### 1/5 — Lagging

*2025-10-02, version 2.1.0*

The app needs an update for IOS 26. It’s lagging and having problems in the latest version of the IOS. Please update it As soon as possible

### 1/5 — URI records dont work

*2024-12-16, version 2.0.0*

The process for writing a correct URI tag is so broken and buggy. eg, typing http:// wil crash the app.

however, writing a tag without it is not correctly formatted, so ios will not detect them. You must type the host portion then scroll to the beginning and at the protocol. 

it is horrible

### 3/5 — Would not work on my iPhone SE2

*2024-08-23, version 2.0.0*

I tried this app with my little iPhone SE 2 and could not get it to read the nfc chip on a recently purchased ATUVOS Find My tracker. 

I then loaded NFC Tools app and it had no trouble. Apparently pre iPhone 13 you do need an extra app but 13 onwards it should read in background. 

Just my experiences.

### 1/5 — URL Doesn’t work

*2024-03-01, version 2.0.0*

I keep trying to write a common URI to a URL like https://google.com, but the app keeps reverting to Custom URL for the URI, leaving out the crucial https:// protocol when writing to a tag.

### 5/5 — Works very well!

*2024-02-10, version 2.0.0*

Great app overall. Very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2024-02-10, version 2.0.0*

Easy and simple

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-25*

Doesn’t let you write the cards, it recognises them but then won’t let you write

### 1/5 — App has major bugs.

*2023-11-25, version 2.0.0*

When you try to write a url it is buggy and needs you to type in url data before picking URI type otherwise you cannot continue. But the second bug to that is that it does not write the url header. 

And if you try to manually type in a URI when you type in a second slash the program crashes

### 5/5 — Perfect for NFC implant

*2023-05-17, version 1.5.2*

Works great for my xiiisd implant. Scans perfectly under skin. I write my links on implant or some other info. 

Free app and never crashes

### 1/5 — Can’t write …

*2022-12-01*

It even fails with an NXP tag
