Bluetooth LE Scanner is a utility designed for scanning Low Energy Bluetooth devices. This free application for Android provides users with detailed information about nearby Bluetooth LE devices, showcasing its capabilities through an intuitive interface. Users can easily access Advertisement Records and maintain a running average of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) readings, which is essential for evaluating device proximity. The app also includes features to support iBeacons, such as a manufacturer data record parser and distance indicators that categorize devices as Near, Far, Immediate, or Unknown.
