tag.

Don’t work, don’t get this app there is other apps use those. This app does nothing you have to get the “pro” version when I say it does nothing I mean it it will act like it is going to scan a d if can’t find anything you have to get pro but it doesn’t even advertise the pro version.

I’ve been using this app for a long time now and its has been amazing so far. there are 2 missing features though. the first one is not being able to read some cards. my iPhone would simply ignore some tags (I tested this with some NFC cards which are not credit cards). the second feature is it would be nice to write data exactly as its saved in the Saved Tags section

Connection Error. Please Try Again.

Gave it an extra two stars (3):
(1) no crashing despite ugly UI.
(2) C+ for effort to support the feature count.
Appears it may provide a decent adhoc tool for intermediate-level features and utilities. However, it’s unknown to me if those features are operable using NFC/RFID tags/chips unowned by me.
Upon attempts to read my NFC/USB-C Titan Security Key (Model: K40T), this application for the last two years has not been able to read it. Begins scan, after tapping the key against the top of device it successfully recognizes the NFC device and shows error message 'Connection Error. Please Try Again.' This fails every time, despite evident operability of the key on same device, and precisely using the NFC communication with other applications.

Just label the app for $3.

I don’t mind paying for any app, but when they trick you into a paid “Pro” version, I’m out. It’s not pro when the free version of the app is worthless. It’s just an ad at that point!
And it seems people are complaining for two years that contact info cannot be scanned. Has this been fixed?!? Would like to use the app, but not looking good.

Not Reading After Writing Contacts

Tried to go through the support page but it reset me back to the beginning so I’ll post here hoping to get a response.
I have two different types of NXP NTAG215s some are cards some are dots. I used the app to write contact information on them, but it seems that the phones can’t read it.
I’m using an iPhone 11, and it does work for website links, phone numbers, etc. it’s only when I try to write a contact, it says “complete”, but no other phones can read it.
Anyone else having this issue?

Totally awesome!! 👍👍

NFC Tools is totally awesome and I like the idea of going digital on the old school identification tags, such as dog tags. You can get creative and put your own information on the NFC sticker that is affixed to an old fashioned dog tag. I like the fact that you can do a mixture of old school and new school with NFC stickers too… Way to go and keep up the great work. 👍👍

Has Contacts Access without grant

Somehow this app, newly installed, has full and complete access to my contacts (in the write tag section). I did not grant this access, and the app is not even listed in Settings > Privacy > Contacts so it is not possible for me to grant or deny access to my contacts. This is a privacy breach and should not be possible on the latest version of iOS. I have reported this to Apple to investigate as well. Please explain.

Great, when it's working

I really like this tool. So far it's my favorite for reading/writing to NFC tags.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of hit/miss for me when used with my NTAG215 tags on my iPhone SE (2020).
Misses can occur often but it's mostly when writing. I'd password protect a tag, remove the password then find that it won't let me write to the yeah anymore. Been able to get around it by repeatedly setting a very basic short password, removing it, then trying to write to the yeah again.
Not entirely sure if this is a fault of the tags (quality?), the phone or the app.
Looking forward to updates.

Went on the App Store for about an hour and this seems to be the only one that tells me everything about the NFC chip as well as formatting and locking it with a password. Only problem I have is it doesn’t let me pair with my Sennheiser 4.40 BT headphones. That however I’m sure is an Apple issue because I’ve looked on Apple’s manual for NFC online and there doesn’t seem to be any documentation for pairing
