NFC VS. Tasker

  Hello in Android land! I hope everyone is enjoying the Memorial Day weekend and using your US Cellular phone for lots of different things! If you have a fairly new smartphone you have the new capability called "NFC" or Near Field Communication. This technology allows you to "write" NFC tags to make your phone perform different functions that you set. I have one on my bed table which turns off WIFI, mobile data, volume to silent, and sets my alarm the next morning, all by passing my phone over a wafer thin tag!
  This is a short video highlighting the newest update to NFC Task Launcher, the best NFC writing app (IMHO) give it a watch.

  Now if NFC is not for you there is an alternative to NFC called Tasker. This is an app which will control your phone using different "triggers". I have one set to turn on WIFI, and turn off mobile data, when I get close to my home cell tower. Here is the first part of a three video guide on this great app. 

  Now you decide which of these great apps is your favorite. Let us know in the comments.

  As always feel free to contact me if you have questions about switching to US Cellular, these apps, or about Android in general!
