- 📦Bluetooth Inspector updated to version 1.7.9Features:
• Peripherals that haven't been seen recently are greyed out in the list, so devices that have gone quiet are easy to tell apart from those still nearby.
Fixes:
• Writing a second or later value to a characteristic no longer crashes the app.
• Sending a write while viewing a characteristic no longer crashes when the device confirms it.
• Scanning for devices no longer crashes the app when many advertisements arrive at once.
• A new device is no longer listed twice when it advertises several times in quick succession.
• Successful writes now show the value you sent in the write history instead of an empty entry.
• Services a device removes or changes no longer linger alongside the refreshed ones.
• The peripherals toolbar no longer crashes when location isn't available.
Further:
• Peripheral discovery, signal strength updates and received values are now processed on a background actor, keeping the app responsive during intensive scanning.
• Location updates now use the modern Core Location live updates API.… more - 📈Bluetooth Inspector entered the top 100Top Free · Developer Tools · BR

Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
77/100
faster than 92% of Developer Tools apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

Constant use of Bluetooth connectivity can drain your device's battery. Bluetooth connectivity is only used when this app is in the foreground and up to a few seconds after being backgrounded to safely disconnect from peripherals being interrogated, unless Background Scanning is enabled in the app and the Live Activity is running.
