A new flavor of the Nokia NFC Writer application is now available for download for the owners of Windows Phone 8-powered Lumia devices, namely version 1.0.0.550.

The new app release doesn’t come with a changelog attached, but those who already downloaded and installed it should benefit from fixes and enhancements, it seems.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Nokia released this application so as to provide its Lumia users with the possibility to easily read/write any standard NFC tags on their devices.

“You can create NFC tags to launch applications, check-in to places, update social status, or even make phone calls or send text messages by simply waiving your phone over the programmed tag,” the company explains.

The new flavor of the application is available for download through the Windows Phone Store, and can be seen listed on this page.
