Very simple web browser that supports the key web bluetooth javascript APIs, with bookmarks and console log viewing support. *** Overview *** Using this app you can navigate to a site written in javascript that can interact with your bluetooth (low energy) devices. This allows you to write your applications for use with devices such as puck.js in a language you are more familiar with (i.e. javascript) and be able to use it from your iOS device. Use the built-in console viewer to debug issues when running your site on WebBLE. Security is important for bluetooth device access, and so only sites that use https are supported, and it is not possible to connect to a bluetooth device without permission being granted by the user. Initially the following key APIs are supported: - bluetooth.requestDevice() - bluetooth.getAvailability() - BluetoothDevice.gatt - BluetoothDevice.addEventListener('gattserverdisconnected', cb) - BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.connect() - BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.disconnect() - BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.getPrimaryService() - BluetoothRemoteGATTService.getCharacteristic() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValue() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithResponse() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithoutResponse() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.readValue() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.startNotifications() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.stopNotifications() - BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.addEventListener("characteristicvaluechanged", cb)

Tired of Lock Screen widgets that show you your battery (which is already right there) or the weather (you just looked outside)? LSST is the app that dares to do what others didn't: let you display mildly useful text on your Lock Screen. Add a phone number, some information, whatever — in not one, but two distinct text slots (because we still can't just span the entire screen). Features: - Displays static text. - On your Lock Screen. - Nothing strange.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LSST at Free against WebBLE's $1.99. WebBLE's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
