An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Daily Fast is a rare minimalist tracker with no subscriptions and no attempt to bloat the feature set. Users come back to it after trying more complex apps. Main weaknesses: notifications can miss and there is no widget.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Best fasting app I've found so far. No subscription, gimmicky groups or unnecessary features. I'd add a fifth star if it had a widget so I would quickly see my time without opening the app.

I enjoy everything about this app, except that there is no audible alert to notify eating window, and fasting start time. It would be nice to hear an alert when I am busy elsewhere.
