Scan and read NFC tags on your Android
If we are fortunate enough to own an Android device that supports NFC technology, this simple tool will come in very handy. This is because, having downloaded the APK file, we will be able to read NFC tags using our smartphone or tablet.
Tool for viewing NFC and contactless tags
NFC TagInfo is an NFC tag reader for Android devices. Its functioning could not be simpler, given that all we have to do is open the app and tap the screen. In the main menu, we will see whether the NFC system is disabled on our device (an option that will appear by default if our mobile phone does not support this technology).

If we have NFC disabled, we can enable it in device options or by tapping the message that appears in red on the app. Once activated, the tool will be ready and will display the message "scan a tag".
And that's about all. The only thing left to do is to find the corresponding NFC tag and read it with the help of this app and our phone, thereby deploying a range of possibilities for saving us from having to perform repetitive tasks on a daily basis.
