Have you tried Tap Signer or Cold Card MK4 with Nunchuk NFC tap? Should work like a charm. I have not tried Nunchuk NFC with my MK4 yet, because I scratched off the NFC connection on the PCB and it’s got NFC physically disabled. I do have a Tap Signer and can confirm that it works very well with Nunchuk, whether in a single sig configuration or a multi-sig configuration. My assumption is that the MK4 will work similarly well, since it’s based on the same spec.
When you’re using the Ledger, I assume it pairs to the phone via Bluetooth? I’m quite skeptical with hardware wallets having Bluetooth support, because of the range of Bluetooth, it seems like a bigger attack surface.
I remember listening to Craig on a podcast getting asked about if he will create a mobile version for Sparrow, and he said he wants to focus on desktop now and has no intention to work on a mobile phone Sparrow app. He may or may not have change his mind since the interview, but don’t count on a Sparrow phone app anytime soon.

While the MK4 does have NFC, the signal seems to be much weaker than the Tapsigner's. I can't get mine to talk with Nunchuk via NFC, and this seems like a common problem reading around online.
You can of course still import / export files the old fashioned way via micro SSD, but it would be nice if it worked.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have no idea that the MK4 NFC signal is weak. Yes you are correct, can always fall back to using PSBT over microSD for Coldcard, provided that the phone also has a microSD slot.
