If you’re often tinkering with Bluetooth gadgets or working on BLE development, nRF Connect for Mobile is pretty much a must-have. Created by Nordic Semiconductor ASA, this handy tool puts you in control of scanning, exploring, and talking to all sorts of Bluetooth Low Energy devices straight from your phone—or even from your computer if you’re running BlueStacks. Whether you’re a developer or just curious, it gives you a clear view into how your nearby devices are working and lets you test all sorts of interactions in real time.

App Features

• Device Scanning Made Simple
  Quickly scan for available BLE devices all around you. It’s a snap to spot both known and unknown gadgets in your environment.

• Advertisement Data at a Glance
  Get immediate access to details broadcast by BLE devices. The app sorts out and displays everything clearly, so you don’t need to squint at raw data.

• Signal Strength Tracking
  Watch the RSSI (signal strength) in real time, and even export signal graphs if you want to analyze them later in Excel or as a CSV file.

• Full Device Interaction
  Connect to any compatible Bluetooth LE device. Browse its services, read and write characteristics, and test out notifications or indications on the fly.

• Advanced Features for Developers
  Work with Device Firmware Updates (DFU), control Zephyr or Mynewt-based gadgets through McuMgr, and try out Nordic UART. Test macros and even automate BLE device testing with simple scripts.

• BLE Advertising Tools
  Set your device to advertise as a BLE beacon or peripheral (on Android 5+), tweak PHY settings (on Android 8+), and configure your own GATT server.

• Automated Testing
  Use XML scripts to create and run automated tests, making regression testing and repeated experiments much less of a headache.

• Macro Recording and Playback
  Record your regular operations as Macros and replay them whenever you need, speeding up repetitive workflows.
