I-phone control for Arduino works easily
Of the many ble applications I have tried, this one is the clear winner: It works easily, had good web support and allows to plot sensor data and save as csv while also allowing to control the boards inputs. Used Hm10 and uno but needed to fiddle a bit ti understand some basics of serial communication. Could do with one more basic example.

Outstanding App
Great app for using BLE with an Arduino. Good function set allowing direct control of I/O channels, messaging back and forth through a console, and the ability to download data from the arduino, plot it, and email it as a text file. Great customer support!
Worked for one day
It opens but crashes when I try to do anything with it. $4 wasted.
Response from developer
Sorry to hear about the trouble. This may be a permissions issue that we often see. Please email us and we can help fix the issue you are experiencing.
FINALLY
An app that has Bluetooth Arduino capabilities! Make sure to add your email in the mail app to receive data. Support team was an amazing help for any issues.
Don’t buy
No custom functionality. Everything that’s built into the app works. However, so does every other free app on the market. Don’t waste your money like I did.
Response from developer
Any constructive criticism in relation to your review would be helpful in improving the app and its functionality.
Great app for serial logging
After trying out several different BLE apps I was finally able to view and log serial data from my arduino. Easily saves the data to a csv file and sends to an email address. Perfect and easy. Great technical support as well! Highly recommend.
Fantastic functionality and better support
All around great experience using this app. Seamlessly integrated with a variety of Bluetooth platforms I used and the team was extremely helpful in assisting with any issue
Graphing issues
App is alright, using it for something non-Arduino related. Following all Arduino formatting, I cannot get the graph to show data. It immediately crashes when I select data tab. Terminal shows data correctly.
Response from developer
Hello, this is a common issue associated with not enabling location services. Attempt the following to fix this issue: exit the app, delete it from your phone, reinstall it, and make sure to allow location services when requested. The app requires location services for the graphing section in order to attach latitude/longitude coordinates to each data point (for geographic data mapping).
BLExAR app
Unlike other apps this app worked first time and every time without fail. Well done.
Does what it advertises with great support
I have downloaded 5+ other apps but they all are geared toward controlling Arduino with iPhone not sending sensor data TO iPhone . Had a few initial issues (self inflicted) but support staff responded within minutes to my questions and I was graphing sensor data immediately thereafter.
Great app, great support
I have a system that I’m building around the Arduino UNO and need to make changes to the PWM outputs to evaluate the rest of my system. My first plan was to write a sketch that had a set PWM output, but going back to make changes to the code, reload it, and run it again was going to be tedious.
Then I discovered this app and a way to change the outputs dynamically by connecting to a BLE device attached to the UNO board. Unfortunately, the first BLE board I bought was defective and the author walked me through the troubleshooting steps to confirm the board was dead and that there wasn’t a problem with the app. They are responsive, helpful, and the app does just what’s promised.

Great app!
Works exactly as advertised. Very helpful for fast and easy control from iPhone. Would defiantly recommend!
