The description of NFC ReTag FREE

Site Editorial Commentary:The perfect NFC tool for your device automation ideas.

NFC ReTag FREE: Re-use and recycle your write-protected NFC tags, such as hotel key-cards, access badges, price tags, lift cards, and key fobs. Unleash the potential of your NFC tags by associating multiple functions to them using this powerful app.

With NFC ReTag FREE, you can trigger actions like turning Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth on, toggling mobile data, starting navigation, running Tasker tasks, launching any installed app, conTrolling media buttons, calling a phone number, adding a timestamp, creating calendar entries, utilizing Text-to-Speech, and much more! The app employs an internal database to manage these associations.

Take it a step further by adding tag cycles, enabling your NFC tag to perform different activities with each scan. NFC ReTag FREE is the ultimate NFC automation tool, offering unparalleled flexibility and control.

It's compatible with ANY Android-supported tag, including both re-writable and write-protected tags!

NFC ReTag FREE operates without writing any data directly onto the tag itself. Instead, it utilizes the tag's ID, making it ideal for small-sized and write-protected tags. Rest assured, NO data is transmitted to the internet. Additional write options are available for improved dispatching and device-independent tags. Activity tag import and beaming are also supported.

This is an ad-supported free version (with a limited number of tags). An unlimited ad-free (PRO) version is also available. Please verify that this app functions correctly on your phone using the FREE version before downloading the PRO version.

Supports any standard Android NFC tags (NFC Forum Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4 etc.).

Hints:
Issues with TASKER: Install Tasker BEFORE NFC ReTag, enable Misc / Allow External Access in Tasker UI, enable Tasker (on/off button), try the Tasker fallback option within NFC ReTag settings!

Some security-related NFC Tags (e.g., in passports) change their ID on every read attempt. This app will not function with such tags.
