ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NFC Tools & RFID Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFC Tools & RFID Scanner has 323 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of NFC Tools & RFID Scanner's written reviews are positive against 31% of Matrix Panel Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NFC Tools & RFID Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, Matrix Panel Plus every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
