Features & Capabilities

Bluetooth LE Scanner is a powerful Chrome extension designed to scan and retrieve detailed information about Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE) devices around you. It leverages a dedicated Bluetooth LE library to offer seamless access to device Advertisement Records, providing users with real-time data.

Key features include maintaining a simple running average RSSI reading, parsing manufacturer data for iBeacons, and offering distance indicators such as Near, Far, Immediate, and Unknown. Additionally, it approximates device distance to enhance device tracking and interaction. Compatible with Android 4.3+ (API Level 18+), it requires location access on latest Android versions due to BLE device discoverability revealing user location.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, speed, and effective scanning capabilities, especially for BLE development and device location tasks. However, repeated complaints mention the mandatory location permission, outdated app updates with potential security risks, lack of sorting and filtering options, and auto-clearing of scan results. Despite some detecting numerous unknown devices during scans, overall the app is seen as a straightforward and useful Bluetooth LE scanner.

Pros

Simple and fast with clear information
Works well for discovering Bluetooth devices, including pulling serial numbers
Helpful for BLE device development
Effective export feature
Can locate specific devices like Fitbit using signal levels

Cons

Requires location permissions to scan, which some users feel is unnecessary
App has not been updated in a long time and uses an outdated SDK raising security concerns
The device list clears itself periodically and there is no option to prevent this
Filters and sorting options are limited; users want sorting by name, most recent, or closest
Some scans detect many unknown devices, causing confusion and suspicion
