User Reviews for Phone Buddy - Phone Lost Alert

Well designed

Had this app about a year and it seems like every time they update it I get a new feature! The basic app was good when it first came out, but with the countless updates you wouldn’t think its the same app. For what you get the price is more than reasonable. Great execution, great design and works awesome. The folks working on this app have really put some thought into it and I really like the fact they keep throwing new features on it. Very pleased. I only wish I had seen the 6.99 lifetime offer before I renewed the subscription!! One of my favorite and most useful apps, highly recommended!

Useful -BUT……

This app is useful for those prone to always leaving their phone behind - however - it will drain your battery quickly. My battery did last all day, now, I need to charge it much more frequently. So, the trade off is, get reminded when you left your phone behind but pay with less battery life or continue forgetting your phone. Also - this is not a free app. You pay a one time fee of $4.99. So, 5 stars for usefulness, 1 star for battery drain. You pick. I think I’ll delete it.

Saved my phone a few times

So I often leave my phone behind all over the place and was looking for an app that would notify my Apple Watch when this happened (Apple’s built in one takes really long distance to let you know, like a few blocks). I bought this app even though some reviews were mixed and I’m happy I did. For me Phone Lost Alert works very well letting me know my phone is lost basically when I’m crossing the street in front of my house. This is great.I also enabled the distance alert setting with Wi-Fi Safe Zone enabled - this is the key to this setting, make sure you enable Wi-Fi safe zone and this alert works much better. I’ve had a couple moments outside of my house where the distance alert popped up as I was leaving my phone in m car, I had walked like 20 feet away. That was real cool! The app does have a bunch of configurations and can be a bit confusing but honestly I’m super impressed and I found what works really well for me (shared above!).

Dev Nailed It !!!

Outstanding app, period! This feature should come stock from Apple but since it isn’t, the Dev hit a grand slam with this one. Frankly, even if Apple did release a feature like this, I don’t even think they could match Phone Buddy. This is app is feature rich and works exactly as advertised which is the most important thing. The map feature is incredible and with a AW S5 and the built in magnetometer, it’s that much better. If you’re looking for a one stop shop- all in one app to make sure you never lose your phone, with complication support, I highly recommend this one. The Dev is very responsive as well.

Didn’t work on my iPhone 13 pro with series 7 watch

Support was quick and responsive, but I could never get the alarm to sound on my watch when my phone was left behind. I would get a notification when swiping down on the watch screen, but no alarm, and the only way to see the notification is to swiped down on the watch screen. I need an alarm when I walk away from my phone, so this app did not help me.I found the problem. When using Life 360 location service app phone buddy does not work properly and does not sound an alarm as it should on my watch. So there is a bug when using this with other location services. I hope the developers can fix this because this is really a useful app.

Too often receive lost phone alert with phone next to watch

I did all I could with configuration- set distance far and increased time. I also set to not alert on home WiFi. No joy. I still get random alerts for no apparent reason. I guess I need to be a big boy and remember my phone because this app gives too many false alerts to be useful. :(The developer suggested that I may be having problems in my environment with distance and simply use lost phone alerts instead. I had the issue with the phone and watch being within inches of each other. Unless my body generates a field that could through their process off, I don’t see what environment is interfering; it’s not like there are walls to go through or metal objects in the way. This issue didn’t just happen at home. BTW - iPhone 12 Pro and Watch Series 6, so this isn’t an issue with older hardware. Downgraded the review to 1; reminds me a bit of the iPhone - you’re not holding it right but worse.

Everyone Needs This

A few years ago I left my phone in a Vegas casino and didn’t realize it until hours later when I was back in my hotel room. I was so frustrated that my Apple Watch somehow couldn’t alert me of this because it would’ve saved me a ton of time and frustration. This lead me to look into solutions for this type of situation and that’s how I found this app. Haven’t lost my phone again since that incident in Vegas but knowing I have this app installed gives me peace of mind. The alerts for when you’re distancing (or disconnecting) from your phone work perfectly and are extremely useful. This a must-have app for every iPhone and Apple Watch owner.

Logo change?

I like your app. I really do. It does, or at least tries its best for doing what it says. I am tired of Apple playing these gimmicks where they intentionally didn’t put this feature in iPhones so people loose more iPhones and end up buying new ones. Way to go Apple. You did it again. #ForgetGate. But I had one small request, was wondering if you could have a better more simplistic, minimalistic logo. The current one looks like someone tried to make it in less than an hour. Tech wise, your app is amazing! Cheers!

Finally the app Apple Watch should have had all along

After leaving my phone at work and driving home for a second time in 4 weeks, I finally decided to set up an alert for when my Apple Watch disconnects from the phone. Except wait, there isn’t one! I tried two free solutions that didn’t work, then finally Phone Buddy. This one works. I’m only using the Bluetooth connectivity part. I can’t even make it to my car before I get an alert. This is exactly what I needed.

Was good, now it’s AWFUL!

I’ve had this app for several version of the iPhone and Apple Watch and the first iterations of this app worked fine, without false alarms but after recently updating this app and being pleasantly surprised by all the great additions to the functionality of this app I was impressed. THAT WAS SHORT LIVED. This app is horrendous with false alarms, no matter how much I tinker with the distance and time setting it’s constantly going off. With me working in the medical field with patient care, it’s very rude and startling to patients and family members having loud and obnoxious fire alarm sounding alerts randomly blaring out of your phone and watch, even when both your phone and watch are on your person. I’ve even went as far as completely shutting down the application when I need it the most but the application is still making my phone alarm randomly. I’m super disappointed in this application now and I feel I have no choice but to remove it completely from my phone.
