### 5/5 — Provides reliable functionality

*2016-06-23, version 1.4.1*

This app was worth it.  If you need a reliable BT LE debugging application, this is exceptional.  It does not support writing hex values however.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2015-04-23, version 1.3*

This is nothing! Does nothing! Took my money!!! This app is a complete and total absolute SCAM! I should have known. My fault for trusting Apple to watch out for the customer. SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!

### 1/5 — Mr.

*2015-01-02, version 1.2*

Pretty worthless. Didn’t detect any nearby known bluetooth devices, let alone the lost one I was searching for

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2014-01-14, version 1.0*

Does not display any devices. Wish I could ask for money back.
