1. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

   Not so great. Can’t change times w/o starting all over again. Notifications are spotty at best. Too many quirks to rely upon.

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

   Countdown timer doesn’t work. When you open the app (after you’ve set it up), the timer will be displayed. It doesn’t work. Mine opened to 18:60 and didn’t change while the app was open. Also, why did it say 18:60? Isn’t that the same as 19:00?

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

   Didn’t like it after all. I wanted a fasting app that I didn’t have to press “start fast” and “stop fast” on. This was that app. However, on one occasion I began my fast later than usual. I attempted to adjust my start time the next morning. I found that I could not alter the prior days time. I could only edit “today’s time”. So, on a 16:8 fast if I entered a 2-hour later eating window for “today” because I began my fast 2 hours later the prior evening, this app would calculate that I had fasted for 18 hours because I could not adjust the start time from the prior evening. After this happened I tried to completely end fasting on this app. I couldn’t. Selecting “I don’t want to fast today.” set a timer for a 29 hour eating window which means it was going to begin my next fast rather than completely stop it. There was no way for me to completely end fasting on this app. The only other option this app gives is to select a different fasting plan. You can turn off notifications but that’s not enough. It’s still running, logging fasting days based on the plan you selected. Once you start using this app, there is no “off” button. After realizing this app is like a runaway train, I decided to delete it.

   Very disappointed. For sure it’s free I don’t know what to do with this app 😄

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

   Limited. This app does not allow you to fast for more than 24 hours. I deleted it 30 seconds after I downloaded it because of that. I want to be able to manually set my fasts, and I want to be able to fast for longer than 24 hours.

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

   Doesn’t work. Really liked the look of this app would have done the job beautifully but no matter what I did it would always show my eating window starting at 12am!

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

   Will not notify. Worked great first week now does nothing

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

   Just one suggestion. Like the app, but perhaps using verbiage other than “feeding window” as if I were a horse (or worse) would be a bit more gentle. Just sayin. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🐮 🐷 🐴 🐑

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

   Instructions. I’ve not been able to read how to use this app. Where are the instructions?

10. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Simple. I like that it is simple and no IAP but I am not receiving my notifications...Can someone help with this?

11. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unclear. I am unclear about the progress being made and what the goal of the program is.

12. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Audible alert please. 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.

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Simple, free and best of all it collects ZERO personally identifiable data. Best fasting app I’ve found so far. No subscription, gimmicky groups (No, I don’t want to share my eating habits on social media 🙄) 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.

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Simple and what I needed. If there was a widget you could add to your Home Screen i would pay for that 100%. Could be a great way to monetize the app and pay to unlock it! Just want a daily visual with a countdown

15. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Good and simple. Very good app. Simple to use not overly complicated with fasting theory or guidance. Good for the novice and experienced faster. Would like to see better end and start notifications, but otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing!!

16. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Eat or don’t. Super easy to use. You’re either eating or you’re not. No fancy tracking and the best part is no IAPs. I would like to see better support for the notifications though. I don’t seem to get the one that’s supposed to tell me when I have 1hr/30min left to feast. I would also like to see one that lets me know before I get to eat! Would definitely give 5 stars if that is fixed!

17. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Love it, but am not receiving notifications. I really like this app. It is simple and easy to use, and not cluttered up with a lot of other stuff that just gets in the way, like other fasting apps that I’ve tried. But, even though I have the settings in Daily Fast set to receive notifications an hour before my fasting/eating windows close, I am not receiving those notifications. Also, for some strange reason this app does not show up in my iPad (iOS) settings anywhere, including the Notifications category. So I am not able to set up the ability to receive notifications from Daily Fast there either. I was also unable to contract the app owner (Travis Ma) to get any help. I clicked on App Support, but there was no real way to contact him.

18. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Good app for tracking your fast. This app is so easy to use and straight to the point. I wish I could customize my fasting by day to change the number of hours I want to do in the middle of the week.

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Easy, simple, free. Great and flexible for a beginner

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    More options would be nice. I like that this app keeps track of my fast and has a timer on my eating window. It would be nice if there were options to customize or personalize the color and/or theme.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Werid clock after day one. I downed yesterday I love that the app is just a timer without all the other stuff but day two and the clock only has two numbers and the dots are blinking and there’s an extra 3 on the bottom .. it’s stressing me out lol please help

22. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Fasting Reminder. This app helps me remember when my window is open to eat and to fast, plus it gives me a 30 minute warning to eat a snack before my fasting starts in the evening. The fasting time is adjustable and I’ve lost 10 pounds using this app as of January , 2026. Give it a try, it has helped me.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great and Simple Fast app. No subscriptions, no bogus additional offerings. Just a simple fasting app

24. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Perfect. This app is exactly what I was looking for—simple, straightforward, no unnecessary bells and whistles, no calorie counting…Love it. Relieved to finally find a no-frills IF timer!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love it!. Super simple, nothing extra needed. EXACTLY what I was looking for!

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Perfect in is simplicity and practicality. Really enjoy how easy it is. Things like this don’t need to be complicated or have an endless amount of customization and features. It’s perfect, that simple.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Exactly what I’ve been looking for. No extra frills, just a simple repeating timer with a widget. I am slightly offended that dev doesn’t want to hear about my dreams and aspirations though

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    This is it. This is the app I’ve been looking for! Function over all the money-making shenanigans. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

29. ★★★★★stable and reliable performance

    Try clean and simple. No frills or needless bells and whistles, o insane diet plans, just a simple timer app that does exactly what it says. Finally 👍…

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Simple simple simple. If you are a fan of simplicity and you like having the extra nudge to let you know when to start and stop eating, this is the app for you.
