Hello Donna,
In the last couple versions of IOS, apps are not allowed to communicate 
directly with the bluetooth stack without being given permission. This is 
because bluetooth was being used to track peoples locations. Any bluetooth 
device that needs an app to interpret it, must have that apps be granted 
bluetooth access in the privacy table. To do this,open up the Settings app 
under privacy select bluetooth and then look to make sure your app is enabled 
here.
Generally, there are four types of apps I find in the list that have requested 
bluetooth access:
1. Location apps that are using bluetooth to better pinpoint your location, 
like Sound Scape and Blind Square
2. Apps  that use chrome cast to send video to TVs.
3. Apps to specialially control a specific device (iRobot)
4. Apps that want to track you wit bluetooth beacons I have one restaurant and  
CBS News )

Best wishes,


Jonathan Cohn
