What's New

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

* App has now been updated to _fully_ support Eddystone Beacons
* Eddystone beacons (like our own) that broadcast battery telemetry frames will now show battery voltage in view

App Description

Particle Detector turns your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad into wireless, Bluetooth Low Energy scanner that may be used to find iBeacon™ and Eddystone beacons. Once discovered by UUID, Particle Detector displays Major ID, Minor ID, Signal Strength, and timestamp for last moment of discovery. New UUID filters may be added for quick discovery.

Eddystone beacons in the display will show signal strength, calibrated Tx power, broadcast URL, and battery life (if supported by the beacon).

Designed exclusively for iOS7 or greater, this app allows your iOS device to discover other iOS devices acting as iBeacon™ or custom hardware devices that support iBeacon™, including those available for purchase on our website.

NOTE: Particle Detector will continue to log iBeacon ranging information, even while backgrounded. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

"iBeacon" is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
