Easy Fast Tracker: FastMinder
rating aligns with reviewsThe best value-for-reliability pick in the category. Includes a Watch app, a Mac app with iCloud sync, Live Activities, widgets, and educational fasting stages. A go-to choice for users who left the Life app. The paid barrier at install hurts conversion.
Store average of 4.72 versus text average of 4.06 with pct5 at 66, a moderate gap. Some five-star reviews are emotionally worded but lack specifics, which is typical of loyal users. Criticism is substantive with no signs of manipulation.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
What users love
- Mac plus iOS sync over iCloud is unique in this category. Educational content explaining what your body is doing at each fasting stage. A first-class Watch app with detailed on-screen info.
What users hate
- A paywall hits users on the main screen before they can try anything. The custom notification takes up too much space and is not configurable. Problems entering a future fast start time (the date resets).
Who it is for
Experienced IF practitioners who are invested in the Apple ecosystem (Watch, Mac, iPhone) and already know why they need a tracker. Works well for people running varied protocols including extended fasts.
