Only one thing missing
I love this app. So much interaction and the daily lessons are great at keeping me focused and accountable. I also love the time tracker with added info what your body is doing each stage of fasting. The only suggestion is maybe adding a food diary! One where you could input what you’ve eaten and how many calories perhaps to track when you’ve gone over recommended daily count? That would make this app a complete all in one tracking device. At the moment I use fitness pal and this so would be handy to have both incorporated? Otherwise I love the app and will continue to use! Thanks!

Basically an accountability aid and a spoon-feed textbook, in a good way
I like that the user has to go in and press “start” and “finish” for fasting periods. Just that little manual confirmation helps add so much weight to the commitment. Turns out, it’s easy to not eat potato chips at 10pm after pushing a button saying I won’t. So this cognitive model works well for me. I also like that there is a daily weight tracker function, as well as little lessons which explain the science behind fasting-driven metabolism in an easy-to-understand way.
This app doesn’t have too many features, but most of them are very practical and helpful. My one suggestion is breaking daily goals down even more, like “did you eat wholesome for lunch today” or “list three occasions where someone helped you today” or “How many times did you say thank you?” Getting into that positive mindset can benefit from smaller but more frequent reinforcement.

Fastic way of loosing weight
Great way for me to loose weight no counting calories and easy for me to stick to because you have a “window” every day that you can eat as normal , still have a long way to go but feel confident that I can achieve my goal 👍

Thank you very much for your feedback!
Fastic is good but needs improvement
So I’ve been on here for a couple of days and it’s a great app with a great concept. However I do think the meal and eat section needs work. Yes it’s good that it’s got all these raw ingredients but I think that the app needs to have food items you can get from the store on it so you can scan it into the app then you don’t need to add all the individual ingredients. I also think that there needs to be a way that we can show that we’ve made one of the recipes on the app as well as our own recipe book section or regular meals section we can just refer back to it and just select it without much hassle.

Terrible timer app
Here is a timer that will keep nagging you to subscribe, add “buddies”, to stay in the app, buy frostier, collect stars. To read their interstitials with fake countdowns and increase their sales numbers instead of giving you a product that adds anything simple and of value.
Might as well stick with the native timer app.

The Community Chat Needs Work
The Fastic App has potential to be a great tool, however there are some key issues with the community tab.
After being on here for about two weeks, I’ve decided to delete the app. What’s the point in fasting from food if you can’t fast from negativity. The chat room is toxic 90% of the time from toxic behavior and no moderation. Fasting is a difficult task already and part of the attraction to the Fastic App was the ability to engage in conversation with others also on their respective journeys toward a healthier life. However, other Fastic users repeatedly spam the chat, attack other Fastic app users, and engage in extremely toxic behavior well into the classification of cyber bullying. I wish everyone the best on their journeys and remember you don’t have to take part in bad behavior. Insecurities really show here and sometimes it seems normal to be abusive, while not even realizing it. The block and reporting feature do not work at the moment so one can’t ignore the other persons behavior. It effects the entire atmosphere of the community tab. Please fix this chat or the select few who are inducing this behavior stop. With some changes to give the user more control on blocking and reporting, moderators or filters in the chat room, the app will be a great too for the countless humans ready to take a step to a healthier version of themselves. Regardless if you care or not, Enjoy and much love to you all. 🙏🏽❤️🌱.

Love this app
If you want an app you don’t have to pay for this one isn’t for you unless you want the most basic option. But in my personal opinion paying for this app is so worth it! I just had my baby and I want to lose all this extra weight and eating salads and healthy foods just hasn’t worked for me. I tried fasting before and it really helped, until I got sick of salads and gave up. But this app shows you healthy foods to eat that you won’t hate i love the recipes and they have vegan, vegetarian, lactose intolerant, gluten free and meatless options so if you can’t have certain foods they will acomidate that. There are three levels and the more I tense the level the longer you fast for so if you’re not comfortable fasting for 20 hours and only eating for 4 of them start off slow and you can get more intense the more comfortable you are with fasting. I recommend this to anyone that wants to lose weight!

Life changing
I never write reviews but this app is so good! The way this app tracks the activity happening in your body as you fast is always motivational. Oh—my blood sugar is already settling down, why break fast now? The window it sets for eating and the assumption you’ll fast again helps you roll from one day to the next. The frosty system is paced really well. It gives you chips that you earn and can use to take days off.
The meal tracking function is clunky and not very useable. Could do with some work. I think it should feel more like a diary than it does, or maybe a bigger picture window to see your food retrospectively.
My guilt around eating/not eating has changed dramatically. I’ve tried IF and OMAD before but always gave up quickly. There’s something very easy about IF now I’m using Fastic that feels like it could just be my new lifestyle around eating. Highly recommend!

We are very happy about your rating. Thanks a lot!
It just plain works!
At 60+ this app, the free version, has given me a new lease of life. In 48 days I have gradually lost 7.4kgs- over 16lbs. ‘18.6’ has become a way of life and to be honest it is easy. Just black/green tea, black coffee and water until mid day; eat what I want until 6pm and then stop. I have made a couple of diet changes; no cows milk and a green salad with salt and dressing at some point every day. I have also quit booze for an initial period of three months since April 1. My diet changes may continue to eventually exclude wheat and include daily kafir but that will be for after lock down ends. Alongside this I have an exercise regime for 5 days a week; three days with a single kettlebell circuit of 11 exercises and two with a 10 minute HIT workout using ‘Downdog HIT’. Just before 6pm there is a lovely coffee with full goats milk and 2 squares of 70% dark chocolate. A highlight of each day and a perfect way to start fasting again. I feel slimmer, fitter and I am close to being under 12 stone; a weight I last was over 40 years ago. Certainly a 5 star outcome from a free app!

Thanks for your great review, it encourages us to continue in the same way. Good luck with your fasting!
Still unsure
Good app for keeping track of fasting, but only if you want to do it every day. No use to you if you are interested in intermittent fasting. Easy to follow, notifications good so you are reminded of when to start fasting, end fasting, drink water, exercise, so that is helpful.
Find it hard to earn frosties that allow you to keep your progress.
Worst thing about it is I somehow lost flames, no idea how that happened, so reward system is a bit screwed up because you work hard to get rewards, then lose them with no real reason why.
Also, no extra rewards if you fast longer than required, which annoys me as you can’t track any benefits outside of your allocated fasting window. Once it got easier I could fast an hour or so outside allocated time, but have no idea if this was a good thing or not. Kinda disappointed, don’t think this is the right app for me.
