User Reviews for LightBlue®

Excellent

I lost my fitbit and I found it with this even though the battery was SO low! This is free, no need to pay for the other types. You will see a list of Bluetooth devices it finds when you open it. Find the Alta or whatever you are looking for in the list. On the left there are some bars that will turn blue as you get closer - the more bars, the closer you are. I also used my fitbit app and saw which room it synced quickly with. Then I walked around the room and saw where the signal was strongest by number of blue bars. My fitbit had attached itself to a hanger in my closet - had totally given up on it as the battery was dead but gave it one more shot and found it - good luck!

Awesome!!!

I just discovered that I misplaced my Fitbit. I am sure it is in the house and looked everywhere but couldn’t find it until I came across this app while searching for solution online. I simply downloaded this app, my Fitbit was listed but out of the Bluetooth range. So I kept walking around the house while trying to connect it. Within 5 mins it indicated the Fitbit was nearby and there it is! Found it in my laundry basket! Thank you!!

It worked!

I don’t leave reviews for apps but I feel strongly for this one because it actually worked. My fitbit was in our house - I know it because it synced but I couldn’t find it. I found this app when I was looking for ways to find my fitbit. Not only did I not pay for it but it actually helped me find my versa. So once you know what the numbers mean (the lower the number the nearer you are to your device), then you are on your way to finding your lost fitbit.

Found my Oura ring

I lost my Oura ring and tried many blue tooth location apps: BLE Hero, Bluetooth BLE Device Finder, BLE Scanner, Find My Lost Bluetooth Device, Wunderfind, and Find My Device, but none could find it. After a neighbor eventually found the ring, I tried all of these apps next to the ring, and they still couldn’t detect it. I assume it’s because the ring emits a very low powered bluetooth signal. However, LightBlue can successfully find the ring, up to 10 feet away in my tests. I’d give five stars if the app had the ability to manual name (and remember) unnamed devices.

Great Tool!

Thanks for adding the ability to explore connected devices!I especially like the hex keypad to enter data when sending to peripherals. Nordic’s nRF Connect and others just give you the keyboard! It is so annoying to switch back and forth between numbers key and letters for A-F.Now, if a device you are using becomes disconnected please consider added the ability to reconnect without having to backtrack to scanning and selecting the device. My case is like this. I’m sending data to a device and, thanks to your wonderful app, the recent data I sent is stored within the characteristic that I sent the data on. But when the device disconnects I have to go back to the scan screen, reconnect, and enter the data into the app over again. In my case I know when the device is advertising or connectable.

O.M.G. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

I’ve spent half the day tearing my house apart, thinking I was going crazy...remembering having my Fitbit in my hand this morning...and not being able to find it anywhere after making a cup of coffee. I even began wondering if the neighborhood squirrel, who comes for hand-fed peanuts every morning, had come into the house while my back was turned, and somehow stolen it. Finally, a link on a help website took me to your App, and less than 10 minutes after downloading, the highlighted bars narrowed down the room and the Fitbit where I had apparently placed it while in the middle of a “senior moment”. Amazing! And again, THANK YOU!

So happy!

This app totally works! I never write reviews BUT had to for this one. I’ve been going nuts looking for my Fitbit for days! I had just bought a cute new band for it! I knew it was in my house because it was syncing with the app. Found this app (after almost paying $6 for a different one) and sure enough, my Fitbit along with my iPad and some various devices with no name came up! I started walking around my house and little blue bars started popping up and down next to the Charge 2. Still couldn’t locate it and gave up last night, still going crazy! Got up this morning and started the app up again and the bars came up again. I finally went out and looked in my car again and all of the bars lit up. Warmer, warmer, and bam, SCORE! I found it. Thank you!

Find your lost Bluetooth device

I lost a $300 bluetooth peripheral and had no idea where it went. At first I thought this app wasn’t working because it was directing me to the back of my closet which made no sense. Turns out the thing had gotten tangled up in the Velcro on a duffel bag and was, in fact, on the floor in the back of my closet. I would have never found it again without this app. Five stars.

Awesome!!!!

Had lost my Fitbit Alta. Looked everywhere. Had been lost for 3-4 days. Contacted Fitbit and got some vague help. Did have a link to this app. Downloaded it and immediately it caught trace of my Alta. I’m walking around the Yard, porches, bedrooms etc. can’t find it. I kept getting a reading near the laundry room but couldn’t find it. After realizing the more blue bars, the closer you are to it. Went back to the laundry room, getting a stronger signal. Raised the lid to the washing machine, STRONGER signal, BAM, there it was, washed in a pair of running shorts. Awesome!!!! Thank you so much.

Complete Awesomeness.

I somehow misplaced my fitbit yesterday. I thought I'd have to buy another one after buying cute extra bands for it... I couldn't quite remember what I had done with it. Lost my previous fitbit somewhere in a very large park last year while running my dogs and was chastising myself for having lost my second, yet again. I searched and searched multiple times EVERYWHERE and for a few hours total, to absolutely no avail... Downloaded this app at roomie's suggestion and OMG-voila. This thing literally led me to my Marie Condo method-temporary mess of a room (cleaning out the closet so piles and piles of clothes everywhere) down to the specific area where the proximity bars were highest and upon searching around there, I actually found my strapless fitbit (had removed the straps to wash and must have dropped the watchface which buried itself into a little pocket within a pile! And I thought I had combed through the clothes. Drove me nuts. TYTYTY to my roomie for the suggest but most importantly to the developer(s) for creating this extremely useful app!! 💋🙏🏻👌

Description

LightBlue® can connect you to all of your devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart, or Bluetooth Light). LightBlue® has two modes, central and peripheral. In central mode, you can scan for and connect to all BLE devices around you.

Once connected, you have a detailed view of all the device's profiles, from which you can read and write to characteristics and subscribe to notifications. To enter BLE peripheral mode, navigate to the "Virtual Devices" tab and tap on the "+" icon to create a virtual device. When the blue checkmark is checked for a device, your iOS device is advertising as that particular BLE peripheral. LightBlue® allows you to customize the services and characteristics of any virtual peripheral profile. You can also clone any peripheral you connect to in central mode and save that profile to your list of virtual peripherals—simply connect to a device and tap on the "Clone" button on the top right of the screen. Full support of read, write, and notify is included. You can view the signal strength (RSSI) to get an idea of how close you are to the peripheral. The log tab allows you to keep track of all significant BLE events that occur while using the app (e.g., device discovery, connection, reading, writing), and you can share the content of the log. Use LightBlue® to test your new BLE Heart Rate Monitor, temperature sensor, Microchip AVR-BLE and PIC-BLE development boards, TI CC2540 Keyfob, Nordic uBlue, Panasonic PAN1720, etc. LightBlue® is also ideal for developers wanting to test the firmware of their own BLE peripherals. Key features: - Scan and discover Bluetooth peripherals in the vicinity - See basic device info (UUID, RSSI) - Browse services and characteristics - Register for notifications and indications - Send data from notifications and indications to AWS IoT or Adafruit IO via our Cloud Connect feature - Read values from characteristics - Write to characteristics in Hex, Oct, Bin, Decimal or ASCII - Clone peripheral profiles - Choose from an array of common, preconfigured peripheral profiles - Advertise as a peripheral using custom profiles - Thoroughly log and share BLE events - Custom UI and extended support for connecting to Microchip AVR-BLE and PIC-BLE development boards
