User Reviews and Ratings
★★★☆☆It’s good for what it does
By clicking help it tells you what happens, The only problem is that you have to close the shortcuts and this app before scanning again. Even then, there’s a chance it just won’t scan.
★★★★★Excellent
App works great and allows me to use iPhone X to run shortcuts from nfc triggers as described.
★★★☆☆Great but
I can’t get this to run unless app is open help me
★★★★★Exactly as promised
We all already know that Apple choose to limit the NFC abilities of iphones 7 to X. So do not expect this app to fix those issues.
But it does provide a working bridge, that is quite easy to implement. I was able to write AirPods to a tag, scan it, and have a shortcut repair my airpods to my phone. I stick the NFC on the airpods, and it works well enough.
