User Reviews

GoToTags is widely praised as an easy-to-use, fast NFC/QR tag reader for iOS. Reviewers highlight a clean UI, rapid scans of NFC tags and QR codes, and reliable performance. Many call it one of the best NFC apps and commend the company’s hardware, software, and support. However, iPhone-specific limitations can curb NFC functionality, with compatibility issues on newer models like the iPhone XS. Overall, a strong tool with practical scanning features, tempered by platform caveats.
Pros
  • Easy to use and looks great
  • Reads NFC tags and QR codes
  • Fast and responsive with minimal lag
  • Regarded as one of the best NFC/tag reader apps
Cons
  • iPhone compatibility: NFC functionality limited by Apple's restrictions and issues with newer iPhone models (e.g., XS)
Recent reviews
I have no opinion about GoToTags in itself. (Thus the 5 stars.) Iwrite this review because GoToTags was recommended as a workaround for using NFC with iPhones.This is for folks who buy MyID tags with NFC, and are trying to get them to work with iPhone. They don’t. Apple won’t allow it. Your expensive MyID tags are useless if your EMT or other healthcare giver uses iPhone. There is a phone number. And I am sure the app developer hires a large number of competent and eager staff to man the phones 24/7. Ha ha ha ha ha! I suspect one gets an automated system with Ms. Robot-on constantly saying “I am sorry. I didn't get that. Could you repeat?”
