Working well on my Galaxy S3, and then now LG G pro 2 for both 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 OS. Would love it more if the team add widget view to the app.

Simple with no strings attached or privacy concerns. Note that each phone's location for the NFC sensor maybe different, but once you find out where the sensor is this app works really well
