1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not free. Advertised as free, but can’t even get past the home screen without signing up for a subscription, let alone use any functionality.

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

   I cant even use it. I’m so confused?? I can’t even get in because it keeps popping up advertisements. Do you have to pay to use it at all?

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

   RIDICULOUS does not work. This is so frustrating they go for the money grab it does not work you can not set the proper weight it gives you a preset weight not thought No thought into it at all

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Scheduling Not Working. I’m unable to set a time later in the day to start a fast. Whenever I try, it resets back to the current time.

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

   Fix Your UI. I use Calory and love it but the UI on this is lazy. Trying to do the settings and most of the top instruction is cut off. Fix it and I’ll buy it.

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

   Not very user friendly. I downloaded this app because a friend uses it but I am having a hard time figuring it out. Just one example: I need to adjust the goal weight (I didn’t enter it, it was already entered). But I can’t find where to do that. I doubt I’ll keep this app.

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

   Can’t do extended fasting. Limited to 14 days

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Should be free. LIFE app was free and very detailed shouldn’t have to pay for it. This app is good but costs… right now with the economy its hard enough paying bills

9. ★★★★★retention comes not from the timer but the running narration of what your body is doing this…

   Nice app!. This is a great intermittent fasting app. I would like the option to do 36, 48 or 72 hour. I just keep the timer running. I can’t figure out how to use the weekly schedule. The + and - don’t respond to my touch. The date scroll keeps going back to the day the fast started. 🤷‍♀️

10. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great, Well Polished App!. I tried a lot of fasting apps, and this one just feels so well polished and fun to use. I hope they add tracking for ketones and blood glucose, that’s the only complaint I have. Other than that, it’s great!

11. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Cool App but…. Overall a good app to track fasting and stats. Which the customize option allowed for tracking “eating window” or daily flexibility. But overall not bad.

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

    Bummed. I don’t appreciate the platform changing that I have to pay for features I enjoyed for free like creating a custom fast. Total bummer.

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

    Totally worth it. I love how it lets me stay on track with my fasting routine without overthinking it and the simple design makes the whole process feel easy.

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

    Best fasting app across devices. This app has a gorgeous interface and is the only one that I’m aware of that has Mac and iOS apps and sync the status of the fasts across iCloud. Ultimately, the multi-device feature of this app is what drove me to it. If Apple were to build a fasting app, it would look like this.

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Yogi bear. 5 stars

16. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Amazing app; much better than competing fasting trackers. There are dozens of different fasting trackers on the App Store, and I have tried most of them. This one, by far, is my favorite. First requirement: app has to offer a Watch app. FastMinder has it, many don’t. Second requirement: Watch app has to be clean, easy to use, and provide detail about fasting status and water intake. FastMinder has it, many don’t. Interface: the FastMinder interface is clean and easy to use, and is filled with easy to understand and help statistics. It’s not cluttered with unnecessary features like calorie tracking. Personally, I’m not taking a picture of my food and tracking every single calorie I put in my body. If you want that, this develop has another app for that. Me, I don’t want it and appreciate that it’s not in this app. Water and weight tracking: this app also allows you to track water and your weight loss along your journey. Bottom line, this app is fantastic and extremely helpful.

17. ★★★★★retention comes not from the timer but the running narration of what your body is doing this…

    Best balance of all the fasting apps. Edit: New feature request - please allow us to customize the notifications or just simplify them. The 30 min and final notifications are just way too long. Please just add a simple “fast starts in 30 mins” or “fast is ended.” The current notifications are pretty annoying, take up too much space, have unnecessary emojis, and make me want to turn them off. This is the best fasting app for iOS that balances features with price. It doesn’t have as many features as some of the overpriced subscription-only apps but has more features and is more informative than the very basic cheap fasting apps. The fasting guide and percentage/timer makes it easier to maintain a fast because you can see what fasting phase you’re in - definitely helps motivate you when you’re feeling really hungry but see you’re in a good fat burning phase. I also like how it incorporates weight tracking and sleep. I have 2 minor requests that would make this app perfect in my opinion: 1. Specify days of the week for fasting. I usually aim for 6-7 days a week of fasting but would like the option to skip some Friday or Saturday nights without seeming like I missed my goal when it’s a planned skip in the fasting schedule. 2. Allow us to set a target water goal that we can “hit” and don’t need to add more water. I aim for the 67 oz at least on here but since you can go above it I feel obligated to keep adding water so the amount is accurate. I’d rather just have the option to specify the minimum water target was hit and that’s it.

    Great Fasting App!. I’ve been fasting for a couple of years now. I was using the paid version of the Life app, but when they shut down, I had to find a replacement. I tried a bunch of apps and even paid for a few that I will never use 🤦‍♀️ This app was the winner. I like the simplicity of it and without all of the “extras” that I don’t need. I like the Watch app and complication, I like the phone widget and the lock screen live activity. One plus is that I no longer get messages from creepy dudes like I did on the Life app 😂 The only thing I wish it had, like Life app did, was a fasting schedule. I was able to set a schedule such as fast 16:8 Monday through Friday and 12:12 on Saturday and Sunday. It’s not a deal breaker and it’s easy to switch fasting out with one tap, so not a huge deal. I also like this developer’s app, FitnessView and use the widget on my phone and complication on my watch. I highly recommend both apps.

    Great Replacement/Option For Life App. I’ve loved incorporating fasting into my everyday life for a number of years now. And have used the Life app from the beginning. Since the Life app has shut down I've been searching for as good or better replacement for both shorter & longer fasts. Life app was free & I loved the features for a free app. None of the free fasting apps I’ve tried have come even close to Life. But FastMinder comes the closest and even offers more although for a fee. But I would rather pay a reasonable charge for something as good or better than have something inferior for free. I’ve been using it for 3 days now. Like Life, FastMinder does delve into what’s happening with each step of your fast and actually broken down even more with FastMinder. This is good. Also, I can easily start and end a fast whenever I like. Also good. One feature I do really miss from the Life app is a + / - toggle beside the active fast to easily add or subtract as many hours as you want to your current fast. Also, strange thing for every fast so far, if I start at say 7:15 pm in evening and go to 1:15 pm next day…. FastMinder records as 17 hours 59 minutes instead of the true 18 hours completed. Should be easy enough to fix. So long review…. but overall a good app so far and comparable replacement for Life. Worth the cost!

    Honoring God with your body. Are you fat and want a sure victory in the looks department? Try a 72 hour fast. Never fasted before? Try a 6 hour window and fast for 18 hours while you sleep. Fasting every day as a daily routine spikes ketones in the blood stream which melts fat away. Fasting also cause autophagy of the body, which detoxifies the cells and renews your entire body. The bible may renew the mind by reading it but fasting renews the body, by not eating. Make sure you take vitamins and minerals while fasting and drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated. You'll feel like a true winner once it's all over.

    Great app, great support. I love this fasting app. It does everything right. Simple, clean, widgets, live activities, and more. The developers are also very responsive. I really recommend this app.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    I have been intermittent fasting for decades and this is what I have been looking for. The timer is great. Widgets and watch apps. The education of what happens at each stage is awesome. This has everything I want and need to manage and track my fasting.

23. ★★★★★retention comes not from the timer but the running narration of what your body is doing this…

    Excellent fasting app. FastMinder stands out amongst the crowd of apps allowing the tracking of intermittent fasting, because it doesn’t try to charge silly money for what is ultimately a simple thing to do. It’s straightforward, but detailed analysis of where your body is likely to be during your fast works well and encourages you to stick with your fast. However, it would be great if the app also tracked the impact of exercise on your fasting stages. Latest research shows the significant impact active calory burn has on the body’s fat burning ability. So the addition of this as a feature would make this great app even better.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. I went off track working long hours and generally forgetting when too eat and not eat since I got the app I have maintained a streak going 17 hrs ave like the simplicity of the app very easy to learn and has great information

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

    Love this app. This is really great at keeping me on track - and it’s not expensive like some of the other apps that do the same thing 😃

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

    The best!. I’ve tried a lot of fasting apps and this one is hands down the best so far. Thank you for not charging a ridiculous amount of money for what is essentially a countdown, the price is perfectly reasonable! I like the ways it integrates with the health app & the design is beautiful.

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

    Finally!. A fasting app that is fairly priced, pack the latest Apple technologies like Dynamic Island, has a good Apple Watch app, but most importantly isn’t a data guzzler sending my data to some server unnecessarily. The apps by this developer are always so well thought out.

28. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    A really simple amazing app. Absolutely love the simplicity of the app. It’s straightforward and easy to use with a great design.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Superb design layout.. Love the design and overall appeal of the app. Clear, apparent information, and accurate. Simplicity at its finest. Probably missing a share with friends option and fasting leader boards.

30. ★★★★★stable and reliable performance

    Amazing for Fasting. What a great app to track casting. Developer is very reliable too updating apps.
