Comments on nRF Blinky for Android

★★★★★ Ian Olivieri · Dec 25, 2020
Worked like a charm, and responsiveness is great too. Used with nRF52840-Dongle (rev 1.2.0) programmed with the nRF5 SDK's (v17.0.2) ble_app_blinky example for PCA10059, and the s140 nrf52 7.2.0 soft device
★★★★★ Christian Wilgaard · Feb 9, 2016
So easy!!! Thank you for making it so easy, and especially for sharing the source :D
★★★★★ Gordon Moore · Jun 2, 2021
It does the job of testing the ble_blinky app, not sure why they call it blinky though as it doesn't blink!!! :)
★☆☆☆☆ Paresh Patil · Nov 22, 2018
App is not connecting to BLE device after update. Yes similar issue. Okay I can continue on GitHub issue.
★☆☆☆☆ Austin Fennacy · Sep 5, 2018
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 ☹️
