NFC Tools can read and write your NFC tags with a simple and lightweight user interface. By passing your device near an NFC chip, you can read the data it contains and interact with the content. The "Read" section allows you to see data such as: - the maker of the tag - the type of tag (ex : Mifare Ultralight, NTAG213) - the norm of the tag (ex : NFC Forum Type 2) - the available technology (ex: NFC A) - its serial number (ex : 04:85:c8:5a:40:2b:80) - the size of the tag and of the data on it - if you can write on the tag - all the data on the tag (NDEF format) NFC Tools can record standard information on your tags which will be compatible with any NFC device. For instance, you can store a VCARD to share your contact details easily, open an URL, share a phone number or even a geolocation. The "Write" section let you record standardised data such as: - a simple text - a link to a website - an email - a contact - a phone number - a predefined text message - an address or geolocation - a WiFi or Bluetooth configuration - personalised data - and more... The write function allows you to add as much data as you wish. This way you can record large quantities of information on your tag. The app also allows you to save the contents of your chip for later access. NFC Tools has been tested with the following NFC tags: - NTAG 203, 210, 210u, 212, 213, 213TT, 215, 216, 413 DNA, 424 DNA - Ultralight, Ultralight C, Ultralight EV1 - ICODE SLI, SLI-S, SLIX, SLIX-S, SLIX-L, SLIX2, DNA - DESFire EV1, EV2, EV3 - ST25TV, ST25TA - Felica If you encounter any problem, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Current Week at 100% against NFC Tools's 51%. NFC Tools's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Current Week sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NFC Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NFC Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools has 14K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Current Week's written reviews are positive against 51% of NFC Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Current Week ships an update every 3 months, NFC Tools every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
