Great way to kick start a healthier you!!
I was in a real rut and after a period of being pretty good exercise and diet wise had gone down hill over a period of a year or so to the tune of 2 stone and a whole lot of BMI!! I tried kicking starting my old tried and tested methods but just couldn’t get into the swing again until my daughter recommended this app and it just clicked for me - only a couple of weeks in and feeling really good - there’s so much going on in the app and so much encouraging info available around the benefits of the fast period and how to deal with the not so easy days that it almost distracts from any difficult periods. I have to say I’m calorie counting during the non fasting hours and I’m not going bonkers with treats, there again I’m not nibbling rabbit food either. I would recommend you keep in control of your calorie intake and choose wisely and take note of the prompts and lessons included in the app because although it says you can eat most things in moderation if you go down the 3 mars bars a day route fasting isn’t going to save you - all in all it’s worked for me and gave me the kick start to get back in control - highly recommended - a big thumbs up 👍👏

Thanks for the great review! It means a lot to hear that you were able to get back on track through using the Fastic App. Happy fasting!
Fantastic!!!
I don’t normally like subscription based apps but I got an amazing offer and I thought, why not? It’s time to get serious about my health and fitness and I think it was a sign for me to make this change.
I am so glad I subscribed because this app is so easy to navigate and use. I love the library section and the large selection of recipes which you can adjust the filters to show you vegan only or gluten free recipes!!
I used to use a leading fitness diary which was great at counting marcos and such but I needed something to be more than just a food and exercise diary.
Thank you so much for creating this app. Keep up the good work!!! 💕💕

Nothing you can’t figure out for yourself
I MUST start out by saying I have never left a detailed rating for an app before this one. It’s usually a star rating if at all. I felt it was my duty to comment on this one.
I downloaded this app because I had been doing intermittent fasting for over a year. I thought the fasting counter was great (which is why the one star) so when an offer for a 3 month membership at a discounted rate appeared I was all in.
Outside of the fasting tracker there is nothing impressive about what you get for your membership. I can’t even choose low carb as a diet option so the recipes don’t apply to me. Also, I cannot seem to locate the body fat analysis page at all.
All I can say is... thank goodness it was only $20.
Don’t waste your money.

Just started, but I’ve already lost weight
I picked a difficult level from the get go (fast 6:30pm-12:30pm). It’s hard for me right now, but getting easier by the day. The app helps you track and reminds you to drink water, which I really need. It gives you daily challenges like “eat a handful of nuts to break your fast.” There are exercise challenges and it counts your steps. It gave me nutrition selections and recipes for vegetarians because I was able to select that option. If you forget to hit the button that you are fasting or done, then you can retroactively change it. It adjusts fasting times for you. I started at 6:10 pm last night so I fast until 12:10pm today. I’m using this for weight loss and 3 days in, I’ve lost 3-4 pounds. I have also stopped using artificial sweeteners, part of a challenge. Everyday, it gives you a lesson into intermittent fasting and they are interesting. I also don’t feel like my migraines are any worse with this. I don’t feel sluggish or foggy. So, only a few days in, but totally recommend this! I’m also pleased it’s helping me make better choices (like no artificial sweeteners in drinks and eating more nuts/dried fruit to feel satiated.

We greatly value your feedback. Thanks so much!
Polished, but not perfect.
This is a very polished app and for some people, I can see it being well worth using - both free and paid version. For myself, it feels simultaneously too ‘pestering’ and inflexible. The daily list of tasks, including menu suggestions that I’m not interested in, just feel like filler. The fasting timer is good but due to my work/lifestyle, I can’t fast in reliably scheduled windows. I may have a day with only 8 hours fast and then one with 20 hours. It can be discouraging to break ‘streaks’ over and over despite overall improvement in intermittent fasting, health and weight loss. I can break a fast and be told I have only an hour before my next fast begins. I also find the ‘glasses of water’ measurement to be a bit confusing because I drink it by the bottle and don’t know how they measure glasses in ml.
It is a good app, polished like I said, but I’m not sure it’s for me.

Thanks a lot for your review!
The only app that has really helped me lose weight
Fastic has far exceeded my expectations. There are so many features that this app includes. It’s amazing. You simply enter in when you start fasting, enter the length that you want to fast every day and you’re pretty much set! There are also challenges that the app encourages you to do every day. When you are fasting there is a timer that tell you how long you have left to fast and what is happening to your body in detail while you’re fasting. After you press the stop fasting button it’s shows you up in the top right corner how long you’ve fasted and it shows in the top middle how many days you’ve fasted. If you ate 30 minutes past the time you were supposed to stop, that’s okay! You can change what time you stopped eating or even when you stopped fasting! I’ll always recommend this amazing app and I’ll be using it until the app is gone! It’s not only good for losing weight, fasting helps get rid of bad toxins in your body. Who wouldn’t want an app that helps you be more healthy? This app is definitely worth it. Go for it! Get this app for a better healthier lifestyle.

Wow. Thank you so much for your amazing review.
Fastic great app
I gained in weight a year ago. I'm 5’0, and I have been skinny all my life until my hormone starting kicking off a year ago. I have always been active, but since I'm getting a little bit, older. I'm getting lazy. My knees aren't healthy like it used too, plus also I got married since then my weight got out of control. I gain 20 pounds I used to be 110 now 130. However, I decide to pay for this app to help me reach my goal and learn to control my eating habits. So far I'm thrilled because I started on Monday and today is Wednesday I have lost 3pounds which I weight now 127 until I reach my goal I won't stop. There is a lot of support, great lessons and community support as well I have joined the Facebook fastic community, and there people giving you advice. Don't hesitate to give a try so far it works. Also, this app provides you a receipt for healthy food, and there is a lot another great thing they provide. Try you won't be disappointed. However, you need to be very strong, willing not to be tempted. Good luck.

Great App Minus Community Chat
I loved this app! That is until my second day when I got into the community chat portion. I had a few questions about intermittent fasting, so I decided to give the group chat a try. I was instantly bullied, cussed at, and so were others who were trying to use the app for (shocker) intermittent fasting! I was then told to get off the group chat if I wasn’t going to “act sexy” or socialize on it. Then I was told I should not be on there for fasting questions. The horrible part (to make matters even worse) was that some of their employees were also involved in the inappropriate chat sessions. Nevertheless, I made my complaint and was only told they were “sorry” for my inconvenience. I wouldn’t pay half of the money that they are charging for this app to be bullied and cussed at. Truth is it’s a half decent app, if you’re willing to put up with the above crap and don’t mind paying for not being able to have full usage of it. I don’t think I will be renewing my membership at the end of the month. There are a tons of decent fasting apps for half the price.

I’ve fasted before, and I will fast again
I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 5-6 months now, about a month before quarantine, and this app is good at what it says it will do.
As mentioned before, I’ve been fasting for a few months now, and I have very rarely broken the fast. I’m going to say only a handful of times in special situations, but it was always hard to remember the exact hours I would begin fasting. This app is great with keeping track of how long I’ve been fasting, and the feature of it alerting when the fasting is over is great as well. I don’t upgrade from the free version because honestly I just need something to help me track, and that’s exactly what this is. I’m aware I use it as a glorified stop-watch basically, but it meets all the needs I have in an app about tracking my fasting periods.
I love the way that everything on the app is easily accessible and I can flip between screens as efficiently as I need too between breaks at work and whatnot. I love the little information that is given, even if it’s super basic information. It’s great as what it advertises to do, and it doesn’t make its advertisements all about the upgraded features that a lot of people don’t like to buy into.
It’s a neat little app that is user friendly and I will be using for at least another month before I go back to college and get thrown off the routine. Keep up the good work guys!

Can’t wait for updates to happen in certain areas
It would be fantastic if the free version gave more. I’m thinking on paying for the Fastic plus subscription but I don’t understand why people that don’t want to pay for premium features miss out on so much, like in the info for the app it says that the nutrition coach is there to help you but it’s not! If I want any healthy recipes I have to pay for it when you clearly advertised that you give healthy recipes.
And another thing that would be great would be if the app synced to the Fitbit app as I have a Fitbit and do so many steps a day but it doesn’t count, the only way it counts steps is if you use the health app and carry your phone with you every step you take, which isn’t how I walk all day, most of the day I have my phone sitting somewhere and miss out on getting the steps just because I don’t want to have to hold my phone constantly as I’m doing anything and everything. So it would be greatly appreciated if you could fix these minor issues then I would be 100% happy.
