Ratings and Reviews
Great idea, very weak execution
This app needs a lot of babysitting. If you restart your computer, or sometimes it seems just on waking from sleep, you have to manually reconnect it to your phone, or it won't work. Even if your phone is a foot away, it won't find it unless you manually point it at it every time you restart the program. This also means putting your phone into discovery mode for it to work, you can't just tell it to find it again. It's a bit of a pain.
I know there's no hardware limitation preventing this, because ControlPlane can automatically hook up to a nearby bluetooth phone after being pointed to it just once, without having to touch the phone at all or put it into discovery mode. In fact, once ControlPlane connects with it in this way, suddenly BlueSense can see it just fine. I tried to find a way to get ControlPlane to automatically open the link periodically, but so far haven't managed to get it to work reliably. But there's no reason BlueSense shouldn't be able to just do that on it's own, without my having to open up another program to get it to happen.
Then, sometimes, even after it connects, it starts thinking your phone isn't there, even if it's right next to it. You have to quit the app, and restart it, and re-point it at your phone manually again.
This app should just work, without having to pay attention to it to keep it working. Then it would be a great app.
