User Reviews

Reviews show Locate Beacon is valuable as a beacon testing/simulation tool for developers and testers when it works. However, repeated issues include failing beacon scans, an unclear overall purpose, and UI/UX shortcomings such as the keyboard overlay and general polish. Some users also report crashes on newer devices. Overall, the app has clear utility but needs improved reliability and clarity.
Pros
  • Useful for developers to test iBeacons.
  • Cheaper and easier to simulate beacons than buying real devices.
  • App is helpful and functional for beacon testing in some reviews.
Cons
  • Inability to see or scan iBeacons (scanning not detecting beacons) mentioned by multiple users.
  • Unclear purpose or use-case of the app (ambiguous value for some users).
  • UI/UX issues, including keyboard blocking input and general polish concerns.

App crashing on iPhone 15 pro max running iOS 17.2

I am unable to see iBeacons when scanning. I tested advertising from another iPhone with the same Locate app and from the RadBeacon E4 with no luck. Tried with iPhone XS and 11 Pro Max.

The android version of this app is exactly what I wanted. Sadly, the iOS version is extremely lacking. Android version: lists all beacons advertising in range. iOS version: add beacon info under settings to locate.
