Pretty much useless

If it gave you MAC or IP address it could be helpful. DO NOT BUY

Doesn’t work

I’m an experienced Bluetooth and iOS developer and was intrigued by this app. Unfortunately the basic functionality doesn’t work, as multiple Eve and Onvis devices are reported as not HK. I understand the developer has to work within Apple’s constraints but you can’t advertise your app does something and then use said restrictions as an excuse, especially when it’s paid.

I’m not so sure about this app

You add devices that are HomeKit and save them then they disappear. Add a HomePod is NOT a HomeKit device? HOMEpod. What part of HomeKit does it need?

Not what you want

You can stand right next to the device and still have poor signal strength reported. I don’t believe the readings at all. As other have noted it just shows every BLE device you have, which is probably way more then you know. Sorting out the HK devices is difficult, but doable. But again, I don’t trust the meter readings at all!

Irgendwie nicht wirklich brauchbar,

wenn von 20 Geräten 15 „No Name“ als Namen haben. Woher soll man dann wissen um welches Gerät es sich handelt? Ich will mein Geld zurück!

Response from developer

Hi, not all HomeKit devices broadcast their Bluetooth names the same as they do to HomeKit, this causes the name matching algorithm to fail.
