Heart Buddy

It seems like a simple and great app that’s also practical for everyday use, I’ve downloaded a bunch of apps already and none seem to work for me so I’m hoping that this one does! It seems to be working really well but it’s having trouble connecting to my Apple Watch.

This app is so helpful, so clear, so intuitive, and so elegantly designed. In just using it for two days I have already learned valuable things about what makes my heart rate fluctuate and have some ideas how to keep it calmer. I’m amazed and grateful for the talent, skill, and insight of the designer and of his generosity in making it available free to all. I think it will help so many people who aren’t located where they can easily access specialized medicine, can’t afford it, or don’t have time to locate it and get to it often. This app provides immediate information on how your heart is behaving so you can see what’s going on better and what seems to help and what doesn’t. I looked for a link to provide a tip and there wasn’t one. If the developer is ever again in a position to maintain the app, I’m sure many users would be happy to donate towards its upkeep in appreciation for how it has helped them! I would!

I’ve downloaded dozens of apps looking for just one that will monitor my heart rate without having to look at my phone. It’s incredibly distracting and dangerous to have to look at my phone every five seconds to see ifI’m in my heart rate zone. Heart Buddy allows you to simply set an alert for your high and low HRs. Then you get an audible alert if you go above or below that range. Simple. Effective. I had trouble connecting my Polar chest strap at first, but another user solve the problem by removing the battery and replacing it. That also worked for me.
