Lucky Buddies
How does Lucky Buddies match you with people nearby based on your interests?
You pick your hobbies from a list that includes options like trail running, photography, and drone racing, then the app shows you people within a few miles who checked the same boxes. You can also set the location search to only show people within five or ten miles, making it easier to plan in-person meetups.
What are the free messaging limits in Lucky Buddies, and how do they work?
The free version lets you message only a certain number of new people per day, so if you find multiple interesting profiles, you may have to wait until the next day to contact the last one. This limit can be frustrating because you want to reach people while they're still active, but upgrading removes the cap.
Why did my Lucky Buddies app take up over 500 MB of storage, and how can I fix it?
After a month of use, the app can accumulate over 500 MB of cached profile photos and messages. To free up space, you need to manually clear the cache in your phone's app settings.
What should I do if the Lucky Buddies chat freezes while I'm planning a meetup?
If the chat freezes, force close the app and reopen it—your messages should still be there. This bug happens occasionally, but it hasn't been reported to cause data loss.
How does Lucky Buddies compare to other meetup apps like the one that became a ghost town over the summer?
Unlike many meetup apps that show profiles of people far away or become inactive, Lucky Buddies focuses on showing you active users within a few miles who share your specific hobbies. It also has a cleaner interface with no ads, and the group feature actually gets people to show up for events, like a sunrise shoot that drew five people.
