I like that it's open source, but sadly it doesn't find any beacons, even if they are visible in other apps.

amature coder with minimal knowledge best part of the app is http endpoint logging. i am able to write logs to google sheets via script api to monitor my beacons in proximity. and to send email alerts if one (e.g. my keys) is out of range. search for easy cloud data logging. the difficult part is to parse the json http post packet. i figured that out with string and array operations. will be a better app if it can log device location and run in the background.

Scan beacon properly, gives better measure of distance. Fast app. Keep upgrade useful features. Good coded in open source.

Fails to find any beacons at all in Android 10. Also white-on-white text when the OS is in dark mode makes it impossible to configure or troubleshoot anything.

With Bluetooth enabled, no results ever shows up on this app after a few minutes.

Looks a little confusing when updating beacon data, but seems to work well.

About this app

This app will scan for beacons near you! ✌️

For all Beacons:
* The type of beacon (iBeacon, AltBeacon, Eddystone or RuuviTag)
* The approximation of the distance with the beacon (this is based on the RSSI value received and is NOT accurate)
* The beacon address and manufacturer code
* The RSSI and TX values
* The last time the beacon has been seen

For iBeacons and AltBeacons:
* UUID
* Major
* Minor

For Eddystone-UID beacons:
* NamespaceID
* InstanceID
* TLM data sent if any

For Eddystone-URL and RuuviTag
* Clickable URL
* TLM data sent if any

For RuuviTag:
* Air Pressure
* Temperature
* Humidity

It can display several frames emitted by a single beacon, allowing you to see if a beacon emits multiple frames types (for example radius network beacons can emit iBeacon and AltBeacon at the same time)!

* You can also log the scans of the beacons to an endpoint via a HTTP POST request.

The code is open source and available here 🤓
