NFC apps

[Anonymous]

Hello

I've recently upgraded to a samsung s3 with NFC, but have no apps that use it! 😞 anyone got any recommendations?

O2 are working on a new payment system called Weve, I don't know of much else though.

Also you can transfer files using S-Beam:

I've used NFC Task Launcher on my Note 2 with some Sony tags, but to be honest as the phone needs to be unlocked anyway it's often just as quick to do things manually.

Until NFC becomes more widespread, or Apple adopts it (:smileylol:) it's better kept for fast pairing IMHO.

Thanks for the reply, I watched the video attached to the post and went straight to Amazon to buy some NFC tags, I think I'm going to have so much fun with this

I agree, I cannot wait for it to be used in more places... I want my bank to introduce it now... but I guess these things take time.

Let us know how you get on.
