BLE Serial Pro
nRF & CC2541 BLE UART terminal
$3.99 · Designed for iPad
V3.8 is here. Faster startup, smarter auto-reconnect, and a live console strip in the Functions view. Your BLE serial terminal, upgraded.
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful wireless serial terminal. BLE Serial Pro connects to any Bluetooth Low Energy serial device — Nordic nRF52 boards, HM-10 modules, custom IoT hardware — and lets you send commands and receive data in real time.
Whether you are a maker debugging firmware, an engineer testing a sensor, or a developer building a connected product, BLE Serial Pro gives you everything you need in one clean app.
**WHY PRO?**
The free BLE Serial editions (nRF52 and HM-10) are great for a single module. Pro unlocks the full experience:
• Programmable buttons — store your most-used commands and send them with one tap (exclusive to Pro)
• Works with ANY BLE serial device — nRF52, HM-10, CC2541, or your own custom firmware, all in one app
• Live console strip on the Functions screen — see device responses while you send commands, without switching views
• Advanced display options — fine-tune the console exactly the way you want it
• One app for your whole workbench — no need to switch apps when switching hardware
If you send commands regularly, or work with more than one type of BLE device, Pro is the right choice.
**CONNECT IN SECONDS**
Scan for nearby BLE devices and see their name, services, manufacturer data, and live signal strength at a glance. Tap to connect. Auto-reconnect brings you straight back to your device every time you open the app.
**SERIAL CONSOLE**
A smooth scrolling console shows all incoming and outgoing data with sent text highlighted for easy reading. Choose your font size, line endings, and display format (ASCII or hex) to match your workflow.
**FUNCTIONS — SEND WITH ONE TAP**
Store your most-used commands as custom buttons on the Functions screen. One tap sends a predefined string or byte sequence instantly. A live console strip at the bottom of the screen shows device responses without ever leaving the view.
**SMART ALERTS**
Define text patterns to watch for. When incoming data matches, BLE Serial Pro can alert you immediately — useful for monitoring autonomous devices or catching error conditions.
**FULLY CONFIGURABLE**
Change the service UUID, read UUID, and write UUID to work with virtually any BLE serial profile. Compatible with nRF52, HM-10, CC2541, and custom firmware.
**CLEAN AND FOCUSED**
No ads. No subscriptions. No unnecessary permissions. Just a reliable, fast connection to your hardware.
