Not sure what its good for.

COMMON SENSE

In order to use this app you must turn your Bluetooth on.

Helped me find my pebble

Worked for me pretty well I had been searching for my pebble watch for a couple of hours and it really helped narrow it down. Thanks

Horrible

Running iOS 9 and can’t even open app!

Works great

Works to find my fitbits and BLE tags on my keys. I normally dont write reviews but this app was recommended by someone to me and it worked great and I saw all the one star reviews. I thought Id balance out the one stars a bit, makes me wonder if the reviewers understand what BLE scanners are used for. Thanks dev!

Worked only once.

I was quite excited the first time I downloaded this, as it found all of my Bluetooth devices. However, every time Ive used it since then, it scans and scans endlessly and never finds anything. Im looking for a new app.

I found my Fitbit

I lost my Fitbit Charge two days ago and tried several Bluetooth-finding apps, including the one made by Fitbit. BLE Scanner was the only one that helped at all. Unfortunately I have to take a star away because the app was inconsistent and the RSSI values were way off. The best one I saw was in the -40s, and when I was actually standing next to the Fitbit it was in the -60s. It did give me an idea of the general area though. Thanks!

Crashes

Crashes on starting to scan. Using iOS 9 on iPhone 6 Plus

Crashes in iOS 9

App does not seem to support iOS 9. Crashes when you hit "scan" on the app and can never get it to work.

Found my wifes fitbit in the mud!

I had to keep restarting scanning which is why lost 1 star. Otherwise awesome!

Amazing App

Found my lost Shine!! Amazing!!

Instructions Would be Helpful

Works well once you figure out how to turn the sound on. You get what you pay for but its far less expensive than a new Fitbit.

Shine gal

I was able to narrow down the search inside my house to find my misfit Shine!!! Love this app. Highly recommend it!

App not useful for headset?

Wanted to check the battery status on a new Bluetooth 4.1 wireless headset. Nothing useful here. No battery info, no Bluetooth name, just gibberish... Looking elsewhere... {{ iOS 9.1 on iPad Air 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular, Verizon. }} New Bluetooth Headset QCY QY8. Paired and connected.

Works

Found fit bit within 10 minutes with this app. great app!

Not for headsets

I 2nd a previous review that this app is not for use with headsets. It shows NO useful info and nothing at all about battery level

Basic Bluetooth Signal Strength Scanner

Took awhile to figure out how it works. Instructions would be helpful. Found my FitBit with trial and error. Turn on the sound in the settings. When you are closer to the object, the pitch will be higher. -85 was most of the house. -50 was when I was very close.

It worked!

I was skeptical at first but if you stop the scan, an (i) pops up and you can turn on the sound. High pitch is closer. Most devices in our home we unlabeled but misfit dash was labeled as "shine." This app saved my fitness tracker from getting washed with the laundry.

Found my Jot Touch Pixelpoint

Was in the middle of working on a school project and I use my Jot Touch to take notes on my iPad. I couldve easily searched the house like a madman, but thought, what if I could search for the Bluetooth signal?. I looked online, found this app and though it took some figuring out, I found my stylus. Keep in mind, the app doesnt have an actual zero. For me and others on here, -50 was my zero. Turning the sound on made it easier as well. Looking forward to seeing what updates they come up with!

Wasted my time

There are no instructions, all it seems to do is indicate the power level as such proximity of a Bluetooth device. I saw no option to be able to modify the name of a unit - I have 3 fobs and woudl like to name each individually. I am sure this must be possible as each I presume has its own signature, but how to do it ??? No idea as there are no instructions. Totally wasted my time.
