About Bluetooth Low Energy:
- While scanning for Bluetooth Low Energy sensors, the application will ask for "location permission". This is an Android requirement (see https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth/permissions). WatchFlower does NOT use your location, for any purpose.
- Many phones WON'T let you use Bluetooth Low Energy if your GPS is not enabled!
- Some Android phones have poor Bluetooth quality... Unfortunately there's little that can be done. Stay close to your sensors and let WatchFlower do the rest. It won't do any miracles but it has a couple of tricks to mitigate bad Bluetooth connectivity.
- If the application doesn't work on your device, just uninstall it to get a refund! (see https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637)
