The WICED Sense App for Android is now available: WICED Sense - Android Apps on Google Play
The WICED Sense for Android is the client application for Broadcom's WICED Sense development TAG. The WICED Sense TAG is made up of the BCM20737S Bluetooth Low Energy SoC and five ST Microelectronics sensors: gyroscope, accelerometer, eCompass, pressure, and humidity/temperature. The BCM20737S connects directly to the sensors without the need for an external microprocessor. WICED Sense for Android displays the real-time data from the sensors on the TAG.

I have the same problem, I think, it says I have no compatible devices, yet other Broadcom Apps I can install with no problem.
I'm in Australia.

Hello Gr Hans
The Android App is only compatible with Android version 4.4.
The iOS App is only compatible with iOS 4S phone and above that contain the Bluetooth Low Energy Radio.
We do not currently support the WICED Sense App on the iPad.
Thank you

Hi JT
Thanks for the quick answer.
I am disappointed about the answer. The BT radio from my PC can see the device , so I can play with the wiced sense.But no app for the PC...!
I bought the device for mounting on my satelite disk from my camper.
On my android device I should manually turn my disc into the right direction with the right elevation.(Astra19 or Astra 23). By Using the wiced sense there is no need for any wiring to the disk on the roof from the camper
I can look for a cheap android 4 device (phone) to experiment further.
Have a nice day!

If it is of any help, there are versions of Android for the PC.
I use Android (4.4) installed on a USB stick and boot my PC from that. I assume Android would work in a VM as well.
The only problem I have with this is that Android keeps losing the Wiced, and then although it is showing as connected in the WiFi manager, it won't talk again until the whole system is rebooted. That may also be down to the BT dongle I'm using on the PC.

I just updated the Android app, and found there is some description in what's new. There is a suggestion to update the firmware of WICED Sense to 1.3. Where can we get the firmware to update?
WICED Sense - Android Apps on Google Play
What's New
Added OTA firmware update support.
Fixed refresh issues with UI.
Fixed Bluetooth LE connection issues.
Please update your WICED Sense Tag to firmware version 1.3

I believe there are a couple of other threads here that state it requires Android 4.3 or later.

Shiv,
The WICED Sense tag works with Bluetooth Low Energy.
The Android O/S did not include Bluetooth Low Energy into the operating system/framework until Android 4.3.
Android 4.0 and 4.2 did not include Bluetooth Low Energy APIs into the framework. If your refer to the following link,
BluetoothGatt | Android Developers
you will see that Bluetooth Gatt APIs appeared only with Android API 18 (which is 4.3 JellyBean).
Android 4.3 APIs | Android Developers
There is no API provided by Google before JellyBean to support Bluetooth Low Energy, so we cannot be backward compatible to functionality that did not exist prior to 4.3.

Ok my point is to convey that it should be leftest Yet backward compatible. I'm not an android developer. but going forward there is need to make sure it is install-able and working for majority of market device. if you go with moore law. at least it should compatible with 18 month before launched device version. as if you so most successful app like whatsup they are compatible with 4.3 onward as well as before it.

Hello Shiv
BLE was introduced in JB MR 4.3 and was flakey on lots of phones when it was introduced on proprietary BLE Stacks
The BLE stack was improved in 4.4 and is still it completely bug-free today
Good luck on the Hackathon!

Hi Shiv,
It's a Google/Android limitation. It did not support BLE until version 4.3 or after.
Cheers, Gil.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) offered hit or miss BLE support
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) is by far the most consistent.
