What's New in RadBeacon

2.5.0

October 26, 2023

Support for latest iOS versions, dark mode and RadBeacon USB v2.7 beacons.

User reviews

It does what it is suppose to do.

It has two flaws:

1. It does not check that iPhone's Bluetooth receiver is on, and if it is off, it seems the app is broken.

2. Once a beacon is updated, it needs to be disconnected and connected before the app can modify it again, otherwise the app shows "connection timeout" errors.

does not work with DOT at all

bought 2 dev kit and 10 DOT… cannot configure DOTs at all as this app does not recorgnize them.

Easy to Setup

I have Roomie Remote and wanted room proximity to switch rooms as I entered. Took all of 10 minutes to set up the rooms. This iBeacon has some hidden potential for many applications.

I went with RadBeacon USB beacons.

Crash very often

I bought several beacons at my home and try to configure all of them. But the program crash very often, and also sometimes it cannot communicate to some particular beacons.

Works great

I don't see the issues the other reviewer had commented on. The application works as intended per the described use case.
