NFC Actions for Android
NFC Actions is an android app that lets you write Quick and Cloud Actions (and Flomio Zapps) to NFC tags. After a tag is written it can be quickly scanned to carry out an action like sending an email, opening a url, checking in with Foursquare, etc.
The app includes these main NFC actions:
---NFC Quick Actions---
- Zapps: Launch specific apps from the real world
- Application: Execute any application when reading an NFC Tag.
- Dial: Dials a phone number.
- Foursquare: Check-in at al ocation.
- Settings: Turn on/off Wifi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode.
- Light: Turn on and of your flash as a flashlight.
- Mail: Compose an email.
- Maps: Launch Google Maps.
- Maps Navigation: Launch Google Maps Navigation.
- Market: Link a tag to an android market app.
- Sms: Send an SMS.
- Street View: Open Google Street View.
- Text: Write plain text in a tag.
- Url: View an specific Url.
- Wi-Fi: Connect to a Wi-Fi through NFC.
- Youtube: View a Youtube video when reading a tag.
---Tag Utilities---
- Reset Tag
- Clone Tag
Nope. Doesn't work. Creating a tag results in perpetual loop of the writing animation.
Very well done app. Unfortunately it can't configure to switch mobile data on/off.
This app one of the best apps I tried
I would give 5 stars if I could use it to set volume
Beautiful as few others but the only action I found useful is WiFi. How about adding actions for muting phone? Do that and I will give 6 stars. Or more.
Nice UI but : Bluetooth/WiFi Toggle not working (separate on/off is ok), Not exist GPS on/off

Easiest free NFC writer available. I love this app!
This is a really great app, but the developer is better :) I installed this today, and then wrote the developer an email with a suggestion for adding new features. He emailed back very fast and thanked me for my suggestions. I can't believe he offers this great app for free! This developer really cares about making his app the best, and really cares about you the user. Thanks very much for such great work, and for caring!
First NFC tag writing app I tried and I love it.
Muy funcional y muy buena interfaz de usuario
It works really well
if you write a tag using this app with the intention for others to read it, they must download the app first... it's stupid and unlike other apps doesn't use the open standard.
It is missing many of the system level options I need like volume, enable/disable WiFi, etc. On the plus side, the UI is incredibly clean and easy to use. It's almost there.
I just got an NFC enabled device and have tried several apps. This is the best one I've found. It's the most versatile by far!
I would give 5 stars if I could use it to set volume
Nothing revolutionary, but a solid app nonetheless.
Very well done. Great options for writing and reading tags. Launches email, sms, dial a number, launch an app. Etc. Useful app
Create an account does not work. Shame looks great
CAnnot register cloud account
good
I used these tags with my windows phone with no problem, but on nexus says cannot write
All I want to do is create in NFC tag that allows guests to scan and login to my home wifi network so I don't need to hand them a piece of paper with a 50 digit password... and it does do that on my Nexus 7, but whenever someone scans the NFC tag from any other device it directs them to the Play Store to download this app instead of just logging on to my network. Why must my guests need to install your app to login to my wifi? Please fix this and I will be happy to give this app 5 stars.
The UI is excellent. More apps should look like this. Unfortunately this does not support GPS toggle or ringtone level selection so I'm going to have to go with something else. But the UI is the best I've seen and the translucent notification when you tap the tag is great as well. Please add those features!
Reads but won't write to Xperia.
All I want is to turn on GPS, is that so hard? I mean, who needs a tag to turn on flight mode? Going to stick a tag on every plane you travel on? Yet you could stick a tag in your car, and scan it to turn on GPS and maps. That appears to be too difficult to comprehend for this app.
Tons of fun functionality and it's free! Downside not that usefull
Seems really silly, also can't select where to turn WiFi/Bluetooth on or off, it only toggles it
Changing ring volume? Nope. GPS? Nope. Data syncing? Nah. Oh well...
Uninstalled. Waste of time.
The new update had everything the old version had, good job.
I am looking for one function from any app. I understand that this is a difficult task to complete, but I need a way to check in to a FaceBook page. I can create a huge following for these products, and will be able to market NFC technology quite well. Example: NFC sticker is placed on a business' window with a message above, "Tap your NFC phone here to join us on FaceBook". Currently Tagstand allows this by means of the fb website, but that is far too clunky. Do you think that this is possible?
Would love to see support for custom launcher actions (apex actions/shortcuts are pretty awesome).
But for the functionality NFC task launcher its a one step forward.
Very quick response from developer about lack of clone function in new version. They emailed old apk until this is added to new version shortly. Thank you. Wish all developer were this interested
Almost all tag writers do the exact same thing, but almost no tag readers have Clone Trooper icons.
I look forward to added options. Hopefully I'll be able to write several actions to a single tag soon.
Downloaded the app yesterday, tons of great features and GUI...Looks like this app will keep getting better with time... Good job!
My only gripe is 1 action can be written to each tag. Want each to do more.

...so I can't set up cloud tags. Except for this, app's good, but could use more settings like controls on phone's volume, data connection, profiles and so on. Still I need those cloud tags!
