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).

    Version 1.1.5

    This app does the most thorough scan for devices that Bluetooth detects. I have used many other tools in the past and none were able to detect much; however, this app was initially able to detect 30 devices, showing the signal strength of each and even revealing Core Errors and more. I plan to purchase the pro version to see those features but I haven’t yet because first I want to learn about what the definitions are and to find out if I’m seeing what I should expect to see on my scan. I feel that this is where the app falls short. I also know it wouldn’t be too difficult to provide the user with some definitions and screen examples…even some resource links would be useful. Besides that, great app!

    Version 1.7.2

    service

    I have over 30 Govee temperature sensors. I name them by the location I put them in. Well I lost track of one sensor because it got switched with another sensor when I was changing the batteries. Then that lost sensor started showing a humidity level of 75%. So I needed to find that sensors location. I removed the batteries from all the Govee devices I could and then launched BT Inspector. It did not take long to figure out which BT device was my lost sensor. I started walking around watching the BT signal increase and decrease. Walking towards the stronger signal location I got within 6 feet of the sensor. At that point I remembered where I had placed a sensor. I was able to find the high humidity and deal with it. Using the BT Inspector I have been able to get within 6 feet of a device. At that point the signal stops changing enough to narrow the device location down any further.

    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.
