3 ★ Hasn't managed to find any cafes yet let alone bacon! Does it definitely work?
1 ★ So, I get it, but what a huge battery hog. There are similar apps that scan less, or something, can be killed, or just used manually as needed. This literally cut my battery life in half just running in the background.
4 ★ update: got it working better now; app has to be in background to generate action. still a few bugs such as open url and get location both dont work. also actions can take up to 90 seconds to trigger. too slow. but overall a good start! original review: great idea and interface but not working for me. i received one out of zone notification about 5 mins after shutting off a beacon, which is far too slow. plus i could never get another notification again.
1 ★ Found the beacon only once, allowing me to set up actions, but then stopped detecting it completely. The radar finds he beacon once every 10 or 12 times, but the scan never does. Never worked automatically in foreground or background. I was really excited when I found the app, because it is exactly what I needed... only if it worked.
2 ★ It is crashing on selecting any beacon. Tested on Android 4.4, Android 5, Android 6. On an Pixel C with Android 8.1 it lists no beacons. What i'm doing wrong?
