mobile/ios application that allows to scan for BLE module nRF52840 ?

Do u have mobile/ios application that allows you to scan for Bluetooth low energy devices with nRF52840 and communicate with them? If not, how we can do it?

  • What do you mean by "mobile app which can scan WITH nRF52840"?

    If you mean how to detect on mobile device that nRF52840 is advertising somewhere nearby then you can get any from thousands of BLE scanning apps from Apple or Google app stores (I do recommend Nordic nRF Connect which is released/maintained by Nordic team, it's excellent debugging tool even for beginners and it has even source code openly published on GitHub).

    If you want to be connected from mobile to nRF52840 and then let nRF52840 to scan and report some things back o mobile then firstly how you envision this connection (BLE or wire?) and secondly you will definitely need to write both mobile app and nRF52840 FW yourself, there seems to be nothing like this (logically: why would anyone bother with connecting nRF5x device for scanning purposes to mobile phone when all mobile phones have BLE capable chipset, stack and APIs to do it?)
