### 4/5 — Works great to enable tag writing

*2024-10-19, version 7.5*

The interface is very customizable and sophisticated. It'll take a little while to understand the error messages, but I was able to successfully write to a tag to include in items we sell so that people can find our websites without scanning a qr code.

### 1/5 — Absolutely clownery on display here

*2024-10-02, version 7.5*

Don’t get this app under the reasonable impression that it’s free to use. Your downloading a big billboard to advertise their ludicrously expensive paid service. I hate this App Store with every fiber of my being.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-07-31, version 7.7*

Unable to write to tags any more, only receive an error indicating I need to read the tag first. No matter how many times I re-read the tag, I am still unable to write to it. The app was great when initially downloaded since it simply did what it was intended to do, but it just doesn’t seem to work any longer.

I think this app has a great color scheme easy to read and the navigation is simple enough even for me to use! It won’t run you in circles and really does what it says! I will give this 2.5 stars to leave room for improvement.
