### 5/5 — Fasting Reminder

*2026-04-06, version 3.0.0*

This app helps me remember when my window is open to eat and to fast, plus it gives me a 30 minute warning to eat a snack before my fasting starts in the evening. The fasting time is adjustable and I’ve lost 10 pounds using this app as of January , 2026. Give it a try, it has helped me.

### 5/5 — Great and Simple Fast app

### 4/5 — Audible alert please

*2025-03-24, version 2.8.1*

I enjoy everything about this app, except that there is no audible alert to notify eating window, and fasting start time. 
It would be nice to hear an alert when I am busy elsewhere.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for

*2024-03-19, version 2.8*

No extra frills, just a simple repeating timer with a widget. I am slightly offended that dev doesn’t want to hear about my dreams and aspirations though

### 5/5 — This is it

*2024-03-10, version 2.8*

This is the app I’ve been looking for! 
Function over all the money-making shenanigans. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
