### 5/5 — Full tag text truncated when reading

*2025-12-11*

Update: thanks a lot for resolving this issue so quickly!!!

I had this app for a w I had this app for a while, but with the new version (not sure if this was the most recent one) the text read from the NFC tag gets truncated and the very large Raw data field shows the raw data. I personally don’t need raw data but my NFCs have 1K of memory, and I need to be able to read all the data I write there in a human-friendly form. 
Please address this issue because currently the application became unusable for me hile, but with the new version (not sure if this was the most recent one) the text read from the NFC tag gets truncated and the very large Raw data field shows the raw data.

### 5/5 — Perfect for reading NFC tags

*2025-10-31*

This app is perfect for quickly reading NFC tags. However, I would have liked a setting to automatically start scanning as soon as the app is opened : / and an icon for dark mode ^^

Cette application est parfaite pour lire rapidement des tags NFC. En revanche, j’aurais aimé qu’un réglage permette de lancer automatiquement le scan dès l’ouverture de l’application : / et une icône pour le mode sombre ^^

Приложение супер супер

### 4/5 — Fonctionne bien

*2025-06-07, version 1.2.0*

Fonctionne bien avec des ntag213 j’ai payer 0,99€ pour éviter la pub. C’est aussi pour contribuer au développement.
Ça serait bien d’ajouter des options tels que formatage du tag nfc, ssid wifi etc…
