I don't and I wish I had known about them when they were still a thing.

What other forgotten accessory or innovation in Android history do you wish had taken off or would come back?

Looking into their FAQ that seems likely

The app shows as unsupported on the Play store? Sadly Google recently updated their minimum target requirement API version, forcing an update. Migration to a newer API version broke too many things, not practical to fix given the very limited amount of stock left. Please download the app .apk here. Please note that you may need to enable app installation from unknown sources. Alternatively you can use any of the many NFC tag automation apps on the play store.

Also answered my other big question

Will it work with my case? DIMPLE can be attached directly to your case instead of to the surface of your device. Unless the case is made out of metal, you should be fine.

I figured it would since I've never had a problem with NFC payment but it's nice to have reassurance. Now I want to see what exists in 2024 for the novelty. I'm not sure what I'd use it for. Maybe a Shazam button.
