It does the job of testing the ble_blinky app, not sure why they call it blinky though as it doesn't blink!!! :)

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 ☹️

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