- PB: LOST PHONE ALERT
Price: £4.99 from fave.co/3prHSzn
Don’t you wish your Apple Watch
could warn you when you leave your
iPhone behind? It could just kick off
a notification whenever you leave
Bluetooth range.
That’s essentially what Phone
Buddy Lost Phone Alert does. It’s
a little more sophisticated than
that – you can set a threshold of
Bluetooth strength and set various
limits (like the strength of the alarm or
disabling it when on home Wi-Fi). But
in essence, this app asks you to pay
£5 for a feature that we think Apple
should just build into watchOS and
iOS already.
Is it worth it? If you’re the kind
of person who walks off with your
iPhone more than you’d like to,Get alerts on your Apple Watch when you leave your iPhone behind.you don’t need an answer to that
question, you’re already in the app
store throwing your money at it.- THINGS
