This application lets you manually record data points under a series of labels. Labels are user-defined series of numbers or physical locations identified by NFC tags. If NFC tags are used, this application enables the reading of the tag content, for instance tag number and description, and record this information against the data points you collect. Recorded data can be uploaded in AirDrop or shared across devices.
