## What is NFC Actions?

Read and Write NFC tags with your iPhone! 

You can read and write a URL, SMS, Phone Number or Email on a NFC Tag using Apple's CoreNFC or our NFC enabled devices. You can also hook it up to trigger any IFTTT actions.

If your phone has NFC capabilities (iPhone 7/7+, iPhone 8/8+, iPhoneX) or if you have a FloBLE Plus or FloBLE Noir NFC accessory, this app is designed to use NFC to streamline and automate your world. 

When you tap the NFC tag the app will launch a web page, send your friend a text, dial a phone number, or compose a first draft of that important email. 

Note: You need a NFC Reader Accessory to write tags, Apple's CoreNFC does not yet support writing to NFC tags.

FloBLE Plus and FloBLE Noir NFC Accessories
NFC Actions can use the FloBLE Plus and FloBLE Noir NFC readers to read and write tags. The devices connects via bluetooth to your device and can read and write information to NFC tags.

Waste of time. Don’t download.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone XR

This app does not work as advertised. It says it will work on my phone. But instead it just asks me to buy one of their readers

### 1/5 — Useless on XR

### 1/5 — Will Crash. Doesn't Work. Avoid!

*2014-06-30*

The app crashed the first time I used it. It crashed the second time. The third time it froze, the iPhone title bar above the app (where the time is) went red, then the phone crashed. This is the only app where I've encountered such problems.
