Hello I have downloaded a NFC reader app and I could not read the card I want to scan, though I succeeded to do so with my galaxy note 8.
Does anyone one why thats happen and how can I enable this on my iPhone? it just does not react to the card when I put in on the back of the phone ..

Apple restricts the NFC function to Apple Pay. It is not a general purpose NFC reader.
Ohh so I can not insert any other kind of cards? like coded cars for public transportations?
In my country I know Apple Pay service does not work ..
While Apple opened up NFC somewhat with iOS 11 to allow some NFC Core Service functions, it still only works between a specific app and device. So there are medical devices, for example, where the device manufacturer can now develop an App to read data via NFC from their device.
The only generic NFC reader apps in the App Store are ones that can read generic NDEF formatted NFC tags like URLs from NFC chips on product packaging. You cannot read credit or debit cards or service cards, etc with any of them, nor gift cards or any such things.
You can only read basic unsecured binary format message tags with the general NFC Reader apps in the App Store.
