Estimote – Using mobile apps to trigger web-like sales events.

Estimote Virtual Beacon 2.0

The new version of the Estimote Virtual Beacon app, which has been just published in the App Store.

Beacons Radar

The new version is compatible with both physical Estimote beacons and virtual beacons you could simulate with your second iOS device.

Now you can see all active beacons in a phone’s range and compare their relative distance to the phone. It is also possible to tap on a selected beacon in the radar screen and see details like UUID, broadcasted signal strength, and battery level, as well the version of beacon operating system uploaded to the device.

Sample demos

The general responsiveness of all demo apps has been slightly improved, and real iBeacon behavior is simulated.

Estimote API

The source code of all three sample apps (distance demo, proximity demo and notifications demo) has been also published on our GitHub account and detailed tutorial explaining the source code is also available on our website, along with API documentation.
