For me Geohopper worked best, it was surely not 100%, often not reporting that I had left an iBeacon area, but still better than the other two I tried.
I have 3 Estimotes in my house, and use the all for location detection in Indigo.
Now with the new version of GeoHopper on AppStore, you cannot use the Estimotes, or any other beacon for that matter, for free anymore. You have to pay 70 NOK (roughly 15 USD) to be able to add an iBeacon manually! I think this is outrageous, as they have turned a free feature into an expensive feature, in order for GeoHopper to push their Bleu Station beacon. That one you can still use for free.
I am reluctant to pay 15 USD for an app that might or might not work as it should now, given that it did not have a 100% track record from before...
I have tried GeoFency and Beecon as well, but in my experience they have even worse track record of reporting correctly...
Alas, I guess its my fault for believing that finally I had found a location device/system that would be reliable. The search continues...
Anybody tried the new GeoHopper app? Is it better than before? (i.e. worth 15USD?)
Any other apps that might be better, and be integrated into Indigo 6?
