NFC interactor is a powerful Near Field Communication tag reader / writer app, aimed at enthusiasts and developers.
NFC Tag Reading and NDEF Parsing
Tap NFC tags to analyze their real contents. NFC interactor will instantly tell you the writable tag size and parse standardized NDEF messages to human readable form.
NDEF Message Editing and NFC Tag Writing
Compose your own NDEF messages by combining one or more NDEF records using the dynamic editor interface. Various templates assist you, allowing you to concentrate on the content instead of the format. Supported formats include business cards, Bluetooth connection handover tags, geo tags, LaunchApp or social network tags. Once your message is finalized, write it to as many tags as you like.
Live Tiles
Pin your favorite tag compositions to live tiles for instant tag writing or sharing. For example, create & customize your business card with NFC interactor, pin it to a live tile and share it to your friend’s phones with a single tap!
Edit and Clone NFC Tags
Tap and hold on a parsed message to open its contents in the composer for editing. Alternatively, you can directly clone an NDEF message from one tag to another.
Peer-to-peer
In addition to writing tags, you can send your NDEF messages to another NFC device. Compose the message as usual, and then tap the “share” button. This is a great way to test how other devices react to any kind of message that you created within seconds!
Professional Features
For professional use, you can view raw NDEF message bytes, import complete messages from .nfc files or a hex string, save them for later re-use, share message details via email or use the custom record editor to manually specify type name format, type and payload. Additionally, NFC interactor is the only app for Windows Phone that allows creating multi-record NDEF messages.
When you need to erase a tag, NFC interactor can optionally overwrite the complete writable tag memory area with random data, to ensure the old contents can’t be extracted using low level tools.
