Review summary

Users appreciate the app's stability and useful features like cycling actions triggered by NFC tags, enabling automation such as lighting control. However, common complaints include the need for root access for some functions, mobile data toggle not working on certain devices, inconsistent tag reading, and repeated prompts to install add-ons or grant root permissions. The app is favored for its unique cycle feature and broad NFC tag compatibility but could improve usability by addressing root requirements and enhancing reliability.

Pros

Stable app that does not crash compared to alternatives like MacroDroid.
Helpful in automating tasks such as lighting scenes and cycling through sets of actions via NFC tags.
Supports scanning most NFC tags, including single-use Dutch OV Chipcard.
Provides a 'cycle' option allowing toggling between different actions via NFC tags.

Cons

Requires root access for certain features, which frustrates users who do not want or cannot root their phones.
Issues with toggling mobile data on some devices, including Nexus 5 and devices running Cyanogen OS 5.0.2.
Some NFC tags work intermittently, leading to inconsistent behavior.
Multiple requests to install an add-on or provide root access even when already installed or not desired.

2016-07-12	A *****	The cycle option is good feature. I can have a sets of action on by first nfc tag, then revert it back by next cycle. Not sure if other app do the same. Though the available action is not that much. But at least this app is stable. Doesnt crash like macrodroid.
