Bluetooth Inspector Reviews

Finds Nothing

WookerOne on

Canada

I gave the app the permissions it asked for and verified them but it finds zero devices in a household full of them. Maybe an iOS 18 bug?

Nice tool

I found my earbud outside with the app.

Makes no sense

Just gives a giant list of constantly shifting devices making it impossible to select one. Anything that you couldn’t track using Find My shows up as unknown so pretty useless. One you go into the map it give you a bunch of numbered dots with no indication what the numbers represent. You then can close the map. You are to close the app, reopen and start over. Waste of money

Mixed feelings

The App listed all kinds of BT services from my neighbours' TVs and soundbars, but did not find the BT speaker in my office, that was in Pairing mode.

Been using this app for years. It used to pick up only 30-60 signals on a busy Tokyo subway car pre-2020 and was quite responsive, but post 2020 I’ll get mid 100s to low 1000s in a 60 second scan (1000-1800%+ number of signals in only a few years), but the app will now completely slow down, almost to the point that my iPad will freeze up. Is there any way to boost performance without buying a new iPad?

Fast, detailed, and useful

That said, doesn't always pick up all device info. Some peripherals (such as Apple track pads) don't show up, or only show up as device string numbers - can't tell. Could it interrogate the OS for more info? That may be up to Apple to allow or not. An option to sort by name would be handy.

Slow and Naggy

Slow. Doesn't show all the info for the BT devices and asks for a rating avery 3 minutes.

Needs tp be update

Guesss What on

United States

Constant crashing on Sequoia, no updates in a year, is this a dead app?

Very Useful | Android when?

JamesBond007? on

Love the app, hope it stays the same, and same for the one time payment. But I would like the app to also be available on Android which can even make the app more powerful and useful.

Something is wrong

cartoon lunatic on

United States

I know I can’t expect much on iPhone side, but I do expect it to be functional in some way. I have purchased the pro version, but it doesn’t seem to have improved things. It might just be the area that I live in. I hit scan, and I get about 80-100 devices listed as Unknown in an unknown area around me. Even interrogating everything, does not update the screen, but I get requests from all my neighbors iPhones and iPads to connect to my phone. What it does not do is find or connect to my Bluetooth speaker sitting 5 feet away. This is not useful. It seems that I don’t have all of the controls or the ability to go further into the app. Or access to support. The map would be useful if I could zoom in closer than a 1000 square feet so all I see is my location buried under a cluster of unknown devices. I don’t know what it would look like on other devices but if this is it for the iPhone then I am just not impressed. Sorry, but I really did want it to succeed because I need the information it promised and all I got was glitch.
