In the settings screen you can customise scanning and transmitting settings. Some of the settings include:

This application is an open source project. Source code is available at: https://github.com/BoydHogerheijde/Beacon-Scanner. We're still students so any feedback is much appreciated!
We're working hard on making this app as awesome as it could be. Some of the features we're working on right now are:
* Saving and sending log files
* Adding beacon formats for scanning
This app requires Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE or Bluetooth 4.0). The app requires Android 4.3 or above.
A big thanks to the guys and girls from Radius Networks for providing a great beacon library and lots of information! Be sure to check it out: http://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/
