User Reviews: Fast Like a Girl

Top reviews

  • Doesn’t Work

    This app needs some serious help. First, it won’t let me go back to Dec 2022 to enter date of last period. Second, when I give up and just enter a date that it will let me enter (which isn’t even close to the date I need to enter), it puts me in a continuous loop of having to re-enter a date. I’ve given up and switched to the Fastic app, but I’d really prefer using this app since it is (I’m assuming) more tailored to a female fast. I wish this app would get the re-tooling it so desperately needs!
  • Skips Power Phase 2

    I started using this app on the first day of my cycle and everything was going well, and I found it very helpful to keep track. But then it skipped Power Phase #2 (Days 16-19) by going from Manifestation Phase Day 11-15 right to Nurture Phase (Day 20-Bleed). Please fix this because the app is very handy if working correctly.
  • 2nd crash in under a month

    I started using this app just after day one of my cycle. It just crashed for the second time…and I haven’t even finished my cycle!

    After the first crash, I had to delete and reinstall the app. There is no feature to back data up, so my tracking was lost.

    The app just crashed a second time when I went to open it. I’ll see if it corrects in the morning, but if not, I’m going to have to stop using it, at least for tracking. It may ultimately only be good for reminding me if I should be doing Ketobiotic or hormone feasting, but I can just track that on my calendar. 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Seems unfinished

    I just downloaded this app as I just read the book and was looking forward to having the app as a tool to use on my fasting journey. The app cuts off much of the text so you cannot read everything, there is not information for post menopausal women even though it says there is in the app description, some of the suggestions (hyperbaric oxygen) are not realistic for the average person. A bit disappointing overall and not what I expected from Dr. Mindy as I value her usually having thorough information to share.
  • Not Designed for Post Menopausal Women; Too Many Bugs

    App appears to have a bug relating whatever basis date (date of last period/date of last new moon) and the current date.

    Others have documented the inconsistencies. I experienced the app staying on Day 20 for ten days. Deleted the app, and now see that it reflects a range, instead of a specific date, of Day 1-10, following a new moon of March 21.

    Very disappointed in lack of support for post menopausal woman; maybe this should be another option in the app setup?? Will delete until I see another update.
  • Needs some major adjustments

    This app has so much potential but needs some back end fixes. Every time I open it, it is showing me different stuff for exercise and diet recommendations- which is incredibly confusing for someone who is just beginning their fasting journey. I will probably check back later in hopes they have fixed some bugs.
  • App not functioning correctly

    The first five days of my fasting “schedule,” days 11-15 were tracked okay by the app, but then on day 16 instead of going to 2nd Power phase (days 16-19), it skipped it and put me on Day 20. There’s no way to manually change the day. Also the sentences in app run off the screen. Love this idea because it makes so much sense to have an app that keeps track of where you are and what you should be doing but app needs a lot of work before it’ll truly be helpful.
  • I want to like it, but…

    I can’t see the whole screen, it’s not suited for an iPhone 11 as words are cut off. It’s highly unlikely I’ll be able to access red light therapy and infrared sauna in my neck of the woods, but thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to use this app in conjunction with starting the 30 day fasting reset plan as laid out in Fast Like A Girl. Instead I’m just going to keep using my Cycles app for tracking my cycle.
  • Perfect Companion to the Book!

    This app Is the perfect companion to the book, “Fast Like a Girl”.
  • Incorrect Fasting Cycle

    The app's first Power Phase and Manifestation Phase coincided with my cycle, but when it came to my Day 16-Day 19: the second Power Phase, the app skipped over that phase and went directly to Day 20-Bleed: Nurture Phase. If that was fixed, it'd be a five star for sure.
