Comments on nRF Connect for Mobile for Android

★★★★★ Unlike a bunch of other apps I tried, this app was perfect for debugging my ESP32 BLE. I really wish that Web Bluetooth had better error messages. With this app I was able to figure out what the heck was going on and got serial communication working.
★★★★★ Excellent App. Able to connect my Microbit easily with this app. I am using this app to connect my Microbit v2. I am able to control the LED display through this app. Please let me know is there any way I can see the Microbit accelerometer readings on this app.
★★★★★ This is an app for developers. Don't give it one star because you don't understand this. It's the best app available for debugging. On my wishlist is scripting. Some devices disconnect after a couple of seconds. It would be great to execute a couple of write commands to multiple characteristics. Even better, be able to load, store, and share such scripts!
★★★★★ Great app. I wanted to know if it is possible to store the data that I am receiving from my BLE device somehow through the app? Thanks.
★★☆☆☆ This app does nothing for me. How about making it clear just what exactly this does? That way users can easily disseminate whether they need it. The vast majority of users are looking for something that's going to connect and disconnect their Bluetooth devices in a simple easy to understand format. This is full of it esoteric information and links to your other apps that just don't even work unless you have in-depth knowledge of Bluetooth and coding, perhaps.
★★☆☆☆ Buggy app. App crashes when selecting file for DFU. Searching for files using the search function crashes the app too.
★★☆☆☆ On Android 13 some devices are not showing name and manufacturing data at all. Not sure issue is in app or Android 13
