It's cool, does it work without the app? And does the card have a QR code printed on it?

I'd really like to exchange contact info when meeting new people more easily. It's always a negotiation of "do you have this app?" "no but I have this app" "ah I don't have that app, do you have this" "no, but I can give you my number". If they can scan a QR code and get all my info without needing to install anything, that sounds great.

Actually quite surprised Apple doesn't have a feature to exchange info on your own contact via NFC.

It does work without the app. You can display a QR code on your phone's screen to let people see and act on your contact info even if they don't have Neucards installed. In fact, I use my wife's android phone all the time for testing. You can also set up card types to just share certain info, like professional, personal, family, friends, etc.

The tap cards do not have a QR code printed on them because I create an access key dynamically when you activate the tap card.
