Mostly works, but beacon "appeared" intent does not register in Tasker.

This app works great. I recommend using a newer device though. The beacon detection rate was slow on a Tab 4, but much more responsive on a Tab E. Also, for everyone saying that it doesn't work, you need to go to the apps permissions and enable 'Location'. Do that, and you'll see all the beacons...

The app works good, but the problem is, if doze mode activates (or is not even doze mode, because stop seeing beacons 10s after I switch off the screen), it looses connection and connect again if the device come back from doze mode. Maybe would help if the app asks for device admin rights.

Didn't work Didn't find any of my beacons on my S7
★★☆☆☆
Unfortunately could not detect any beacons I'd recently purchased. The app itself looks nice and easy to navigate. I just wish it worked, so I could use it with Tasker. Followed Brendan Fowler's post and switch on the apps locations permissions in Android settings. All on track.
★★☆☆☆
Didn't work for me The Rad Beacon I just purchased works with other apps, not this one
