Building a smart home or robot? Just learning electronics? - Blynk works for everyone.
Blynk is the first and only drag-n-drop mobile app builder for the microcontrollers and Internet of Things (IoT)
Connect any sensors and control any actuators connected to your board.
Use a wide variety of widgets like buttons, sliders, graphs etc. to visualize sensor data and control any electronics from anywhere in the world with your own app.
Blynk is easy. You will start tinkering in 5 minutes!
All you need:
1. Set up widgets with a just a few clicks
2. Upload Blynk example sketch code to your hardware
3. Enjoy Blynking!
Check the examples in the library to get started and build Your Internet of Things. It doesn't matter if you are newbie or pro.
Blynk works with every hardware you can imagine, even with Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE)
Just look at this list of already supported boards and shields:
• Arduino: Uno, Nano, Mini, Pro Mini, Pro Micro, Mega, YÚN (Bridge), Due
• Raspberry Pi (all models)
• ESP8266
• ESP32
• Wemos D1
• Particle Core
• Particle Photon
• Intel Edison and Gallileo
• TinyDuino (CC3000)
• Wicked WildFire (CC3000)
• RedBearLab CC3200, WiFi Mini
• Energia
• LinkIt ONE
• Sparkfun ESP Thing

• WiPy
• Espruino
• Linux
• PC (Ubuntu, etc)
• Python (scripts only, library on the way!)
• JavaScript ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/blynk-library5 )
• Node.js (Linux, Windows, OSX, Raspberry, Edison, ...)
Shields and connections:
• USB, connected to your laptop or desktop computer (no shield required!)
• Ethernet shield (W5100)
• Adafruit CC3000 WiFi

• ENC28J60
...And this list is constantly updating. You can even write your own hardware library because it's Open Source.
You can use our Blynk Cloud for FREE. But if you want to be the boss - deploy your own Blynk Server with a single line of code and have full control in your hands. You can even run it on your Raspberry Pi ! Cool, yeah?
If you like Blynk - leave us a review. A good one of course :) Because bugs and crashes should go to forum - this is the best way to fix them.
Happy Blynking!

Build your first iot app in five minutes. Maybe if you’re experienced with this sort of thing. I found the instructions totally inadequate.
BLE connectivity broken for HM-10 in latest version 2.26.2
TheDarkspy
It appears that the latest IOS version 2.26.2 has problems connecting to BLE devices. When trying to connect the HM-10 sees the iphones attempt to connect, but it appears that the IOS app never completes the connection. I can connect to the HM-10 through a BLE terminal on the IPhone, also I can connect through an android app.
Very expensive.

Doing anything interesting with this system will cost quite a bit, but that cost is hidden in in-app purchases. I won’t be using this.
Best IoT app builder

I’ve been using Blynk for 3 years and it’s still best on the market for controlling IoT devices via iphone
Fun and easy mobile Arduino/ESP UI development
Once a Geek
I’m a couple of years in with Blynk and I love ‘em. Blynk gives me a great iPad and Android UI for my ESP32, ESP8266, SONOFF, and IFTTT applications. I hope Blynk stays around. I have good looking dials, gauges, switches, controls and charts. Everything is WiFi easy. Blynk connects easily with all the home automation apps and protocols including IFTTT, Home Assistant, MQTT, and others. It fully supports Arduino and the ESP family. Blynk works hard at community and supports its developers. Bugs get fixed and there are plenty of useful Blynk libraries, mostly for WiFi connectivity. Blynk is generally free. No ads. No hounding for payments. (You can pay small extra one-time amounts when you use a lot of dials, gauges and charts or have many devices. Their free offering is generous - enough for multiple projects, and you can experiment, recycle what you don’t end up using.) I’m a fan, enjoy Arduino programming and like the look and feel of the Blynk apps I make. I can even share them with others.
App is good, but server looksnnot stable
미친 도사
App is.good and easynto use. But when starting app, it reports "no internet connection". I cannot use or modify my custom tool in no internet connection state. I experienced it rather frequently than before.
Better on android
Moco loci
There are some missing features for IOS, some misfunctions happen in IOS, better to work with android. Other than that, great app, makes things extremely easy ?
Great until updating
Jon1443
Every time the app updates I have to reinstall it, or the app won’t connect to the internet. Love it all other times
Great libraries
jackedak
Great arduino code!!!!!!! I will never have to change the program all I have to change is the app settings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$!!
Don’t waste your time!
BigCat1992
I have spent over 10 hours trying to configure my Raspberry Pi to work with this app. The setup requires setups of multiple pieces of software (Java and Nodejs) that seem to have missing files that won’t install (npm onoff). Don’t attempt to use this app unless you know how to program in Java or C++. Definitely not for a casual user who just wants to be able to turn the lights on and off!
