Read full description

The RNF Beacon Toolkit is a simple app that allows your compatible iOS device to become ​a Bluetooth Low Energy (iBeacon compatible) broadcaster and scanner. You can quickly and simply automatically generate beacons ​or manually create beacons with the aid of QR codes. You can do region monitoring and ranging as well as advertise your beacons ​using custom UUID, Major and Minor identifiers​. And, if you’re new to the technology, we’ve included a simple Beacon Guide which tells you everything you need to know. This app requires an iOS device with Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth v4.0).
