### 5/5 — Lifesaver for formatting stubborn tags

*2024-07-10*

I was trying to use some ST25DV04K dynamic tags, which come fully blank.  No other app I’ve found has supported NDEF formatting these tags and it’s really saved my butt on a project.  The one time unlock for bulk writing was a little on the pricey side, but really I’m just thrilled to be able to use these tags without having to program them over I2C.  Thanks so much!

### 4/5 — crashes on read

*2023-04-24*

couldn't use app on iphone 13 max due to crashing on read.
