User Reviews

Overall, NFC Reader is praised for its simple, lightweight interface and quick NFC reading, including MIFARE card serials, with users noting it works as advertised and shows no ads. However, reliability issues recur, with several reviews reporting it doesn’t read or function properly at times. There are also formatting/display quirks, such as reversed order and reversed decoding formats. Some UX limits are mentioned, like non-scrollable history and no dark mode. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers still use it for quick NFC checks, including locating NFC areas on wearables.

No ads and efficient performance.
Long-standing, well-regarded RFID/NFC app (popular for years).

Cons

Reliability issues: sometimes does not read or function properly.
Formatting/display quirks: reversed order and reversed dec/hex formats.
UX limitations: non-scrollable history and no dark mode.

Recent reviews

As I frequently works with RFID cards, I often need to quickly get decimal, reverse decimal, hexadecimal, or reverse hexadecimal values, and this app shows all 4 in one place. Saves me a lot of time compared to converting manually. Huge time saver 👍

With this app and any credit or debit card that has contactless paying, you can test how well or if the RFID protection works on something. Because if you put a contactless card up to your phone with this app running, it will notice it and notify you. And so, if your card is in a wallet with RFID protection and you put it up against your phone, then the app shouldn't notice it. I just got a cell phone case wallet with RFID protection, and thanks to this app I know that it really does NOT have it
