About NFC Sniffer
Reads NFC tags and smart-cards and displays information on the screen.
For an ad-free version of this app, and to support further development, upgrade to the NFC Sniffer Pro.
This app allows you to explore the contents of the RFID/NFC enabled smart card transponders. This is very useful for anyone programming NFC applications, or for anyone who wants to see what transponders they are carrying around in their purse or wallet.
To scan a smart-card or NFC tag, start the app, then hold the card/tag within a few millimeters of the back of your device (you may have to swipe around a bit to find where the NCF reader is in your device).
The app displays:
* The transponder ID
* RF technologies used
* Type of transponder
* ATQA code
* SAK
* Target tech classes
* Number of times this transponder has been scanned
Not all android devices support NFC. If your phone or tablet does not support NFC, a message appears on the screen to notify you, and the app closes.
By default, NFC is disabled in most handsets. To use this app, and to use NFC on your device, you must enable NFC in your device settings. If NFC is not enabled on your device, this app displays a message and exits.
This app is no better than the NFC scanner and the RFID tag you are using. Not all phone chips can read all tags. If the phone cannot read the tag, there is nothing the software can do. This app shows whatever NFC contacts the hardware reports to the OS.

This app fails to execute after I open it. Perhaps it's a runtime error.

Can see dog icon top left in window and white screen then a not responding notification each time I open..... Update: reinstalled and ran on both home WiFi and my 4G connection which is super fast. Never had a problem with adds in other programs. Still says 'NOT REDPONDING'. Never heard of an add causing it to not respond. Never had problems with other apps. Always super fast.

I opened the app and nothing was functioning correctly. I tried a few different things that use NFC, but none of them worked. I honestly would give this app 1 or 2 stars, but I'm not surenifnthe problem was with the app or with my tablet.

The app works fine, after reading through some of the 1star reviews I've come to the conclusion that most of them come from people that don't know the restrictions that some devices have or what to actually do with the information read off the NFC tags/keycards.

It helps you quickly see what the NFC tag is about.
