IMPORTANT NOTE:  The chaotic and seemingly random behavior you see when you press the main buttons in HandyHeart is intentional.  This behavior will completely stop once HandyHeart is registered.  Click here to purchase and  register your copy of HandyHeart .

NOTE:  If you are interested in HandyHeart for another platform (e.g. PalmOS devices), please contact HandyMed and indicate your interest.

• HandyHeart will run slowly if you close it every time you are through using it.  HandyMed would strongly recommend you not close HandyHeart when you are through using it.  Simply use the "X" in the top-right corner to hide the program and leave it running, that way it will run MUCH more quickly the next time you need it.  In fact, consider placing a short-cut in your "\Windows\Startup" menu to allow HandyHeart to start each time you perform a soft-reset on your device.
