1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Several tweaks needed. This app should work to sync data amongst my iPad my phone and my watch but doesn’t. I have to choose which one to work with and be near it to enter data. The ability to edit water after the fact because this doesn’t sync amongst the three devices adds to the annoyance. And sometimes the water “meter” does not rest to zero for new day or fasting period. Overall nice app but not worth the money I paid. I’d go freebie version instead. Finally, while I can edit windows, I’m noticing that accuracy is not consistent - reports streaks that are actually far longer than posted … that I find particularly irritating! I have to go in and edit or just accept it believes that I broke I fasting streak when I didn’t. Lagging and odd delays with from one screen to another getting excessive and frustrating!

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Manual says free but won’t work.. It says the manual plan is free but it won’t work. I emailed them and they claimed had to by my phone and that I needed to reset it. I did everything I could on my end but nothing works. It’s an issue with the app.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   STEALING MY MONEY. I did a free trial for this app previously called Fasting by Apalon LLC. The app was deleted and it wasn’t a right match. They now charge me a YEARLY subscription that I cannot cancel because the app is no longer by the same company. Now it is owned by Thriveport. I have no way to cancel because my subscription cannot be found because the app has changed hands, although I have receipts of this app withdrawing $39.99 from my account every year!!! I never get response when emailing and I am TIRED OF IT!!!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Business sketchy practices. I purchased this app years ago, well before subscriptions existed. You’d think the company would appreciate long time customers. Not in the slightest. The app keeps telling me to restore my purchase but when I click the button nothing happens. I’ve emailed the support and I’ve gotten no response.

5. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   at first i lold then i seriousd. love the app but for the past few days when I try to open it the fasting menu n all that is genuinely not there like its jus a blank white screen, I been using the app for a while never had none of these type problems so I hope y’all can fix that soon update: i had to delete the app and lose all my data, OVER A YEAR OF DATA!!!!!!!!! just for it to still NOT WORK. i am genuinely in my feelings. your app has been apart of my daily routine, i open this app multiple times a day EVERY DAY, i am very invested in it. i could’ve seen myself using your app for YEARS if it weren’t for these flaws that y’all clearly have no intent to fix. i see reviews dating back years describing the same problem i’ve experienced. i hope you know how many costumers you are losing from this oversight and how BADLY you are tanking the potential of your app. very frustrating i expect nothing from y’all i will not be using your app moving forward.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Free plan doesn't work. Had the app in the past and it was great, but now I can't even get past the manual plan screen. The "open eating window" and "start fasting" buttons do nothing.

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Free version not working. I cannot get the free version of this app to work! You have the choice of a 12 hr or manual fast and the manual doesn’t work. I’ve had this app in the past, and it worked then but something happened where you can’t get the free version.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Awful. Since you updated it, you messed up your app! It constantly gives network error and does not open the app at all. It has become very bad. I used it every day, now I have to delete it and look for an alternative app.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Do not click on purchase this app!. It does not work and when I realized that after less than 24 hours of trying it, they refused to refund my money charging me for a whole year’s use of the app when I only used it for less than a day. Terrible customer service. I am an older adult and I think this developer is taking advantage of people like me. If the company is even run by human beings. Probably only AI. This app is a trap. DO NOT BUY IT!

10. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Highly disappointed. Being a YouTuber, I’m always looking for great products and businesses to review . unfortunately, I was sadly disappointed with this app and I will never use it again. I canceled my order BEFORE my trial ended and was still charged. I’ve emailed them and still have not received an answer. 10 out of 10 do not recommend there are many other great apps to help with intermittent fasting.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Very disappointing. I just wasted $60 for a yearly subscription. I was of the understanding that you can choose either one of the apps IF plans, or manually enter your own. In fairness you can manually enter your own, but NOT schedule ahead. This is of no use to me. I was hoping for a count down, alerts, motivation, etc for the IF plan that I entered ahead of time. This is not possible and will just be an expensive, useless app that sits phone for the next year.

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Talk about a slow app. I really liked using this app at first. Now it’s the slowest thing I use. I cancelled my subscription because of all the app issues. It takes several seconds to minutes to have the app register your scrolling, moving a window time, accepting a challenge, logging weight, pretty much everything that’s done in the app. I thought it was just my phone but other users have the same experience. Definitely not worth the over $80 charge. There’s other fasting apps out there that are not frustrating to use like this one is.

13. ★★★★★refusing to sync with fitness ecosystems turns 'all-in-one' into an island

    Apple Watch Issue & no support. No matter how long I fast, when I go to end fasting on Apple Watch, it says I’m ending early (“under 12 hours”) and I’ll lose my data. I never fast under 12 hours. I reinstalled and same thing. I emailed for help and was sent an auto response saying sorry, they’re basically not responding to issues at this time lol. WHAT?

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No Support. I contacted the support staff to assist in setting up Alternate Day Fasting. I selected this app because it has a “manual” feature. The response received from them was, “ at this time. Our team won’t be able to prioritize the specific issue you encountered. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.” $40 and they can’t be bothered. Priceless.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    NOT FREE. This app is reviewed as free and states free option, with subscription offer. Paywalls everywhere. Can’t even pick a fasting schedule without being hit up for money. Deleted and back to simple. This is totally garbage. Better free options out there. Keep on searching.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. I purchased a yearly subscription to this last December and canceled soon after because it did not meet my needs. My subscription does not end until December 4th but I woke up today to a pending charge for $39.99. If this does not fall off my account, I will be disputing this with my bank as an unauthorized charge on my account. I am not impressed by this situation.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No cloud backup, so why bother?. Window was a fantastic app before the original developer sold it. Now, the app got so buggy I had to delete and re-install - I lost many months of fasting data because there is no cloud backup. Worthless subscription.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible response to customer service don’t sign up they never respond!!. I have sent 3 emails asking for help no response except auto response that they got the email. I cancelled the app day 2 of 7 cause it was too complicated and I couldn’t get badges to work. Then they try to take $39.99 anyway. Subsequently I keep asking for them to shut this app off i don’t want it and don’t want the subscription and still no response!! I should have trusted my instincts not to try it

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No help. Help button goes nowhere.accidentally pressed end fast and can’t undo

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Useless. Dont pay for it. It has nothing useful

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Harassed me for not having a subscription that I have. My only real complaint about this app is that it will harass you if you turn off auto-renew. I personally turn off auto-renew on all subscriptions so I don’t accidentally forget and unintentionally continue to pay for a subscription I no longer use. I paid for a 1-year subscription to this app, which seems ridiculous because I don’t understand why an app that simply tracks when I’m eating and fasting needs a recurring payment, but whatever. I paid for a year and then turned off auto-renew. It’s been about a week now and every time I open the app I get a pop-up asking me why I ended my subscription that won’t close until I select an answer. I’ve answered it like 5 times this week. Anytime I just want to start my fasting period I get grilled with the same pop up asking me the same question.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t do it. This app is so hard to use. The fasting windows make no sense and no help available. Just a huge waste of money.

23. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Big disappointment. I signed up for a trial subscription but all this app does is just time your periods of eating and fasting. I tried to log onto the website to cancel my subscription but whenever I put in my email and password I get taken to the unsubscribe page. Contacted tech support to get help logging in but got a useless response then no response. Not good.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Absolute Bloatware GARBAGE. Window was one of the first IF journal apps to hit the AppStore. It WAS simple, appealing, helpful and a great value. So the “developers” decided to “fix it”. They bloated it with all this garbage no one wants or needs. Now you are forced to fill out a lengthy questionnaire before you can even see the app itself. Just look at the reviews. Anything from the last 3 years is largely negative. Great job wrecking a good thing!

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t make me give you a life story to use the app. Don’t make me give you a life story to use the app

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor app. You don't know what food to consume daily.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    It’s a good app but…. I paid for the $9.99 monthly subscription and they randomly charged for the yearly. Idk if they’re trying to scam people but this ain’t cool.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app isn’t working for me. I am disappointed. I have been able to figure out some of how this app works but much remains a mystery. There is no help feature or way to ask questions. At this moment it feels like to just wasted $10 and a lot of time and frustration.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashing. App is constantly crashing mid use. Please update.

30. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    No FAQs or tutorial. I downloaded the app to try the 7 day trial, but have no idea what to do with it. Has no information re how to use the app or do a fast. Probably should have educated myself more about intermittent fasting, but had been thinking about doing it without taking any action so hoped that committing to the app would be the motivation I needed. Feel completely lost. Think I need more specific guidance than this app provides.
