Phone Buddy Phone Lost Alert App Reviews

App is good does what it supposed to do however it drains too much battery

The app, in theory, is a great idea. However, the phone lost alerts keep randomly cutting off with a message of “unexpected shutdown, turn lost alerts back on”. I’ve tried both through the app and watch, still keep receiving the same notification. It would be great if this paid app worked correctly.

The lost app fails to start alerting after recognizing the connection was lost

It’s too bad Apple refuses to do this. Find My alerts on the Apple watch are absolute garbage in comparison. This app alerts you before you have a chance to leave your phone behind while Find My will maybe alert you long after it’s gone. This is a must for anyone that has a tendency to forget their phone.

This app is far better than the feature Apple includes an iOS. Not sure I need it anymore, but that’s a good thing. It has essentially trained me to take my iPhone along wherever I go. Seems to have gotten buggy, with the latest release. It can’t detect my phone. I’ve tried all their suggestions to correct it, but no good. maybe I should just delete it, since I seem to no longer need it.

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.

Where’s the iOS 15.4 ??? App malfunctioning!!!!!!!

This app has saved me from forgetting my phone several times. It is well worth the money spent.

Works great, saves from forgetting my phone which I do all the time. Other apps have failed and this one exceeds. I love the battery charged notifications.

Using with my series 5 and very impressed!

It seems like this app use a lot of the battery power almost twice as much when the app is not loaded

Incredible app. Very well made, does exactly what I was looking for. I haven't left my phone since I got it. Highly recommend.

Lost my phone recently, I left it in a store. I was lucky enough to get it back and found this app. Works great, instructions though are either vague or outdated based on new devices. Also, please add the year to the date of the review. -Marc

This is a great app. I use it all the time. The developers are great. They listen to the user’s suggestions and issues. Answer questions and tailer their app based on so users can have the best experience. Thanks.

The app works just as you’d want it to and alerts you when you leave your iphone behind. The app had lots of features but all you need is Phone Lost Alert on your Apple Watch. Turn that on and you’re set.

I like this app a lot, I use it everyday

I like this app! The left behind alert has to be “dialed in” to work properly. My wish is that the Lost Alert would automatically arm, after I turn the watch back on? I recommend this app however.

Go ahead and pay the 7 dollars. It’s worth it if you have an Apple Watch. But can we get back the function of making a fake phone call from a watch to get out of conversations that was truly nice.

I wished that there had been a trial. There are lots of settings but it kept sending notices when my phone was in my hand. And I had it set on far.

Only gripe, and it is a nit-picky gripe, is that I wish there was a way to turn off the icon from showing up at the top in the center of the watch face. Very effective app that adds a feature that the watch should have already. Cheers!

Saved me from forgetting my phone in an Uber last night!

Went for a hike. Had lunch and listened to the creek bubble. Left no trace except for my lost phone! Thanks phone buddy. You worked even with no service.
