Android supports Wifi Direct in a more open fashion, but it will never interoperate with iOS because Apple likes to be stubborn. I have implemented support for Wifi Direct, using the same device renaming hack I used with Bluetooth: [1]https://github.com/n8fr8/gilgamesh/commit/8a8848a19c620d6c46 f105d46a99dd1bb6f98387 It seems to work, more or less, though I not sure how quickly the refresh on the names happens with the wifi discovery/detect sequence. I can run it in parallel with the existing bluetooth code, so both radios are scanning/broadcasting simultaneously. Not sure what that does to reception, but hey, we'll see! It seems like Wifi Direct also works up to 100m if you have clear line of sight. Regardless, it is definitely stronger than Bluetooth. I am mostly just impressed how crazy easy it is to implement Wifi Direct, and how powerful it is. It is really a hidden feature on Android. As for BluetoothLE, it is also quite easy it seems, but you can't run Bluetooth Classic and LE at the same time, and at least in the context of this app (Gilga), I want to support Classic mode still to interop with non-Android devices. +n References 1. https://github.com/n8fr8/gilgamesh/commit/8a8848a19c620d6c46f105d46a99dd1bb6f98387
