ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NFC Tag Writer & Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sarotis has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Sarotis's written reviews are positive against 0% of NFC Tag Writer & Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sarotis ships an update every 4 weeks, NFC Tag Writer & Reader every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
