Is there any sample app (iOS or Android) to test the few nRF5 as BLE central samples?

&lt;p&gt;You can find information about how to test the different examples in their infocenter-pages. Here for the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v14.0.0/ble_sdk_app_hrc.html?cp=4_0_0_4_1_0_1"&gt;Heart Rate Collector Example&lt;/a&gt;. The best way to test the central is using two devices.&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to check that the ble_app_hrs_c example works, you can check the terminal output.&lt;br /&gt;
It should look something like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/7230.termite.PNG" alt="image description" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, the current version of the &lt;a href="http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Nordic-mobile-Apps/nRF-Connect-for-mobile-previously-called-nRF-Master-Control-Panel/(language)/eng-GB"&gt;nRF Connect&lt;/a&gt; mobile app has a feature that lets you advertise as a peripheral that your central can connect to.
In iOS, go to the middle tab called &amp;quot;Advertiser&amp;quot;, click the nRF5x, and add the Heart Rate service. When you enable it, your central should try to connect to it.&lt;/p&gt;

When connected, your terminal output should look something like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/termite2.PNG" alt="image description" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps.&lt;br /&gt;
Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;
