App Description

Bluetooth Smart Scanner (BLEScan) is a professional Bluetooth LE developer scanner tool. It works with Bluetooth Smart, Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) or Bluetooth 4.0 devices only. It does not work with a bluetooth 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0 device.

This tool is made for professional developers or hobbyists who need a Bluetooth LE scanner to scan, retrieve and inspect their Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth 4.0 devices.

You may use this tool to assist you in development of a Bluetooth LE profile or protocol on a Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth 4.0 device. Typically, you would need a Windows PC to scan, retrieve and inspect a Bluetooth Profile or Protocol. No more. Now you don't need a Windows PC to inspect your Bluetooth 4.0 profile or protocol. Use this app tool to scan, retrieve and inspect your custom Bluetooth LE profile or protocol.

This app provides the following information of any Bluetooth LE device.

- All Bluetooth Smart, LE or 4.0 Profiles.
- All Bluetooth Smart, LE or 4.0 Servies.
- All Bluetooth Smart, LE or 4.0 Characteristics.
- All Bluetooth Smart, LE or 4.0 Descriptors.
