Thingy:52 Mobile app

Complementing the Nordic Thingy:52 prototyping platform

This mobile app makes it possible to configure and interact with the Nordic Thingy:52™ out-of-the-box and can be used as a reference for making your own app. It enables anyone to rapidly prototype and design IoT applications without requiring any hardware design and low level programming knowledge. The Nordic Thingy:52 can provide a data stream for you, while you just go ahead and focus on your end of things!

Are you a mobile apps developer? We got you covered.
We have a CocoaPod in Swift for iOS 9.0 and above, an Android Library on GitHub for your Android development needs.
Those libraries are exclusively made for Nordic Thingy:52 to ensure that installation and mobile development are a breeze!

Are you a web app developer? We have a reference web app made with Polymer using the Web Bluetooth API. Available on GitHub.
