Description

NFC is supported on iPhone 7 or newer only; iPad and iPod Touch do not have the hardware to interact with NFC tags.
-----
Read, write, interact, and hack your NFC tags on your supporting iPhone!
Smart NFC is one of the first apps to support native NFC writing directly from your device. With numerous custom records to get you started, you'll be writing to most NDEF-formatted NFC tags in no time. Don't have any NDEF-formatted tags? Format them in the Advanced section.
Tag-specific features are being added that allow you to edit a tag's memory directly, which opens the doors to all kinds of new features!
Tag not scanning? NDEF format new tags from the Advanced section to get them working right!
An NFC tag is written with a single "Message" which contains any number of "Records." These records define text, links, and data to be stored on the tag. Most tags can be scanned by holding the top of your iPhone within a few centimeters. A chip is only limited only by its size. As long as the chip is NDEF-formatted (most are, and other formats will be supported in a later version) and it has enough space, the limits are endless!
Features:
- Read, write, duplicate, erase, and permanently lock NDEF-formatted tags
- Monitor a tag's max capacity (usually somewhere between 256-1024 Bytes)
- Read, write, and interact with links (https://, sms://, facetime://, mailto:, etc.)
- Write a variety of pre-defined Social Media and website records
- Read and write text records with multiple language localizations
- Use Background Tag Reading to interact with NFC tags without an app. Write a link to a tag and then tap it to your phone. Voila! (Supported on iPhone XS and newer)
- Review and rewrite previous messages from your History to another tag
- Format factory-programmed tags as NDEF tags in-app (Supports most common tags such as Type 2 and Type 5 NFC tags)
- Read and write directly to a tag's memory
- Send custom commands directly to a tag
- And of course, target your users better by using a tag's unique identifier
Extras:
- Dark Mode
- Privacy: we collect nothing as you use the app.
Supported Devices:
- NFC scanning is available on iPhone 7 and newer. iPad and iPod Touch do not have the required hardware.
- Background Tag Reading is available on iPhone XS and newer. iOS will present a notification for the first valid link stored on a tag.
Supported Tags:
- Any NDEF-formatted tags
- MIFARE Ultralight
- NTAG 213/215/216
- NXP ICODE® Tags, ISO 15693 Tags, and Type 5 Tags
Future support for:
- MIFARE DESFire
Limitations:
- MIFARE Classic tags are not currently supported by iOS

Future features:
- Include a tag's ID and/or its read count in a record
- Password-protect an NFC chip
- Connect to a Bluetooth device

Smart NFC Reviews

Doesn’t work

Ern-826 on

United States

Every card I try to write doesn’t scan. I’ve used the same card with a different app and it works perfectly.

Deep linking feature is amazing

ArWsf on

United States

The ability to create smartnfc:// links with pre-populated data is a game changer for situations where you have to write many tags. It’s the only NFC app I know that has this feature. Bravo!

Meh, lackluster.

One star for pestering users for reviews.

Solid, but missing function to add contact

Please add function so I can add contact….

I tried scanning a tag and was impressed with the reviews and purchased the app but it doesn’t work. I’m using an iPhone 12 pro

It crashes when I try to change protocols

Slatemeta on

United States

I’m having trouble writing to Type 5 tags because the app crashes when I use the advanced mode and change protocols.

This is the best NFC app that I could find for iPhone when tinkering with some pesky NFC tags. Unfortunately my tags were password protected, and the only advanced option for my tag type was to remove the password. Overall, still a great app.

Great App

Been using this to read and write NDEF tags and it works great. Very responsive dev too. Thanks!

Doesn’t work

Lazhit on

United States

Like other comments, this specific app didn’t work (even though my phone and my cards are in the supported list), and other apps didn’t. I really wanted it to work because this one I actually paid for. I merely tried to read a card and no luck.

Does not read tag

Scubajeff2 on

United States

Other readers on phone work with tag but not this one. ISO 15693 (type v). Hopefully fix is avail.
