This app can be used to check whether the GAEN app is really working as intended (sending beacons), for instance when your phone is in sleeping mode or in standby.

Of course, you'd need another phone to check, since your phone can't detect the beacons it sends.

You can also use it to check (without any contact) if someone is using the GAEN application or not.

It can also be used to check if your phone changes of MAC address regularly to avoid tracking.
