Locate Beacon

I used this in a Hacking With Swift tutorial. It works just as it should! The UI is a bit out of date, but it’s still functional.

Why has support for iPhone 5 been dropped? When attempting to update, getting "is not compatible with this iPhone" error.

App crashing on iPhone 15 pro max running iOS 17.2

I am unable to see iBeacons when scanning. I tested advertising from another iPhone with the same Locate app and from the RadBeacon E4 with no luck. Tried with iPhone XS and 11 Pro Max.

The android version of this app is exactly what I wanted. Sadly, the iOS version is extremely lacking. Android version: lists all beacons advertising in range. iOS version: add beacon info under settings to locate.

Like what purpose does it serve?

It is impossible to save and then re-broadcast a beacon. Instead the UUID must be entered *each time* the app is opened. This app is useless for beacon cloning or broadcasting.

Very helpful app if you even half understand what it’s for. It’s a shame there are negative reviews by some obviously ignorant people

This app is not user friendly amd a ridiculous waste of time fiddling with it. It does not work .

Saw the previous review and thought it would be a good idea to review this myself. This is a useful app for developers who want to test iBeacons. I used it and it works. It's a lot easier and cheaper to simulate beacons with this than it would be to order some. I guess it might be neat to use at a store since it can scan anything so you could find random beacons intended for specific apps. Overall it works, UI isn't great but it's at least useful.
