It was released and downloaded about 15k times. It worked on very cheap Android devices like a charm, but the wifi hotspot standards are very fragmented, and thus it didn't work very well.

We want to retool it with BLE (bluetooth low energy), which would be far better, but we have yet to find a developer with the time and the chops to do it.

Awesome!

I'm learning Android in prepartion for some Android classes I will be leading in September, maybe I could take a shot when I've learned more? Would you find BLE on a HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S3?

Absolutely. Just give me a shout out. AFAIK most phones are shipping with BLE now.
