Installing on iOS

Get Buddzy running on your iPhone in under 3 minutes. Here is everything you need to know about downloading from the App Store.

Ready to jump in? Getting Buddzy on your iPhone is super quick — we're talking two to three minutes tops. Whether you're rocking the latest iPhone or holding onto a trusty older model, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, you're good to go. Let's walk through it step by step so you can start giving Stars to your friends as fast as possible.

How It Works

The install process is as straightforward as any other App Store download. Here's exactly what you need to do:

  1. Open the App Store — Tap the blue App Store icon on your home screen. You know the one.
  2. Search for "Buddzy" — Hit the search tab at the bottom, type "Buddzy" in the search bar, and tap search. We should pop up right at the top of the results.
  3. Tap "Get" — Once you see the Buddzy app (look for our logo), tap the "Get" button. If prompted, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
  4. Wait for the download — It'll take just a few seconds depending on your connection speed. You'll see the progress circle fill up on your home screen.
  5. Open Buddzy — Once the download finishes, tap "Open" in the App Store or find the Buddzy icon on your home screen and tap it.

That's it. Five steps, zero headaches.

Requirements

Before you download, make sure your device checks these boxes:

  • iOS 13 or later — If your iPhone runs iOS 13 or any newer version, you're all set. Not sure which version you have? Head to Settings > General > About and check the "Software Version" line.
  • Stable internet connection — Wi-Fi is ideal for the initial download, but cellular data works fine too.
  • Enough storage space — You need at least 200 MB free on your device. If your phone is packed with photos and apps, clear a bit of room first.

Pro Tips

  • If Buddzy doesn't appear in your search results right away, double-check the spelling. It's B-U-D-D-Z-Y — that Z in there trips people up sometimes.
  • Enable automatic updates in your iPhone settings so you always have the latest version of Buddzy. We push updates regularly with new features and improvements.
  • If the download seems stuck, try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data, or pause and resume the download. Sometimes the App Store just needs a little nudge.
  • Once installed, you'll jump straight into the account creation flow. Have your phone number ready because you'll need it for verification in the next step.

You're literally minutes away from your first Star. Let's go.
