User reviews

Please add NFC

It’s crazy to me that this app only supports Bluetooth on iOS. The NFC sdk has been made available for a while now and this functionality is very much needed when programming legacy readers with no BT module.

Worst app

The app doesn’t open at all. Crashes instantly.

Can’t apply settings

Upon trying to change reader configuration I keep getting errors and it won’t change any settings. Customer angry and lots of time wasted trying to get configuration changes to no avail.

Crashes on close

It crashes on close then will never open again. Have to delete and reinstall the. Just crashes and won’t open again.

Does not work with iOS 26

Opens to white screen and stays there on iOS 26.
