I like it but 2 issues
It’s helped me to maintain my weight and attain mental clarity!
I only have 2 issues.
The first is that there appears to be no option to pay to receive more diversified plans, without getting a coach.
I personally don’t want a stranger advising on my fasting. If I wanted another person involved I’d probably get a life coach or a personal trainer or something.
You know, someone who actually knows me as a person.
Fasting for me is a personal, privately rewarding experience that I don’t want intruded upon by a coach.
I can’t see myself ever paying for this app which is a shame because I do think it’s great and it deserves to make money.
You need to have a paid non coach option with diversified plans available so I can give you my money already!
So what if it would only be a one time purchase for the diversified plans instead of steady monthly revenue for having a coach, isn’t that better than folks simply using the free option because they don’t want a coach?
My other issue is I wish it told you how many hours you have already fasted like it tells you how many hours you have left.
Maybe it does that if you buy a coach?
If so, I guess I’ll never experience that nifty feature.
Other than those two issues, the app is great!
Love this app. But wish you got more for the Coach
Easy to Use
I like the flexibility
“Coach” is useless - except if you have (almost) unlimited flexibility
The app claims that the coaching version is more effective because it prevents the body from getting used to a fasting schedule which would make that fasting schedule ineffective. To the developer team: please post some proper scientific evidence for that strong claim. I wasn’t able to find anything that comes even close.
Recommendation: don’t buy the coaching option. There’s no useful added feature. The free version is ok and, well, its free. 3 stars for that.
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for your feedback. We really appreciate feedback from our users and bring all those suggestions to our development meetings. I'm sure that we can integrate many of those into future versions of the app. We work hard to make BodyFast better and better every day. In the beginning of a Coach subscription it might happen that the Coach suggests fasting plans, that don't fit your everyday life. This is because the algorithm does not have much information about you and your fasting habits, yet (available information increases with every fasting week). + If you don't like the current coach week you can rate it accordingly (too easy / too hard) after finishing or aborting it and the coach will give you a more fitting week in the next plan. + You can also move the fasting periods by pressing the button to change your week layout to fit better into your daily schedule. Of course you can also fast longer if you feel ready for it. But always make sure you rate the week correctly. + You can also always choose from the 50 different fasting plans manually if you want to try a different fasting week plan. The Coach will also calculate the fitting weekly challenges for manually selected weeks. In the current version of our app it is not possible to adjust the lenght of fasting periods. Fasting periods can only be shifted. However, we are working on an update that will allow our users to freely adjust their fasting periods. Kind regards, your BodyFast-Team
A simple change = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Secondly, but of less importance, how about an optional persistent notification that counts down until the fast is over? Or at least a widget? Shouldn’t be too hard to implement, but I think it would serve as a constant reminder, and an easy go-to in case you want to check.
