On iPhone, the NFC reader is located in the very top center of the phone, right behind the front-facing camera. The tag will scan from the front side or back side of the phone
On Androids they scan from the center-backside of the phone. NFC can be toggled on/off in settings so be sure your NFC is turned on. This will be in settings next to Bluetooth and wifi. NFC defaults to on. For Android, the phone must be unlocked to scan

Troubleshooting

If given this error try the following solutions

It’s showing "Write Error"

Re-try scanning (Step 5) multiple times - occasionally Review Zaps do not work on the first try. Re-attempt to scan as many times as necessary.
Check “Byte” Size - If your "Byte" size is over 1,000 bytes your link will not upload. We must make that link size smaller, to fix this use a site like www.shorturl.at or any "link shortener" website then re-paste the shortened link then rewrite. Note: To see your Byte size it is written beside the "write/XX Byte" text
Click “Other” on the home screen and click “Erase Tag” Then scan the tag again until successfully erased. Repeat the process again
