5 ★ Superb utility, I'm just getting into BLE scanning and tinkering.
1 ★ What's "calibration" mean?
4 ★ I tried this app using two Pixel phones (one is a XL). The Pixel XL had no problem detecting the beacon signals from the Pixel phone but the reverse did not work. I tried enabling one and many beacons on both phones and tried restarting and anything else I could think of. The really strange part is that at one moment the Pixel phone detected a singel beacon signal from the Pixel XL right after I tried to restart the Pixel phone.
3 ★ Why does the app need ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION? Coarse/approximate location permission should be enough for BLE scanning?
5 ★ Amazing tool to check beacons emmited by Covid contact tracing apps!
