ALLOW CHANGING OF DEFAULT FORMAT
Much better than the other BLE dev apps out there. Especially appreciate the ability to quickly recall (write) something previously sent to a characteristic. My biggest issue is their default format of HEX. If I subscribe to a characteristic to receive notifications after changing to the UTF-8 format, I’d expect the notifications to be in that format, not HEX. Please add an app wide setting to change the default format, or at least retain the selected format for notifications.Show lessOld Fan Turned Angry
Barely works for Apple Pencil
I have an 10th gen iPad with a Apple Pencil 1st gen. I watched tutorials on how to connect and it said this app. I got it and it only worked to connect twice. Now I won’t even show up on my Bluetooth. Nor my iPad or Apple Pencil died and it still won’t work. If your trying to hook up an Apple Pencil I do not recommend and I would just get the adapter.Show lessCoollily27
Amazing app
I use the app all the time to find my earbuds and it works amazingly one problem is that it would be nice to be able to blue tooth connect to a device through the app because sometimes my phone won’t connect but light blue shows it’s possible.
Again great apploot-lama-life
Helped me find my Fitbit!
After trying multiple apps that claimed to help find Bluetooth devices this is the one that finally worked. I thought I had forgotten/ dropped my Fitbit somewhere but this app found it in my house!Anuj Gulati
Extremely useful
A family member lost their Xiaomi smart band and asked for assistance. Their phone was still getting the band’s Bluetooth signal but wasn’t saying how far away the band was. In comes the LightBlue app. It took a few minutes to find the band’s Bluetooth signal, but once it had, the band was easy to find. Many thanks, without this app we never would’ve found the smart band.Show lesss.500
A great app intended for TESTING, or DEVELOPMENT.
If you do not understand how Bluetooth can Bluetooth, this app may not be for you. Read: It’s not meant to find your lost left earbud.😏
It’s great however for testing, development, DIY, and learning. That’s what it’s made for, and it works.
The Punchthrough site also happened to be a awesome resource about Bluetooth, and I learned from it. Check it out.Show lessIts That End User Again
Saved me $250
I loaned my bike GPS to my teenager. He managed to knock it off his mountain bike. All we knew was that it was somewhere in a 3-mile segment of forest trail.
After riding the trail and looking for it unsuccessfully, in desperation I looked for an app that would look for Bluetooth signals.
I found LightBlue, loaded it up and re-rode that
3-mile segment of trail.
About 50’ from the GPS, the device showed up on the app. We jumped off our bikes, and used the app’s signal strength to triangulate. Finally, we found the $250 GPS unit hiding under a bush where we would have never, in a million years, found it otherwise.
Couldn’t be more thrilled with an app.Show lessAtOurGates
Wasn’t working
This app would never work for me to locate anything. Always said disconnected and always has to refresh. Overall I would say do not waste your time.Tony Stark6_7
Probably the best BLE utility app
Although this app doesn’t contain all the possible features, it’s probably the easiest to use and the best outlined app. This is my go to application when it comes to analyzing Bluetooth.ustommy
Does not work with dead devices
This app did not work unless you were on top of the item and I was trying to find my dead Fitbit. It did not work for me and I would only use it if your device is charged. I eventually found it but it took 1 hour to find. I would not recommend this app if your device you are looking for is dead.Flip Girl 111
