Description
This application combines two great features - Phone Watcher and Device Finder.
Phone Watcher can help you to keep iPhone safe and secure by avoiding it from being lost or stolen. It will prevent that annoying situation when you accidentally leave your iPhone in the house/car/restaurant, but you didn't notice it right away. Start connectivity session from Apple Watch companion app and it will buzz your wrist in case if iPhone gets out of range during this session.
For comfortable usage it is recommended to add app to the Apple Watch face. You will be able to monitor connection state and automatically reconnect after session interruption.
With Device Finder you can see the list of all nearby Bluetooth devices and their names.
Any device, gadget or accessory like your AirPods or iPad can be easily found. Integrated tracker with precise distance algorithm will help you to search where particular device was placed.
NOTICE: From time to time Watch alert can be triggered even though iPhone is in range. This behavior cannot be prevented as it is caused by a brief interruption in Bluetooth connection. Such 'false' alerts is a rare event and should be ignored.
What’s New
Version 1.1.0
Phone Watcher mechanism was reworked because of a system bug in the new watchOS and now it relies on location updates in the background. Make sure to allow ALWAYS access in location permissions for this app to work properly.
Ratings and Reviews
Don’t forget your advice
Seems like he gets signals from things but it can’t identify exactly which one it is so I am not that great of a deal but maybe it’s just Buffalo and me I don’t know
Only visual indicator
Installed application on phone and my watch. On my phone I can see all my blue tooth devices. At a restaurant I tested the app. I had my wife take my phone to the car. A few seconds after she walked away, I could see the slash-bar red phone icon appeared on my watch, but no sound or vibration on my watch as described in the app information. Seams like the app needs more work. I did not want to rate the application at this time, but I couldn’t send unless I did.
Developer Response ,
Hello, thanks for your feedback! The latest watchOS has introduced system bug that breaks previously working notification mechanism. I released new app version which uses different mechanism, so now notifications are working again. Check new version and if you like how it works please put positive rating for this app.
Drains watch battery, can’t use trial
Unfortunately, I couldn’t use my trial “one a day” alert to test it out because when I rebooted my phone, that counted as my alert for the day. It drained my watch battery from 100% in 12 hours, so there went my range alert for the next morning as I recharged. The brand new watches come with this capability built in, I’ll just have to wait until I’m forced to upgrade.
