Heart Buddy

My circumstances have changed recently and I am no longer in a position to be able to maintain Heart Buddy.

The app is still currently available on the App Store in case it helps anybody out. If Heart Buddy is important to you, then be wary of any future Apple updates as they may well stop Heart Buddy from working on your device.

Best wishes

Heart Buddy - Quick Introduction

Heart Buddy - Peace of mind and simple to use
