Bluetooth 4.0 Scanner
This supports the earthping.com project
- crowdsourced Bluetooth database. Users are also reporting usage to find their lost Bluetooth devices.
Scan data can be downloaded via email in JSON and CSV format. Also, this version uploads the found devices to a web database, which can be turned off in menu --> settings. Bluetooth 4.0 devices will be able to scan in Classic or Low Energy mode. Devices without Bluetooth 4.0 can scan in Classic mode only.
This is part of a research project into the extent that Bluetooth devices are used in the buildout of the Internet-of-things. Currently this supports Bluetooth Classic and 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy
- BLE).
This app is oriented toward those curious about the extent of the Bluetooth devices in and around their neighborhood
- drive through your neighborhood while scanning for Bluetooth devices and you'll see sensors, firetucks, freeway monitors, car brands, laptops, phones, TV set-top boxes, etc.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. That includes bugs, feature requests, sending of some scan data sets would be appreciated ([email protected]) and/or any comments about interesting Bluetooth devices you are seeing.
Many Thanks, [email protected]

Well, it didn't work for me. I lost my fitness band and was unable to find it using this app. But what disappointed me was I found it in a place where I mostly scanned using this app.
Works! Shows Mac address of all nearby Bluetooth devices. But if you are looking for Amazfit BIP then you need to make it Discoverable in Zepp settings.
Can find Bluetooth device by seeing power if power is in less negative no. then band is closer.
Seems like it doesn't work. Nothing happens after I tap "scan".
Cant get dayband to see smart with and 4.3, and Innos i7A. Yours works, phone sees. Smart band sw wont. All ver.
very bad it took more than half hr to scan but th result so irritated it can't find anything
Use the app as per instruction is working, my band is retain to my hand..thank you
Collecting data and uploading it by default? Immediate uninstall.

What a pile of useless time. Pointless app, why enable GPS.
Best app ever seen. It helped me in finding my mi band 4. Thank for this app
Very bad. Can't scan..
not helping in my phone reconnecting to bluetooh sony soundbar
Doesn't do anything when I click scan
Just useless, very disappointed 😡😡😡
This is awesome app!
Does nothing. Seriously.
Will ruin your Fitbit
Baaaaàaaaaad.. waste of timeeeee
UPDATE from ONE STAR (app NOT working) to FIVE STARS. This is a great app that searches Bluetooh devices and compares them against a identification database. It is helpful, especially since you can filter all BT devices or show just low-level BT devices. NTS- Use as needed, store apk file to re-install when needed. Great app.
They take the information you collect and sell it to businesses. No thanks, I don't work for free. They describe it as a 'community driven project' to imply it's some sort of open-sourced database that everyone can use like OpenStreeMaps, but no. They charge $799 or more a month to corporations and advertisers. Where's my cut of this money, since I did the work of collecting the data you're selling? Deceptive and quite likely deserve to be on the business end of a class-action lawsuit.
Gives you lat and Long of your item but doesn't have a map or actual tracker to help you find the item.
Problem permission with samsung galaxy s7 edge on screen overlay. No show list devices
Found my Misfit Shine after losing it in the yard.
Tried to use this app to find a Mi Band 6. I learned that it will only work if you have made the band discoverable within the Mi Fit app settings beforehand. Otherwise, you have to wander around with the Mi Fit app open and hope it connects to the band. Then you can make it discoverable.
