BLE Sniffer vs Coddiq
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
BLE Sniffer
This app transforms your iPhone into a passive Bluetooth Low Energy scanner. It reveals nearby BLE devices, logs their advertisements, and offers a proximity radar to estimate distance, all without establishing a connection.
- Live BLE device scanning
- Device categorization with vendor lookup
- Proximity radar and Geiger mode
- Session saving and baseline comparison
- Full CSV export of scan data
- Optional GATT service inspection

BLE Sniffer turns your iPhone into a passive Bluetooth Low Energy scanner. See the BLE devices broadcasting around you, log what they're advertising, and use a proximity radar to gauge how close they are — all without connecting to anything. Think of it as a "sniff raw" mode for the Bluetooth Low Energy spectrum: capture the advertisements in the air, filter nothing, analyze offline. Whether you're mapping the BLE devices in your own home, auditing your gear, or reverse-engineering your own hardware, BLE Sniffer shows you what's broadcasting nearby. WHAT IT DOES Live device scanning See a real-time list of the nearby BLE devices that are advertising — name, identifier, signal strength (RSSI), manufacturer, service UUIDs, advertisement count, and first/last-seen times. Sort by signal, activity, name, or recency. Device categorization (heuristic) A built-in lookup of the complete Bluetooth SIG manufacturer registry — 4,000+ vendor IDs — plus vendor and name heuristics attaches a visual badge to some devices to help you triage a long list — for example dev boards, smart-home gear, and devices whose manufacturer ID or advertised name matches known camera vendors. These are best-effort guesses based on what a device broadcasts, not confirmed identifications. Proximity radar & "Geiger" mode A radar view plots advertising devices on concentric rings by signal strength. Pick one device and switch to single-device mode: a big live RSSI readout with color-coded background plus audio and haptic feedback that speeds up as the signal gets stronger — walk around and home in on it like a metal detector. Sessions & baseline diffing Save a scan as a named session. Capture a baseline in one location, scan another, and diff the two — see which advertising devices appear in the new scan but not the baseline. A quick way to narrow a long list down to what changed. Full CSV export Export any session or live scan as CSV — one row per advertisement, with timestamps, identifiers, RSSI, manufacturer IDs, service UUIDs, TX power, and raw advertisement bytes. Share it anywhere via the system share sheet for offline analysis. Optional device inspection For devices you own, opt in to connect and browse the GATT service tree — read manufacturer, model, and firmware info and explore characteristics. Connections are always explicit and per-device; the app never auto-connects. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN • Passive by default — it listens, it doesn't transmit or pair • No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions • No telemetry, no accounts, no cloud — your data stays on your device • Everything is logged locally and exported only when you choose GREAT FOR • Mapping and auditing the BLE devices broadcasting in your own home or office • Hardware hackers, makers, and security researchers • Anyone curious about the invisible radio traffic around them PERMISSIONS BLE Sniffer asks only for Bluetooth access, which it uses to listen for nearby device advertisements. It does not pair, transmit, or request your location. Each device appears under an app-scoped identifier assigned by iOS — no hardware addresses are exposed. NOTE BLE Sniffer is a passive observation tool for the Bluetooth Low Energy spectrum. It detects Bluetooth Low Energy advertisements only — it is not a hidden-camera or surveillance detector and cannot find devices that don't broadcast BLE (including many cameras, and anything using Bluetooth Classic, Wi-Fi, or cellular). RSSI indicates rough proximity (distance), not direction, and device categories are heuristic guesses, not guarantees. Please use it responsibly and legally.

Who's really on your Wi-Fi? Coddiq Network Scanner shows you every device connected to your network — instantly, privately, and completely free. A clean, no-nonsense toolkit with four essential tools. No account. No ads. Nothing ever leaves your phone. SEE EVERY DEVICE Scan your Wi-Fi and get a live list of everything connected — phones, laptops, TVs, printers, game consoles and smart-home gadgets. Each device shows its IP address, network name, and a best-effort guess of what it is. Notice a device you don't recognize? Now you'll know it's there. CHECK OPEN PORTS Pick any device and scan its open TCP ports to see which services it's exposing — a fast way to understand what's running on your network. Choose a common set, the top 100, or enter your own custom range. PING ANYTHING Measure latency to any host with live round-trip times, a real-time graph, and min / avg / max plus packet loss. Great for tracking down a laggy connection or a flaky device. TEST YOUR SPEED Run an honest download and upload speed test with latency, measured against a public test server. A steady, duration-based result — not a number that flashes by in a second. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device — we never collect your scan results. No sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Free to use. Coddiq is honest about its limits: results are estimates and can vary by device, network, and server, and it's a diagnostic tool not a security product. Please only scan networks and devices you own or are authorized to test. Coddiq Network Scanner is the first in a growing series of focused, trustworthy network utilities.

Verdict
BLE Sniffer and Coddiq are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
