Really good app - has some glitches
The app is really simple, encouraging, and good.
But if I decide to do a full day fast, it goes nuts. Let’s say I fast for 30 hours, the extra hours (after the day has finished) don’t go into the next day.
I’m still fasting, 145h and counting, and when it got to 144hs, it crashed. And the counter stopped, and displayed that I only fasted for 80 hours. So i had to manually change it it 143:59 (tho im still fasting).
When editing fasts you have start and end, but there should be a checkbox that reads IM STILL FASTING as well

Thanks a lot for your review!
Big Fat Exit!
I was determined to nail this intermittent fasting because I want to shift the stubborn pounds of fat that have crept around my body. I have never been overweight in a serious way but with the advancing years a coating of fat has settled and has proved impossible to shift. Time for a much more radical approach, in terms of changing some life long and in some cases, bad habits. Building new habits, exercising some self discipline and determination. Apart from weight loss the other benefits for the brain and the heart IF is the way to go. The FASTIC app is an excellent app, it has been a source of bite sized facts and information that encourages you to continue in the knowledge you are doing good things for you body and your brain and I will continue with this way of eating - losing weight is an incidental benefit. Thankyou FASTIC for the support and encouragement.

Not what I expected
I like what this app does as it has guided me to the loss of 8lbs in only 7 days. It keeps me on task and makes fasting easier as it reminds you for certain goals. However, what I do t like is the constant pressure and reminders to join the Fastic Plus Subscription. If I wanted to do that I would, but I don’t so quit reminding me of something I don’t want! There should be a settings option to remove Fastic Plus from this app. That way I and others can fast in peace until we decide we want to join Fastic Plus. With that said there are other Fasting Apps and I’m now going to try some of them. Fastic team please make the option to block Fastic Plus reminders from the app or I will be deleting this app and using another.
Update: This app has been deleted from my devices. CONSTANT reminders to buy the premium was enough, but the worst is that you have to always enter start and stops daily and if you don’t this app has a bug where you edit your fasts it won’t save your edited fast. I’m done with this German crap! I’ve gone to SUNRISE! It is simple and it works!!! CYA!!!

I’ve found success with this app!
I have tried 16:8 Intermittent fasting on my own before and even though the concept is so easy, I totally failed. And this is coming from someone who was a pretty thoughtful and healthy eater, and then toddlers happened. I found it difficult to keep an eye on my fasting/eating windows on my own bc I also was juggling two other schedules.
But this app changed that completely. So easy, it’s really positive and motivating (you never feel defeated which I think is such an important aspect of reaching a goal), there’s so much more you can utilize out of it as far as additional habits, and you can go back and edit your times bc sometimes life takes us away from our phones but we still met our goals.
I’ve lost weight, I drink wayyyyyy more water, and feel really good and it’s 100% bc of this app. PS I bought another app a week before this one and so glad I decided to ditch that one for this one!

Easy To Use
I started using the app almost 2wks ago. I used the free version and thought I’d give that a try first before upgrading to the Plus version. I just upgraded today. It’s worth it. I like how it reminds you to drink your water and tacks it , has a built in step tracker and “education corner “ where there is a few courses to learn. There is also a menu with what looks like 100 or more recipes. Tips & recipes on what to eat when breaking fast.
Track your weight and your progress with this app.
I really like that it will tell you what process your body is undergoing at certain points of time during the fast. Very interesting and cool app.
I’m sticking with my fast and while I’ve not gotten on scale yet to weigh in , I can tell I’m feeling much better and my clothes are looser. It’ll be easier to get into the habit of eating when I’m actually hungry (which I’m not during fast ) Vs eating out of boredom and this app helps with that. If you serious about changing your health , give it a try. The free version is great as is. I just wanted to explore a bit more and got the Plus version . Either is good. Do it!

Thank you for your great feedback, it’s invaluable to us.
Track your fasting
I have been intermittent fasting for a few years and have always wondered when I was entering autophagy and hated remembering when I started fasts or would often have a snack cause I thought I was faster “a decent while”. This app allows you to track exactly when you start, when you should stop, lets you know when you enter each stage, allows you to easily adjust the schedule and ratio you want, and most of all having the timer gives you that little bit of encouragement we all need. If you only have an hour to autophagy which makes your body younger and then just a couple to get maximum benefit, it is easier to stay the course. Even as an old pro at fasting I have found this app very useful if you are considering or are doing fasting, or simply want to age slower or look and feel younger, this app is for you.

Encouraging and Educational!
I am really enjoying this app. The daily education and reminders of what good I am doing for my body as I fast keeps me encouraged and motivated. The “rewards” of stars and more are nice as well though I don’t really understand what to do with them, LOL!
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that a longer fast (36 hours, for instance) is not yet available BUT when I asked support about this I got a quick reply saying it will be available in a future update. I completed my longer fast anyway and the app did ask a couple times if I was still fasting and let me say yes so ultimately the whole fast was tracked. Yea!
When I entered my initial goal into the app it gave me a possible timeline to reach that goal using a 16:8 plan, but I can no longer find that possible date, or see if it changes as my goal (fat loss for me) is achieved. Regardless, I am seeing progress and I am happy!

Simple and effective
I struggle with eating whenever I feel like and overeating. I’m an above average size fellow frame wise at 6”1 and have always teetered between being in and out of shape. Sweet are a love I’m sure many of us share.
I also smoke pot which give me heavy cravings of any kind of food. I used to be able to fast for several days at a time in my 20s when I was at peak performance. I’ve struggled in my 30s to maintain this level of focus.
This little app has given me a goal and a schedule to follow. So far it’s only been 3 days but I’ve hit 16 + hour fasts each day in a row and I feel great. I haven’t ate before I sleep at night during this streak and that’s always been key for me personally.
So for me, the app has a simple interface and is educational enough for me to feel like I see why I’m doing what I’m doing. It works for me try it.
So far I feel better. I hope you do as well..🥰

Buyer beware, Glitchy and deceptive marketing
I am an avid TRF/IF fan for therapeutic reasons, not just weight management. A friend of mine ask for help on the app, so I downloaded it, pretty straight forward, not difficult to use, limited capabilities. The main thing it does is bug you to upgrade constantly and say there is a 3 month guarantee. I went ahead and signed up for a year to see if it was worth it and if I should recommend the upgrade to my friends or the app to other IF enthusiasts, it doesn’t say conditional refund, but it certainly is. READ THE FINE PRINT. Conditional refund based upon daily use for 90 days, putting your weight in weekly and not losing 3% of your weight. So it is not a refund at all. You can not actually fast on schedule for 90 days and not lose 3% of your body weight. So perhaps there is some value in the free side of this, but paying anything is a waste of money, with no satisfaction guarantee. The help center is not in English. They do not have an Apple Watch app, which would be helpful, clearing up the crash instances would be good. It does not connect to Apple health other than for steps, so you must manually enter weight to track progress. It does not conform to CCPA and GDPR standards. So using the Free side, might be helpful, but there are many alternatives out there, that do not harass for upgrade. Good Luck, You have been warned.

Two weeks in with positive results!
During the pandemic I managed to control my weight through exercise but I desperately need to lose and couldn’t, no matter how hard I tried. Figured I’d give this app a shot. Just in the first few days I noticed I was sleeping so much better! Within 10 days I had dropped 3 lbs! I don’t find it too difficult to fast 16 hours. I begin my fast immediately after dinner, usually around 5:30 or 6:00. I’m drinking more water, and in my feeding window I pretty much eat what I want for meals. No time for snacking, which is good for me. Still able to get in all 3 meals. Breakfast around 10 lunch at 1:30 and dinner at 5:00. I am saving my “frosties” for special days when we are able to eat out again. I am hoping the weight loss continues. It is so encouraging to see the scale move in the right direction!
