While developing beacon using any of the MCU's, what is the importance of using a Bluetooth sniffer? Is the app provided by TI on the ios sufficient?

I started developing Bluetooth beacon using CC2650STK. I was wondering should I order a Bluetooth dongle to act as a Bluetooth sniffer or the app that is provided by TI sufficient?

    If everything works then I guess not :) You can search the forums to see how others have used sniffers to assist in the development of their application.

    Keep in mind that most mobile phone BT stack implementations do not provide all over the air details to the app. I've personally found that wired/wireless protocol sniffers are an essential tool for successful product implementation.

    Best wishes

    Thanks JXS. I ran into some issue while implementing iBeacon using CC2650STK. I tried changing the parameters inside advertData[] according to iBeacon specification, but it look like it does not work. I also posted the questions here: e2e.ti.com/.../636321

    I used the TI app to look at the transmitting data, but it is all the same. Do you think that the issue is in the app or in the firmware? What should be my next step?
