Comments on Beacon Simulator for Android

★★★★★ Grea App! I use it to simulate Eddystone-EID beacons and works like a charm. The only app that I found that can simulate Eddystone-EID and that just works.
★★★★★ Great tool for evaluating beacon applications (own or others) without having access to all variants of physical beacons. Supports multiple beacons simultaneously of different types, and can be used to scan for beacons as well.
★★★★★ Great App to use while development an embedded BLE solution. The App has small bug . When setting an beacon simulator with UUID 00 11 22 33 44 .etc. The real broadcasted beacon has this UUID 00 01 12 33 (additional zero)
★★☆☆☆ This app was absolutely the best when I first started using it, but now it seems to have stop working as in it appears functional but doesn't actually broadcast so I don't get any traffic at all to what I am promoting. Please fix or let me know what I can do.
★★☆☆☆ The scanner works alright, but the simulator does not. The packets sent by the simulator can only be picked up by the same app. Tried multiple other apps and a hardware detector I built myself and nothing picks up the packets from this app.
★★☆☆☆ My device supports ble 4.2 but its saying that your device doesn't support ble even I checked with ble checker app, and it congratulated me.
★★☆☆☆ No option to set the MAC address. Uses random MAC. Otherwise, does the job.
