Alternatively, you can subclass UIButton, and declare a NSString variable in the .h file.
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *tagString; You can then either set your buttons' class in Storyboards, or in code, and tag them with your strings by assigning that value. Otherwise, use typedef enum.

The tag property is an int, and will not take a string.

However, you can create an enum, and then set the tags appropriately.

typedef enum : int {
    Tag1 = 1,
    Tag2
} MyTag;

...

view.tag = Tag1;

UIView's tag property is of NSInteger type, so you can't place a string there. There are ways you can circumvent this, though (lookup tables, etc).
