IdeaSave Software has released a new Android app, MobileBeaconer, designed to easily detect Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons using iBeacon™, Eddystone URL, Eddystone UID or AltBeacon formats. The app allows users to save selected beacons and receive notifications when those beacons are nearby.
To ensure the scan continues without keeping the screen on, the app uses a foreground service, indicated by a “Scanning for managed beacons” notification. Users can also set the proximity range for notifications to immediate, near or far.
