Does NFC require an app for it to work?

No, NFC does not always require an app to work.

For simple tasks like making payments with Apple Pay or Google Pay, scanning NFC tags, or using NFC to pair devices, you do not need a separate app. These features are built into most smartphones.
However, if you want to use NFC for custom tasks you will need an app like NFC Tools or Tasker (for Android) to configure and program to the tags.

Keep an eye out for our Seritag encoding app, launching soon. Allowing customers to read, program. configure and lock their tags.
