Will NOT connect to current iOS version on iPhoneXS

I have already tried two devices and the device does not connect to iPhone XS with version 12.3.1. A friend with an Android phone can see an available BT connection, but my iPhone XS cannot. So don't worry if you're determined to have a laptop that will connect to your iPhone with the latest software update. According to the App Store, the latest version of their app was released at least a year ago, so I suspect the BT technology in the device is outdated. I haven't tried connecting to my Mac…

Pros
  • Beta, Gamma and X-ray detector
Cons
  • Something else

Size, Price, Easy Setup! Can it vibrate?

The Radex Geiger Counter/Dosimeter is one of the best inexpensive instruments I have seen. I've had mine for a few months now, it's easy to use and works great. You can choose to measure in microsieverts or microrems, I prefer microrems and if the reading is outside of 1000 it will show in millirems. You can also toggle the display to measure heart rate per minute. One of the best features is the vibrate mode, which most other devices don't have. While walking around with this device, I set it…

Pros
  • Google Play / App Store for mapping and sharing
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Updated: No longer recommended RD1212BT

Update September 2021: The RadexRead iOS app, which hasn't received any updates for over 4 years, no longer works - neither for recording your own Radex 1212BT measurements via Bluetooth, nor for viewing radiation reports from others on a map like in old times. The RD1212BT still works on its own, but the lack of useful applications seriously reduces its value for me. I can't recommend it more. I'm trolling Revain again, looking for a replacement device that actually connects to the mobile app…

Pros
  • High precision sensor SBM-20-1. Pre-calibrated
Cons
  • Requires socket
