Redeem your HealthBuddy code

Got a code from us — a tester code, a giveaway, a thank-you? It takes about thirty seconds. Codes are redeemed through the App Store on your iPhone, and Premium then unlocks itself inside HealthBuddy.

Before you start

  • Use an iPhone or iPad — codes cannot be redeemed on a Mac or on the web.
  • Be signed in to the Apple Account you normally buy apps with. The code unlocks Premium for whichever Apple Account redeems it.
  • Install HealthBuddy first if you have not already — the redeem screen is friendlier when the app is already there.

The fast way — one tap

  1. Open the redeem link on your iPhone

    The message with your code contains a link that looks likeapps.apple.com/redeem?…. Tap it on the iPhone itself — not on a laptop. It opens the App Store directly on the redeem screen with the code already filled in.

  2. Tap Redeem

    Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple Account password. That is the whole thing.

  3. Open HealthBuddy and sign in

    Premium is already active. If you were staring at the Premium screen when you redeemed, pull it down or reopen the app.

Typing the code in by hand

No link, or the link opened on the wrong device? Enter the code manually.

  1. Open the App Store app

    The blue “A” icon on your iPhone — not HealthBuddy.

  2. Tap your profile photo

    Top right corner of the screen.

  3. Tap “Redeem Gift Card or Code”

    Then choose “Enter Code Manually” rather than the camera.

  4. Type or paste the code

    Codes are uppercase letters and digits, no spaces and no dashes. Paste it if you can — it is easy to confuse 0 and O. Then tap Redeem.

Already have the app open?

HealthBuddy can bring up the same App Store sheet without you leaving the app:

  • Profile → Settings → Use promo code
  • or the Redeem code link at the bottom of the Premium screen

Both open Apple's redemption sheet, where you paste the code. Redemption always happens on Apple's side — we never see your code or your Apple Account.

What happens when the free period ends

An offer code starts a real subscription that is free for the promotional period. When that period is over it renews at the normal price unless you cancel.

To cancel: iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → HealthBuddy → Cancel Subscription. You keep Premium until the free period actually runs out, so cancelling straight after redeeming costs you nothing — it just means you will never be charged.

If something goes wrong

Where do I enter a HealthBuddy promo code?

Offer codes are redeemed through the App Store, not inside HealthBuddy. The quickest route is the redeem link that came with your code — open it on your iPhone and tap Redeem. You can also open the App Store app, tap your profile photo in the top right, tap “Redeem Gift Card or Code”, then “Enter Code Manually”.

Can I redeem the code on a Mac or a PC?

Redeem it on the iPhone or iPad signed in to the Apple Account you use for HealthBuddy. A code redeemed on a different Apple Account unlocks Premium for that account, not yours.

I redeemed the code but the app still shows the paywall.

Open the Premium screen in HealthBuddy and tap “Restore purchases”. If it still does not unlock, make sure you are signed in to HealthBuddy with the same account you used before, and that the Apple Account in App Store settings is the one you redeemed with. Force-quitting and reopening the app also refreshes the subscription state.

What happens when the free period ends?

The subscription continues at the regular price unless you cancel. You can cancel at any time in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → HealthBuddy, and you keep Premium until the free period runs out — cancelling early does not shorten it.

The code says it is invalid or already used.

Each code works once, on one Apple Account. Check for a typo — codes are uppercase letters and digits with no spaces — and make sure the code has not expired. If it still fails, email us and we will send a fresh one.

Do I need a payment method on file?

Yes. Apple sets up a real subscription that happens to be free for the promotional period, so your Apple Account needs a valid payment method even though nothing is charged during the free weeks.

Still stuck? Write to support@gethealthbuddy.com with the code you were given and we will sort it out — usually the same day.
