Heart monitoring and alarms

Features & Capabilities

Heart Buddy continuously monitors your heart rate and raises alarms for high or low values. It supports external BTLE sensors (such as Wahoo TickR Fit and Polar) and can be controlled remotely over Wi‑Fi to overcome Bluetooth range limits.

Data is saved on-device with optional cloud sync, and heart rate charts let you review patterns over time. You can share charts with family or healthcare professionals, set alarms for battery and signal loss, and use the Heart Zones feature to stay informed at a glance. The app can also connect to a Bluetooth speaker so alarms can be heard remotely in the home.

User Reviews

Heart Buddy is praised for real-time HR monitoring, simple setup, a free model, and audible alerts with easy data export. The main drawbacks are wearable compatibility, with recurring reports of Apple Watch pairing problems and limited support for external sensors. Overall, it’s user-friendly and effective for alarms, but needs broader device support to reach its full potential.

Pros

Real-time heart-rate monitoring with customizable high/low alarms.
Easy to use and free (no subscription).
Audible alerts that work reliably, including when the phone is off.
Data export options for sharing HR data.

Cons

Connectivity issues with wearable devices, especially Apple Watch (pairing/connection problems).
Limited compatibility with external sensors (e.g., Polar chest strap and OT Beat Burn).

It’s a great app for heart rate tracking. I love the alarm feature and alerts even work when your phone is turned off unlike so many other heart monitor apps on the App Store. Many other apps won’t even allow for alerts. This is definitely a superior app!

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.
