5/5Saved 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!).

5/5Finally a app, that is doing what you want and then going above and beyond your expectations.
I’ve tried every app and wrote reviews, suggestions, and over paid for everything that’s come along to protect my watch and my iphone. This app is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ANDS GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. IT’S A MUST HAVE. IT’S THE ONLY APP I WOULD MAKE SURE IS on MY PHONE AND MY WATCH. FINALLY YOU CAN PROTECT YOU’RE INVESTMENT. I LOSE MY PHONE SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. You can imagine how happy that makes my wife, HAVING TO buy new phones all the time and watches AS WELL THE LAST FEW YEARS. This should eliminate everything if i use it right. I am a disabled very. I had a T. B. I. It affects my memory, motor skills and’ I’m naturally clumsy and forgetful anyhow, so sometimes my life is frustrating to say the least. Well, the older i get the worse my dropping things, & leaving things behind gets. This is a gift from the app god to me!! Thank you so much. You really out did yourself. !!!

5/5So far, so good
I am always leaving my phone behind either in the car dashboard phone caddy, or in the garage or barn when I take the phone out of my pocket while i am crawling around working on a vehicle or some other project and then when I reach for my phone and realize it is gone, I have to go back and fetch it. This has really helped. When my phone has rebooted at night because it has downloaded an update, Phone Buddy has prompted me first thing the next morning to reestablish the connection. Plus when I am clearing brush or doing yard work, I often take of my watch because it collects dirt and junk under the band, and Phone Buddy has an option to let me know when I have left my watch behind too. I am very satisfied.

1/5Was 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.

1/5Too 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.
