App crashes

I’ve used this app in the past to connect to my beacons with little or no difficulty. It was nice to be able to see remaining battery life and check for firmware updates. But now that my equipment is slightly older the app crashes whenever I try to connect to the beacons. Is this planned obsolescence?

Crash

L’app va in crash appena si cerca di accedere ad un beacon.

Useless

Crashing every time I find a beacon and tap on it.

Crashes when selecting beacon for configuration

It used to work very well. Now I need to reconfigure some of my beacons and I can't.

Absturz!!!

Beacons können nicht mehr aufgerufen werden!!🤬🤬

Please Update your APP

I can not use your APP. Every time I want to configure or update my Beacons the App crashes

Schon lange nicht mehr was es mal war

die app stürzt nur ab habe keine Möglichkeit mehr die beacons zu bearbeiten da es über die cloud auch nicht geht

Closes when accessing a beacon

This application closes as soon as you select a beacon.

Doesn’t work anymore

With your latest version, we can’t change any information on beacons. The app indicates that I’m not the owner...

Rigged

Estimote has purposely made this app terrible to force their customers to pay $500 a month for their cloud service. Shame.

It doesn’t work

I give 2 not 1, because sometimes I can find my beacons in configuration

It won't work

The beacons won’t show up or locked to someone else account

Very unstable

Application on iOS 11 is very unstable so it’s hard to use it. Till it will be repaired I am giving only 2 stars.

Major problems in the latest version

The latest version broke everything. It is now impossible to change settings on beacons via this app. Every beacon is listed as out of range. The transfer ownership button is also gone.

Pas de détection

L appli ne détecte aucun beacon, hormis le beacon virtuel de l app.

BUG Depuis la mise à jour

Depuis la mise à jour c'est n'importe quoi, la détection ne fonctionne plus il trouve des beacons qui n'existe pas ?!

Beacon scanning flakey/firmware updates worse then before

Beacons with the default settings show up and disappear randomly, and now the firmware version field just spins and spins without reporting anything. So unreliable as to be frustrating and generally useless.

Great Product, Functional App

I'm a big fan of the Estimote's Bluetooth LE (BTLE) beacons, and in particular the ability to easily manage them via the cloud.

The app is really optimized to be an introduction to that experience, and includes demos for indoor mapping, general proximity, and nearby notifications, as well as links to buy beacons. It's an easy way to get started without writing any code, and helps build intuition and generate ideas about how beacons can be used. For this, the app is quite useful.

That said, once you've become familiar with the beacons, however, you're going to spend most of your time in the device management section. And while that aspect of the app is functional, it is also limited. Some settings on the Estimote devices MUST be set via the Estimote Cloud, while other features can ONLY be set via the app itself. Further, the app doesn't proactively monitor for updates from Estimote Cloud and prompt the user to update the beacons, nor is it entirely clear what the synchronization status is; especially for new users, this process can be a bit confusing.

Ultimately, my preference would be for Estimate to publish two apps: One for introducing new customers the concepts, and then another that's focused exclusively on managing beacons. And then, ideally, I'd like to see better feature parity and integration with Estimote Cloud, so that the app isn't just a necessary in-between, but a seamless piece of glue to tie together the infrastructure.

And, finally, it'd be really nice if Estimote made their app compatible with the iPad, as that would be more convenient for large-scale management. (As is, the iPhone app can run on the iPad, but it's obviously not taking full advantage of the available screen real estate.)

Do not upgrade.

On both my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro, running iOS 10.01 the application is unable to detect my beacons inches away. I have logged out, uninstalled/reinstalled, toggled location permissions, etc. Nothing is working.

Good thing I don't have hundreds of beacons to configure.

Cada vez más mal

No actualiza los nombres de los beacons verdes , la geolocalizacion no es exacta te la da por país, ya no detecta los beacons verdes en el radar solo los white etc
