User Reviews

Pros

Integrates well with Tasker for automation.
Provides useful actions like notifications and location tracking.
Functions as intended when it works, offering good data and interface.

Cons

Inconsistent beacon detection and responsiveness.
Sluggish performance with delayed actions (up to 90 seconds).
Battery drain when running in the background.

For the lucky users to find this app, yes, there is still hope for your smart wallet or other device that uses ibeacon. Set trigger task to activate a Tasker task. You can have it go as far as displaying a toast, notification, recording location data, exporting that data to a log file, appending more data to that same file, have a button on the notification to open the location data in maps, etc. There is a huge amount of potential here for people who know how to use Tasker, and use ibeacon. 8-)

It can set up actions for one IBeacon, but then the context menu disaapears, if it can find the other beacon. It does generate events for the setup beacon, but as noted, slowly. Unfortunately, this is the only app of it's kind.
