Description
Are you making an electronics project and want a custom iPhone app to go with it? With Handy BLE you can control the world around you through Bluetooth Low Energy. Create a custom interface in minutes that can communicate directly to your Arduino project.
Easily design your own iPhone app without complicated iOS programming, then add a few simple commands to communicate with the LightBlue Bean through BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). Buttons can be customized with different colors and text and then moved around the screen any way you would like. Set a command that you want sent to your device for each button. Then just power on your LightBlue Bean, tap to connect and control your Arduino project. It is as simple as that!
Features:
• Works with the LightBlue Bean
• Console / Terminal
• Send messages
• Receive messages
• Arduino Example Sketch provided
• Supports 3D Touch quick actions
• Built for beginners and experts
Plus:
• No iOS programming required
• No internet required
• No complicated connection process
Handy BLE is designed to help younger makers and beginners understand the basics of mobile Bluetooth communication and is powerful enough for rapid prototyping by experts. We have tried to simplify the process so you can be up and running with your own iPhone application that will control your Arduino project. We have abstracted away the complicated bits but left enough so that you have complete control over your project while learning the basics as you go.

BLE Arduino Console
You can now send and receive messages to your LightBlue Bean through chat messages. The Bean Loader app lacks a serial interface for logging messages from the LightBlue Bean, now there is a free solution. This is an easy and intuitive way to debug and test your project. We have also added a new square button as well as laid the ground work for more great things!
• Console / Terminal
• Send messages

***Fixes crash on iOS 8 Sorry about that. ***
Now supports 3D Touch! You can open the app right into your favorite projects saving you time once you have built your custom app and just want to start using it with your LightBlue Bean. Also you can finally rename projects and rearrange the button layers for those of you who get creative and have overlapping buttons for a greater custom effect. The full list of changes is...
• 3D Touch quick actions
• Arrange button layers
• Rename projects
• Reorder projects
• Minor UI improvements

This update changes the app icon to a simple and easier to find design. It also adds an all new editor for buttons that is easier to use and better matches the design of the app. The full list of changes is...
• Updated app icon and logo.
• All new control editor makes creating and updating buttons easier.
• Added warning if there is no Bean connected to your project.
• Buttons now change color as they are pressed, this makes it clear that the app is responding to your tap.
• Auto connects a project to a Bean when there is only one bean, this saves time and confusion.
• Fixed bug where controls list would not update when a button was updated in the main project canvas.
• Fixed bug where updated control command would not save.
• Updated app icon and logo.
• All new control editor makes creating and updating buttons easier.

Jmaxxz,
Pretty good for the price, free.
Pros
- free
- easy to use
- nice looking
Cons
- does not detect taps on buttons, you really have to press and hold to get events to register.
- only supports stateless buttons
- no ability to get data out of a bean.
Conclusion
Works well enough, and is free so can't complain!

Awesome
Very simple and helps you get started on something you may have thought impossible .
MrJDaddy,
Will not open on my iPhone12
Not working on iPhone12 running iOS 16.3.1

Great Bean Accessory
I have been playing with the Bean from Punch Through Design and recently heard about this app. It makes a great accessory to the bean and was quick and easy to get up and running.
I would like to see additional controls like sliders and toggle switches. Maybe in a future version? :)

Awesome little app to get my bean up quickly
I've had some beans and haven't spent the time to completely program them, but with this app I can do a lot with extremely little effort! Really great for making my beans usable with minimal effort and impress people.
JuxPod,
Great learning tool
I am new to Arduino and Bluetooth controlled devices but I want to make something that works with my iPod Touch. Not knowing where to start I found this app and it was really easy to get the LightBlue Bean working with my iPod and to learn the basics of wireless communication.
KSG88,
Well designed
The design and functionality of this app are well done. It is clean and easy to understand. I was able to create a cool project with just my phone and Bluetooth arduino.

Best Bluetooth controller I've seen yet
Great app, simple interface, so many possibilities. Perfect for my multi million dollar smart house. Now I can control all of my Bluetooth deceives wirelessly! Thanks for the great app!!!

Simple Interface
I'm impressed. This app continues to improve rapidly. It has a simple to use interface.
Dvs dan,
Works great!
Works great for my Arduino project
