You are right, pull-to-refresh was not very discoverable ;) Somehow I an auto-update function for a tab called "history".

Another thing I just realised is the number of new devices in the notification label. Let's say I put ramble in the background. After 10 minutes it tells me that there are n_1 new devices. I click on the notification in order to check them out. If I then put ramble in the background and it finds n_2 new devices then the notification says that there are now n_1 + n_2 new devices. I would expect that it says n_2 devices.

The notification is a summary of the current scan (until you stop it). New devices are ones you've never seen before the current scan. I often run it on my commute, the 'total' number give me an idea of how busy (in terms of BLE devices) it is today.

If you export the database you can pull some more interesting numbers out, e.g. http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/bluetooth-le-increas...
