No no no

It will write and it will read it has no examples of any โ€˜shortcutsโ€™ to simply click on waste of 99 pence

Exactly as promised

We all already know that Apple choose to limit the NFC abilities of iphones 7 to X. So do not expect this app to fix those issues.

But it does provide a working bridge, that is quite easy to implement. I was able to write AirPods to a tag, scan it, and have a shortcut repair my airpods to my phone. I stick the NFC on the airpods, and it works well enough.

NTAG215

Not compatible with NTAG215

Good app but it hangs

As title states, it just hangs until I kill ALL running apps on my iPhone X

Response from developer

Hey Michael, so you don't have to kill all running apps, however, due to a limitation on the way iOS reads NFC tags you can't have two apps simultaneously reading tags, which was probably the case, hence why you had to kill the other one, otherwise iOS will report the NFC Reader as being busy and it won't give this app control over it. Let us know if we can help!
