## Description

Phone Buddy Lost Alerts is an Apple Watch companion that helps you avoid forgetting your iPhone by alerting you the moment Bluetooth is lost between iPhone and watch. Use Lost Phone Alerts, Distance Going Away Alerts, and an optional loud alarm to ensure you never misplace either device. 

The app works with WatchOS 6 or later and supports Apple Watch Series 2–9, SE, and Ultra. It can trigger a sound on the watch from your iPhone to help locate it, making it a handy addition to your iPhone/watch toolkit for quick device recovery.

## Review summary

Phone Buddy is valued for its cross-device alert system (phone and watch) and strong watch integration, often beating Find My in responsiveness and usefulness. However, reliability issues (false alarms, alerts turning off), battery drain, and Bluetooth/connectivity problems are the most repeatedly mentioned drawbacks.

### Pros

- Leash-like alert when you leave your iPhone behind, helping prevent losing your phone.
- Strong Apple Watch integration: can alert for leaving either device behind and supports customizable thresholds.
- Often considered a must-have for Apple Watch users and praised for value compared to built-in options like Find My.
- Widely cited real-world usefulness (e.g., saves phone in stores) and positive user sentiment, with good support.

### Cons

- False alarms and over-sensitivity, including alerts triggering when the phone is nearby.
- Alerts can randomly turn off or become unreliable, making the app seem useless at times.
- Significant battery drain on the Apple Watch due to the app running continuously.
- Requires the watch app to be actively running (not just in background), leading to battery and usability concerns.
- Bluetooth/connectivity issues cause missed alerts or as-needed toggling of Bluetooth to fix.
