Description
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.
(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.
You could combine any activities and add as many activities and cycles as you want per tag. (obviously except for writing activity tags -> depends on tagsize). For best performance and dispatching, write a special NFC ReTag tag (this is NOT an activity tag!).

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, MIFARE Classic, Ultralight(C), DESFire 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. Tags containing only an URL will only work when app is in foreground.

THIS is cool, works great with tasker since the nfc tags is reused, cost nothing. with tasker tasks nfc can do everything!

Geat idea, appaling interface. This is a great app! Especially since it is so hard to get nfc tags. Now I just use my company ID card to set up my phone for work! Interface is ugly as hell though...

Great app, needs work Love what it does, if you added the ability to switch the action per read I'd never need another nfc app, ie read one does action one, read two does action two and repeat

The best NFC tag reader This is the best NFC tag reader by far, it let you save actions into the phone when a NFC tag is used. That is very useful because you can use any card to perform any actions without messing directly with it, just reading it. Great app!

Support Hi Ryan, writting a comment is the worst option to ask for support because the devs can not answer comments (thanks Google!). Writing a short email or have a look at the xda forum (--> link within the app description) makes much more sense. BTW: Tasker works without any problems ... you have to activate the "Allow External Access" option within Tasker .... and sometimes there is a permission issue if Tasker is installed after NFC ReTAG ...usually reinstalling NFC ReTAG solves this ... don´t forget to backup your database ;-) ... but again writing a short email or have a look at the forums makes much more sense, if you have a problem.
