Absolutely the best! It's the only app that lets me do exactly what I want with an NFC tag and compresses the data so that it actually fits my tag. I've tried a boatload of other apps and this is THE one. And the best part is that it's absolutely free. Sure, you can pay for the more advanced features but for a regular user who e.g. wants to: listen to music, have the volume at its loudest, not be disturbed while driving and be led to their destination at the touch of one tag - it's fantastic!

It detects new tags perfectly but my triggers only works when app is running in foreground! It won't work when app is running in background ! Is it a bug/limitation or I just missed something in settings ?!

Had on my old Samsung S5. Happy to put on my S9. So simple and useful. Will again upgrade to Pro version so that my Oyster card can have more than one cycle i.e. first touch will do This and second touch of Oyster does That e.g. silence the phone. Good App😉

The app could read most of the cards. My purpose of downloading the app was to use my phone as access card. I still couldnt figure out how to do that.

About this app

Re-use/ recycle write protected NFC Tags such as hotel key-cards, access badges, price tags, lift cards, key fobs etc...
You can use this app to associate multiple functions (e.g. Wlan OFF, Bluetooth ON, Mobile Data TOGGLE, start navigation,run Tasker task, start any installed app, use media buttons, call a phone number, add a timestamp, calendar entry, add Text-to-Speech and much more!) to a NFC (near field communication) tag via an app internal database. You can even add tag cycles and let your tag run different activities per scan. So ReTag is the perfect NFC automation tool for you ;-).

(Works with ANY android supported tag = re-writable AND write protected!)

With NFC ReTag you don´t have to write anything on the tag (-> uses the tag ID, great for small tagsizes and write-protected tags!) and NO data is send to the internet. Additional write options (for better dispatching, device independent tags etc.) are also available. Import of activity tags and beaming is also supportet.

*!* NFC enabled device required / NO root required *!*

If you have any issues, please do not hesitate to write us an e-mail.

Full description and changelog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138

An ad supported free version (with limited number of tags) and an unlimited ad-free (PRO) version is available. Please check if this app works on your phone via 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 work with such tags.

New features

2.24.x Maintenance update!
NFC ReTag is a NFC automation app first released 2012. Since 2012 Android did a lot to improve security. That´s good for the Ecosystem but also blocks a lot of features available in the early Android days. NFC ReTag does not try to hack around Android restrictions and is on an AS-IS basis. If an activity works -> good! If an activity does not work-> new Android restriction! -> Check app permissions!
