Description

Discover nearby Bluetooth peripherals and inspect their services for information and characteristics. • View information and signal strength for all peripherals and devices, updating in real time as you move around. • Get battery level for your own Apple devices — no need to install the app on all your devices. • See model identification broadcast by devices around you, mapping the Apple device identifier to the marketing name. • Extract software and firmware version strings from devices broadcasting this information. • Read any characteristic's value, even for services not well known and are custom to the device being interrogated. • Write characteristic values back to the peripheral as string, numeric or hex (pro). • See a history of the value of a characteristic since the session started, timestamped to when the value changed (pro). • Log found peripherals, services, characteristics and values, and export a .log file of timestamped events for your analysis (pro). • Shortcuts integration with actions for scanning and interrogation, enumerating services and characteristics, and reading values (pro). Get support on Twitter @grgarside or georgegarside.com/apps/bluetooth-inspector Constant use of Bluetooth connectivity can drain your device's battery. Bluetooth connectivity is only used when this app is in the foreground and up to a few seconds after being backgrounded to safely disconnect from peripherals being interrogated.

  • Worth it, even if you don’t know why.

    I personally use it all the time, and it pretty fun to just run it in a crowded environment and see everything nearby, like, someone brought their BT speaker onto the plane I’m on. I don’t feel like writing a full review, but one last thing, I like the pro add on, I bought it and am not disappointed, although I don’t know how to use it.
  • Truly amazed!

    I’m not a review writer but I DO need to read them from time to time so this is my way of giving back. ☺️I’ve been looking for something like this in the app store. It’s so hard to know what/who to trust (hence the need for this app). So far it seems I got lucky with my first choice. I might upgrade because I’d like a log I don’t have to create… but the free version starts right up and is easy to understand.

  • What’s in a name?

    Love the app. Everything I wanted but the ability to apply a ‘friendly’ name to a device. Don’t need to use this often, but when I do it’s hard to remember what ‘name’ is what device so it creates a lot of ‘noise’ trying to isolate on a specific device. Would but it if it could do that, otherwise still looking.

    I really liked this application. It almost dumps data from nearby devices. Everything the description states it does - it really does but here are the application short comings….while the description states what’s the application can do and its features there is not full guide of the various data types that are being inspected. Next, is the map while you can zoom in/out - the level doesn’t stay and immediately zooms back out - pretty annoying especially when I’m in a small building or amongst a crowded area. No other gripes from but George - seriously: I can help you write a guide - If you’d like me to show you some of my work I can e mail you.

    Rarely ever will I submit a review. BUTTT had to for this app. Being the most (maybe the only) useful app I’ve ever downloaded. It does exactly as claims in description. You will not be disappointed. Best part payment is one and done! NO monthly subscription. Discover any & all devices around you connect to them without user permission. VERY HELPFUL & FUN! ❤️Love itttt ♥️
  • Annoying map bug

    I purchased this mainly because of the estimated location map view. However there is an annoying bug where I can’t zoom in nor out, if I pinch-zoom in, it works but as soon as I let go it takes me back to a default view where i can hardly see anything in terms of device numbers. Please fix.

    Not sure if this got updated or not but tried installing and it doesn’t work. Like the app can’t even start ask for permission and there no options for it then it saids change setting in app wich tells you you need to go to system settings and change security to allow it but when you click on it it take you to app settings and tells you go back to app to change settings an endless loop of not working

  • Buried Summary

    Of the several hundred available devices, summary information can only be gained by opening one device at a time. It is a fools task. Having a UUID filter alone would improve things.
