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).

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.

Version 1.7.2
DeviceHate itLocationSpendingThis is a useless app as is … when you pay for the app, you really get nothing …. GPS info is collected but not displayed in Session dump, You cannot rename/customized BT entry, no user document, the developer has no easy way to feedback to him …. Things to add and improve: 1) Allow changing the name of a BT device to indicate what it is (ex: Bill iPhone, John TV, etc) - Store that info so when it seen again, you know. 2) Add the GPS position to each device in the Session dump file 3) Allow blocking or non-display of known BT device(s) (ex: do not display your personal devices, just everybody else, etc) 4) Add link to developer feedback for the app 5) Provide and allow adding a picture for device (ex: if it a phone, use a icon for a phone, if a printer, icon for a printer you can add) 6) Store all this data on phone and cloud where ever so it inly entered once. Thank you

Version 1.7.1
AudioCustomer ServiceLove itEvery other BLE app feels half finished / not suitable for anything outside of development. This supports Automation, meaning it supports reading and writing values with voice commands. It’s not even fair how much better that fact alone makes Bluetooth Inspector if you are a maker and want to control any BLE device with your phone.
