Description
BLExAR is an integrated app that uses Bluetooth Low Energy to convert an Arduino board into an iOS-compatible device. BLExAR allows the iOS user to control all digital and analog pins on most Arduino-based boards using just a CC2541 (HM-10, AT-09, JDY-08, SH-M08) Bluetooth board.
Some features include: real-time control of all Arduino pins, data plotting in real time, data logging to a comma-separated file, capturing GPS coordinates of data points, and serial text communication using a terminal window.
The BLExAR app is intended for makers, students, and engineers interested in communicating between their Arduino and smartphone, whether for hobby or professional purposes. The app allow users to interact with their Arduino board, but also receive data from sensors and log precise measurements in time and space with GPS coordinates.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app for serial logging
After trying out several different BLE apps I was finally able to view and log serial data from my arduino. Easily saves the data to a csv file and sends to an email address. Perfect and easy. Great technical support as well! Highly recommend.
Does what it advertises with great support
I have downloaded 5+ other apps but they all are geared toward controlling Arduino with iPhone not sending sensor data TO iPhone . Had a few initial issues (self inflicted) but support staff responded within minutes to my questions and I was graphing sensor data immediately thereafter.
Outstanding App
Great app for using BLE with an Arduino. Good function set allowing direct control of I/O channels, messaging back and forth through a console, and the ability to download data from the arduino, plot it, and email it as a text file. Great customer support!
