I've been using this since it came out but I just figured out a really crazy use for it. I've been able to sniff Bluetooth transmissions passively without the phone being rooted. Maybe it was always possible and I just didn't know but I am overjoyed. So what you do is connect the devices app you're sniffing and then open this app and select the logger by going to the device and swiping right. It then shows the data transmissions. I've been able to reverse engineer some of my devices.

This app is awesome. I lost a little white Nest temperature sensor (BLE) that I keep in the attic, it fell in the middle of the attic's white insulation, I spent 1 hour digging around the insulation with no luck, I gotta hopeless... but using this app, it took me just 5 minutes to find the sensor, I just configured the app filter to show me the strong signals and I knew the sensor sends data every 10 seconds. So, I just moved my phone around looking for the right signal and its strength.

This is a great app! I use it to send macros to my FTMS treadmill instead of the clunky physical controls. I wish I could save the app macros as a shortcut, though. Click a home screen widget that would try to connect to the device and then run the macro
