[0]: New in Metrodroid.

[1]: MIFARE Classic: not compatible with all devices.

[2]: Encryption keys are required to read this card.

[3]: CEPAS (Singapore): not compatible with all devices (ISO 14443-B).

[4]: Only the card number can be read.

[6]: Encryption keys are downloaded from the operator.

You require a NFC-compatible phone in order to read cards.

You need a NXP NFC chipset in your phone in order to read MIFARE Classic cards. Some phones have NFC chips from other manufacturers, which do not read MIFARE Classic cards (eg: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S4). Check the About screen in the app in order to determine if your phone supports MIFARE Classic.

Some agencies have encrypted cards. You will need to acquire encryption keys in order to read them. These are generally unique to each card. Sorry, I can’t help you with this.

Some other agencies’ cards using Cubic Nextfare or ERG on MIFARE Classic may also work.
