Description

LightBlue® can connect you to all of your devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart, or Bluetooth Light). With LightBlue®, you can scan, connect to and browse any nearby BLE device.

Full support of read, write, and notify is included to ease BLE firmware development efforts. You can also view the signal strength (RSSI) in real time to get an idea of how close you are to the BLE device, handy for finding lost Fitbits or other BLE devices!

The log feature allows you to keep track of all significant BLE events that occur while using the app (e.g., device discovery, connection, reading, writing).

Use LightBlue® to test your new BLE Heart Rate Monitor, temperature sensor, 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 for any BLE peripherals
- See basic device info (name, MAC address, RSSI) at a glance
- Browse characteristics and services
- Register for notifications
- Read characteristics
- Write to characteristics in hex or UTF-8 string format
- Thoroughly log BLE events and share them in plain text format

A note on location access: if your Android device is running Android M (6.0) and above, you'll need to grant the app fine location access in order for the OS to surface BLE scan results to the app. This is an Android SDK requirement—we do not use your location for anything, not even while the app is in the foreground.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Excellent for Bluetooth development, and learning! Not for clueless app tappers lol
3 ★Cool app I can see how it can be useful.
5 ★Good little app lets me examine and set gatt characteristics, which I need. Saved me having to mess with code. Thanks guys!
5 ★International
5 ★Long time supporter of this app, there is a bug when you try to paste a hex string and the write button stays grayed out, and you need to use key board to delete a character and then add it back it before the write button is enabled to press
4 ★A small issue was introduced in the recent versions where filtering by rssi, it only grays out peripherals on the list instead of not showing them unless I refresh. it's a minor inconvenience for me and I'm not sure if it's intentional. Other than that it works great for my purposes.
1 ★Unable to write any value to characteristics
4 ★The latest update brings now UI changes, which are absolutely awesome. Thanks guys! One thing it broke is after authentication, it doesn't continue and list the available characteristics, and just waits with the connecting dialog open. I have to cancel and reconnect again in LightBlue app to my BLE device. This just started happening after the update, earlier version didn't had this, as I'm using the app daily.
1 ★fake app
5 ★Works. Thank you.
