Desktop App: Supported NFC Tags and Readers

The Desktop App works with a defined set of supported NFC readers and NFC tags. Not all NFC readers and NFC chip types are supported. If you would like to have a specific NFC reader or NFC chip type supported, please submit a feature request.

Unsupported PC/SC NFC Devices

The Desktop App has limited support for unrecognized PC/SC based NFC devices. Technically, all PC/SC based devices should work the same per the standards, but in reality, there are differences in the hardware and drivers. The Desktop App can try to use these unsupported readers, but with limited functionality and no guarantee of accuracy or performance. Using an officially supported NFC reader and ensuring the latest drivers are installed is highly recommended.
