NFC TagInfo for Android
This was my favorite NFC curiosity-satisfying app: always was neat to look "inside" an NFC/RFID tag. Worked great on my Moto X 2013 with 5.1 (latest official), but crashes on every tag read attempt on the same model phone running Marshmallow (lineage os 13). That's why I had to give it a lower review. If I hadn't upgraded this phone I'd say 5 stars for features and no ads.
Error when scanning UK passport, with access key entered. Also concerned over comments users who scan credit cards have had accounts emptied. Worrying!
Easily zero star for doing nothing and no instruction or FAQ!! NFC service is turned ON & Android Beam is also ON, and the up is doing nothing (tried to scan couple of cards & passports...etc
This app read my NFC tag even when other readers didn't work.
Good app, does what it says on the tin, but it does not seem to offer a way to export or copy the text data.
Actually reads cards but only the first pic of numbers. Not helpul though
Maybe I have the wrong type of tag?
Garbage app. Crashes my phone when I try to uninstall
Need a way to open saved files though
Now it's forever in my phone! Cannot uninstall it
Perfect for those developing NFC devices.
I got my new passport today and wanted to read the info, and check to see if the "only works when it is opened" claim is true. Either my Passport is broke from the US government, my Nexus 4 isn't working right with NFC on Lollipop, or this app isn't able to read the newest US passports. Bummer. Now I have to wrap the entire thing in a tinfoil hat...
I can't seem to get this to read my US passport on Android 5.0 (Nexus 6). I get Authentication error. Warning processing: State of non-volatile memory has changed / No information given. The MRTD keys are correct. I was able to get it working with an older phone though, although the NFC is weak.
Thank god. I had washed my opal card (mifare classic 1k) and thought i totalled it. (Uninstalled this due to using nfc pro tools) but instead, i installed again, tapped my card and was pleased to see it wasn't destroyed. Thanks dudes!
Read Tag is grayed, so App doesn't do anything. No Help, No FAQ...
This version works like a charm with my UK and Italian passport! Remember to turn off the autostart feature or the application will kick in every time it detects a NFC / RFID tag.

From the permissions list: PREVENT DEVICE FROM SLEEPING Allows the app to prevent the device from going to sleep.
AVOID THIS APPLICATION. Cannot uninstall application crashes my phine evrytime I tried to uninstall.
What am I doing wrong? It won't do anything. (Galaxy S4 - Lollipop 5.0.1) I have NFC and Android Beam turned on. It would be nice if there were instructions, FAQs or a help file somewhere. My US passport card is 5 years old and has RFID. My US passport book is brand new. It won't respond to either.
Looks good but not a cc reader
Does not work on Nexus 6
There is no menu button in newer androids so can't get into options of this app
Having never used the NFC function of either my N5 or N9 I became quite frustrated when I could not get them to communicate with each other, with the help of this app reading my passport I discovered that the NFC antenna in the N9 is in the upper right hand corner. Now I can send things between the 2.

Работает с российским биометрическим паспортом.
Didn't work on Xperia Z3 Compact
Do not remove tag, This may take up to a minute ... and it took forever
Almost like my nfc is broken, but works just fine with other apps.
Crashes when scanning
Please get rid of the Eclair buttons. This app needs a small facelift. Also display that the tag has encrypted content without the need to go to a submenu. It should be on the main screen.

But could you maybe combine it into a more unified screen instead of pressing buttons to look at little bits? And when listing the read/write, or the ASCII, the byte # is not nessesary, or please make 2 columns, as it is distracting.
I have the same problem as +Merijn Bellekom ... When I try to uninstall this app it automatically reboots the phone so I can't get rid of it.... edit: after it rebooted my phone I didn'T run it and uninstalled it right away and it works. changed my rating from 1 start to 2, once this bug is squashed I will rate it appropriately :3
Blocks other nfc apps
Showed me at least some info where some famous tools failed to.
App is responsive to all functions EXCEPT its primary one, to initiate a scan. Upon trying to uninstall, phone crashes and reboots.
Awesome app! It can even read my biometric passport, with PICTURE :D
Reads and displays tag info like a charm. Test deleted and it really did delete. I reinstalled it and it's now a keeper.

BE CAREFUL INSTALLING THIS APP: Seems to work well enough as a NFC reader. I found with hidden apps detector that the program installs another hidden (potential spyware / malware) program along with the NFC reader by the same developer. This is why I'm giving it a low rating. Be careful using this app. The NXP TagInfo app is a better NFC Tag reader in my opinion.
