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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TastyFuture at none against NFC Tools's 1. TastyFuture also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). NFC Tools's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 4) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
