User Reviews

Users praise the app as a valuable BLE development tool with reliable DFU capabilities and useful quick-connect checks. However, frequent crashes, device discovery failures, and post-update regressions (logging, UART config export/import, auto-reconnect) significantly impact reliability.

Pros

Very useful BLE development and debugging tool.
DFU function is straightforward and reliable.
Helpful for quick device connectivity checks and seeing if other devices are connected.
Reads data from real devices (e.g., cadence meter) promptly.

Cons

Crashes and stability issues across Android devices/versions.
Device discovery failures: app not listing devices or reporting 'No device found' during scans.
Regressions after updates: loss of console/logging interface, reduced log history, missing UART config export/import, and lack of automatic reconnect.
