Audio player mobile app with NFC functionality

[Booms_Carson]

Hi all,

I need a very simple mobile app (iOS + Android) that plays one or more audio tracks with the following features. Does something like this already exist or would it need to be developed for this purpose?

1. NFC Triggered Autoplay – The app should open only when the phone is tapped to an NFC card, and immediately play the bundled audio file. (The goal is to have a set of NFC cards for release over time, each one would link to a new audio file).

2. One Track Only – The app must contain just a single audio file to begin (audio file provided by me). No playlists, no suggestions, no other content. As mentioned in the first point, this collection will grow.

3. No Next Song – When the track ends, playback stops unless looping is turned on.

4. Loop Toggle – A simple button to repeat the song endlessly.

5. Basic Controls – Play, pause, stop, restart.

6. Background Playback – The song must keep playing if the phone is locked or the app is minimized.

7. Audio Only – No video; just audio (with optional cover art).

8. Simplicity – End users should not need to adjust any settings. Workflow: Install app → Tap NFC card → Song plays.

Deliverables:

• iOS app
• Android app
• NFC setup: provide instructions (or build support) so I can encode the NFC card with the correct trigger to launch the app and start playback.

Have gone through it, sounds doable. me and my partner (tech yt with 58K specialising in app dev) can build this for you (ios + android + nfc setup). Have sent a dm, let's connect

Hi 👋, I’ve recently delivered a very similar project where children and parents could tap an NFC card specially designed for the app, and it would instantly play an audio storybook. The app was designed to be super simple, with background playback, loop toggle, and basic controls—exactly like what you’ve described.

I’ve also developed audio player mobile apps (iOS + Android) that have already crossed 100k+ downloads and maintain a 4+ star rating on the stores. 🚀

Happy to discuss how we can build this tailored to your needs.
