ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NFC Tools & RFID Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools & RFID Scanner has 330 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Murmur's written reviews are positive against 28% of NFC Tools & RFID Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Murmur ships an update weekly, NFC Tools & RFID Scanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
