The preferred Bluetooth app is called Bluefruit Connect published by Adafruit industries and is available as a free download from both Android Google Play or from the Apple App Store. Adafruit publishes this app as a generic Bluetooth, or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), development tool for programmers and hobbyists to experiment with the various Bluetooth enabled development boards that they offer.

The Bluefruit Connect app is capable of several different tasks. Communication with the Climb_and_Dive timer only requires the use of the UART Service. UART is a standardized communications protocol used to transfer data between different devices. Pairing is not required.
