4th Sept 2024 Rev 425 for Android 8+, fixed suppression of {@} and supports BLE packet size upto 5175th Aug 2023 Android 10 -- Exception in CronetUrlRequest
The latest update to Android 10 sometimes locks up pfodApp (and the rest of the phone) on the first connection. This appears to be Google's problem and pfodApp works on subsequent starts.

Appears to be Google's problem https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/246828858
There are two free companion app,

Notes about Location permission usage on Android V12+
pfodApp does not and never has used or stored or sent any location information. However prior to Android V12, Google insisted on pfodApp requesting Location permission in order to make Bluetooth connections.
On Android 12+ it is possible to avoid asking for the Location permission since pfodApp does not actually use , store or send any location information. However pfodApp still runs mobiles back to Android V4.4 and currently does not take advantage of that aspect of Android V12. So for now on Android V12+ allow Location permission "While using the app" . NOTE: Do not choose "Only this time" because pfodApp only checks for permissions on start up not every time it is needed. So choosing "Only this time" will cause pfodApp to fail at some later time.
Since pfodApp runs on old Android mobiles, V8+, you can re-purpose your old mobile as a dedicated controller/user interface for your projects.
BLE connections. If pfodApp is having trouble re-connecting to your BLE device, use the nRF Connect app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp
to connect first.
NOTE: None of these screens are built into pfodApp. They are all created by compact text messages from your Arduino or other micro. The contents of each screen shot here, including the language, is completely controlled by the microprocessor that pfodApp is connecting to.
See the Installation Guide: https://www.forward.com.au/pfod/Android_pfodApp/pfodAppForAndroidGettingStarted.pdf for detail on what permissions are used.
pfodApp connects to Adafruit Bluefruit Feather52, Arduino101, BBC micro:bit, other BLE modules including RFduino, Itead BLE Shield (HM_10 modules), Bluefruit LE Flora and UART Friend, Bluefruit LE SPI, RedBearLab BLE Shield, ESP8266 modules, Classic Bluetooth e.g. Itead Bluetooth Shield, SIM900 GPRS SMS shields, Adafruit Feather
WICED, Arduino Ethernet shield, and others pfod (Protocol For Operations Discovery)
It also has menu and image caching as well as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support in addition to SMS,WiFi and Bluetooth V2. Colour and text formatting as well as sliders and data logging and plotting, are available so you can easily capture and display those measurements on your android, and with 128 bit security so you can control you devices over the internet easily and safely.
Use the pfodDesignerV2 to design your own Android menus to control Arduino outputs. NO Android Programming required.
The pfodApp does all of the Android stuff for you and remembers the menu hierarchy.
This pfodApp has intentional limitations in functionality and the software will have unintentional coding errors. It must NOT be used in any situation where there is any risk of personal injury or damage to property.

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.

5 ★Update appears that Matthew has fixed the problem but I don't have the car anymore to test it........ used to work good now with the latest update it won't stay connected for more than 5 seconds loses connection with Bluetooth....NEW ... I haven't used this app in years because it was no need. Everything worked fine. Now I cannot connect Bluetooth or anything with my knightrider lights. Does anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Nothing seems to work. I can't connect. nothing. Thank you
5 ★This is a terrific app platform from a trusted designer which i have used for a real time physiological sensor app with Bluetooth BLE. Provides a fast real time graphing function on a number of Android versions. Impressed..
5 ★steep initial learning curve, but developer provides lightning fast support. Exactly what I was looking for for a data-logger project.
5 ★Works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy S22 (& did on my old S8). Menu building is easy and intuitive with the designer, and the code it generates is both complete and fully works as produced, and can easily be tinkered about with or expanded to suit personal preferences. Support from the Developer is superb (comprehensive and quick!), and he continues to add new capabilities all the time. Fantastic value, and worth every penny – it simply does what it says on the tin…What’s not to like?
5 ★A real time saver for generating a connection between embedded devices and an Adroid phone. This app is well documented, easy to implement and self generates code that operates flawlessly from Android phone. Finally, the author is beyond helpful when assistsnce is needed.
2 ★This did not work for me using pixal 3a/android10 and adafruit bluefruit le shield. Shield pairs with device but fails to connect with pfodApp. Connects to Adafruit app with no issue. Great idea if I could get it to work.
5 ★Works flawlessly on bluetooth and tcp/ip. Thank you
5 ★excellent and exceptional app for high rate data recording and viewing
5 ★The ultimate app for data visualization and logging through the popular arduino boards. Used it for analog sensing via bluetooth and Wifi and was impressed with the performance overall. The app support is great and the developers get back to your queries very quickly which is very impressive. Overall, a highly recommended platform for arduino applications.
5 ★i lov this app. I've using it for 5 years with my knight rider lights. Great support from the developer too.
