What's New in POTS Buddy

1.1.2

October 29, 2026

Fixes in this update: - The Dashboard no longer shows an old heart rate as if it were new. When your watch has not sent a reading, it shows your last reading and how long ago it was. - Today's Heart Rate chart scrolls left and right again, and no longer draws a line across gaps with no readings. - Saved symptoms and triggers show as selected right away when you open a reading. - Smoother watch faces and screens. - Your existing data is unchanged by this update. Thank you for your feedback. It drives every update.

Needs some work

The app seemed ok in the beginning but I am very reluctant on my watch not just to tell time but to tell me battery life, temp outside among other things. This app renders my watch pretty useless to me for the many reasons I use it but the straw that made me delete the app in the middle of the night was it doesn’t respond to sleep focus. It still alerts even if you put it on apps not allowed. And most importantly I need dark to sleep and since it doesn’t respond to sleep focus it doesn’t dim or go dark and run in the background the screen turns on every time you move as if you didn’t use the focus. So I kept waking up and trying to fix it until I got so frustrated I just deleted it from my watch and then this morning deleted the app. This is something I hope the developer can work to fix in future since sleep is very important but also some people do sleep with watches on because there is a much gentler alarm if you use sleep focus and an even more gentle one on your watch plus some people sleep track.

Unlike anything else in the App Store

This is the first app I’ve found that allows me to track my heart rate continuously and tag changes and abnormalities. Essential for finding trends and seeing how treatment is working.

I SO appreciate that it is free, especially in the age of subscriptions. It’s such a wonderful gesture to those of us with chronic illness who are also probably dealing with high medical bills.

I’d love to see a connection to Apple Health for sodium intake and water. I track these in other apps so it would be a quicker integration and would be helpful to see alongside the data.

Overall, I really appreciate that has gone into creating this app. THANK YOU.

Great potential, but needs some fixes

I’ve mostly loved this app so far. It’s pretty straightforward to use and I love being able to track my heart rate fluctuations throughout the day. However, I’ve noticed a few issues with it:
1. The app seems to only remember about 24-48 hours worth of my data. It will show me today’s data and yesterday’s, but then it acts like I don’t have any more data before that. The only way to keep my information is to save it as a PDF every day.
2. Whenever I’m charging my watch, the app registers my heart rate super high the entire time it’s on the charger, even though it shouldn’t even be reading my heart rate.
3. Some of the watch faces are a little buggy and the time is stuck and won’t change.
Again, I enjoy this app and want to continue using it, so I hope these bugs can be fixed soon! Thank you for your time.

Love it so far but…

I am enjoying this app so far, but for whatever reason, running the HR continuously makes my activity/exercise rings think I am in a continuous workout so my numbers are WILDLY inflated. Any work around for this?
