## Description

NFC ReTag PRO lets you smartly reuse or recycle write-protected NFC tags like hotel key cards, access badges, price tags, and more to trigger multiple device functions on Android. The app associates multiple activities such as toggling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, launching apps, starting navigation, sending calls or messages, calendar entries, Text-to-Speech, and many others to a single NFC tag using an internal database. It works with any Android-supported NFC tag, including re-writable and write-protected ones, without writing data to the tag itself, ensuring privacy with no internet data transmission.

With advanced features like tag cycles to run different activities on consecutive scans, Tasker integration, and support for importing or beaming activity tags, NFC ReTag PRO is a comprehensive NFC automation tool. It requires no root access and supports a vast range of device settings and wireless controls. This tool is ideal for anyone looking to automate repetitive actions using NFC tags on their Android devices. A free version is available to test compatibility before upgrading to the ad-free PRO version.
