5 ★ I need this for work just,Pacemakers.When in my pocket,the phone! Tell the codes en we make good deals ok.

1 ★ App is not connecting to BLE device after update. Yes similar issue. Okay I can continue on github issue.

2 ★ Latest version is not working correctly. Nothing happen. Just scanning device.

1 ★ doesn't work with nRF DK board PCA10040, batch 2018.24, says that the required characteristics were not found when the board itself briefly switches from LED1 off + LED2 on to indicate the attempted connection... I was hoping it would be easier to develop in the nRF ecosystem but I'm really not having a good experience ☹️

5 ★ Thank you for making it so easy, and especially for sharing the source :D
