Review on ACR1255U J1 Secure Bluetooth NFC Reader by John Boyce

Like many other NFC devices, this one is outdated. The article said it was ACR1255U-J1; but not exactly like the picture - it was missing the bluetooth logo. Bluetooth is only connected via the SmartAccess app which only reads the ID, a pretty useless app - my Android phone's keyboard covered half of the app window with no scrolling to see the bottom of the creation page. All other Andriod apps won't connect and the phone won't connect by itself. Won't pair with my Macbook Pro. Instead I had to use an old micro USB cable and then it worked with NFC Ideas the better App: NFC Tools for Desktop. Really defeats the purpose of Bluetooth.
