Configuration app not working

I was delighted to receive this today but the configuration app is not working. The Android version keeps crashing and the iOS version only shows nearby Bluetooth devices. The item itself looked ok. Waiting for reviews.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised

Great product, easy to set up

I bought this beacon to test Bluetooth signals. This beacon was very consistent and incredibly easy to turn on and set up. I just downloaded the app on Android or iOS and was able to change the beacon's name as well as its report rate, which worked really well for the project I was working on. on the.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Little things

Works better than advertised

Setting up the beacon was very easy with the app (I downloaded it from the play store following the instructions on the website). I just used the default settings at first, so technically I didn't even have to use the app. But I thought it would be fun to at least change the lighthouse name to something personal. I also successfully modified the UUID with something new and tested different transmit power and interval settings. Everything seems to be going smoothly. I was curious to see how much

Pros
  • Fast replacement
Cons
  • Reliability

The best lighthouse there is. Period.

Backed by a great company that stands behind their product 100%. I have bought and use five of these and one of the Bluecharm Outdoor waterproof units for a while and they work great. I use them with my iPhone with "Owntracks", "Geofency" and Home Assistant. Easy setup, reliability, great value, and support from a company that cares about and stands behind their product - I mean it's common, don't be greedy - where have you seen that lately? <I have nothing to do with this company and I…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • There are nuances

Great product to match network adapters

Great product and phenomenal support! Thomas, CEO of Blue Charm Beacons personally answered my questions and provided some very valuable advice and suggestions. I mostly use -23dBm Tx and am happy with the signal/RSSI.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

They are almost useless for most purposes without the Eddystone software. However, they are great for location tracking and other functions. I'm still playing around with them and trying to get them to work with friends' mobile billboard service. So far I'm afraid my outlook is not positive because there are too many different so-called protocols and only a few of them charge INCREDIBLE subscription fees, making them useless. I'm personally a huge privacy fanatic and hate marketing, but a…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost never

Very nice, ready-to-use beacon

This beacon was programmed and ready to use, it worked as soon as I switched it on with the supplied battery. It's as small as my other beacons and has a better hull than expected. Without any changes, it supports 3 different beacon profiles by just double-clicking the button. I haven't been able to change the settings yet, but that's not my use case anyway. I can get them direct from China much cheaper but without any support. It's worth it.

Pros
  • There's something in it
Cons
  • For the old
