New 'look and feel' removes the 'command line' logger interface, which was incredibly useful. Also doesn't automatically reconnect when the device power cycles. Also only shows a handful of notifications, instead of the entire history. Have to compile an old version from source to get these features back. Bring back the console!!! it was a great debugging tool

Doesn't work on Android 10 on a pixel3a: doesn't find any devices. I disabled/re-enabled location permission as suggested in prior feedback but nothing. The "connect" button just brings up a dialog box that immediately states "No device found", it didn't really have time to scan.

When scanning for a Bluetooth device, dosent find one when using mobile phone, (updating scalextric arc air firmware), this is a simple fix if your tech mided, instead of downloading the nrf toolbox download the nrf for mobile as when scanning for the scalextric arc air set it will definitely find which will enable you to update your scalextric arc air set,

It's getting worse and worse. Who thought that scrolling down like an imbecile in order to see the most recent log message would be a great idea for those that send huge of logs... Also why are some filters set on by default... Turn them all off....

Scan stopped working after Android 10 update. It always says no devices found, but other apps are able to scan fine

Does anyone have an Android cell phone or tablet that this works on? Certainly not on my Samsung Galaxy J3 or colleagues G6. Both running Android 8.1. Crashes at 1% upload, no explanation. Read below first so uninstalled all and reinstalled again to make sure all latest v. No go...

Won't scan any devices. Already tried disabling and enabling permissions again as previously suggested.
