It would be nice to hear an alert when I am busy elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Best app *2023-12-25, version 2.8* No nonsense, no adds, no fuss. Ideal for just who just want to track their IF hours and regulate their routine. ### 5/5 — Simple simple simple *2023-11-21, version 2.8* If you are a fan of simplicity and you like having the extra nudge to let you know when to start and stop eating, this is the app for you. ### 5/5 — Finally, someone gets it right! *2023-08-02, version 2.7* I’ve made fasting a lifestyle in 2023; and for many who do this, they’ve done the research, read books and listen to the podcasts… this app is for you guys… you don’t need coaching or anything like that, you just want data tracking and simple reminders to keep you on track during a busy day! Most fasting apps are way to much… this one is not! It’s basic, data tracking and reminders… i use it because I work a robust schedule and I want to eat properly, the right amount of nutrients and so forth without; it’s easy to get buried in a project and miss your eating window… i hate stacking calories because i forgot to eat before 6; routine is what makes a fasting lifestyle work, it has to become a habit; but within that mindset, you need simple tools to help the process… this is that tool! this app has basic reminders like eating windows and so forth - The primary reason I chose this app; working in the field on a project, a reminder helps me create perspective about time frame so I eat routinely, again, this is how habits are formed. This app is great and is as advertised so far. Great work! ### 5/5 — No nonsense app *2023-07-26, version 2.7* This app is clean and clutter-free. I tried a dozen intermittent fasting apps, and this is by far the best. I have been recommending this to friends. ### 5/5 — All action, no nonsense 🙌🏾 *2023-07-15, version 2.7* I do not leave reviews, but was compelled to as after trying various other Fasting Apps full of subscription models, ads and other junk. Daily Fast was a breath of fresh air, simple, clean, no subscription or any of that other junk, I rate this app and developer for keeping it real. ### 5/5 — Easy to follow *2023-07-01, version 2.7* Simple and straight forward. When to start eating and when to start fasting. ### 5/5 — I am so grateful! *2023-05-24, version 2.6* This is the clean and simple fasting timer I was looking for. No ads, no chaos and no extras. It does exactly what I need. It would be worth paying for it but it is free! Thank you.🙏 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App - and Free too!!! *2023-05-16, version 2.6* I love a simple app and this one ticks all the boxes. The Home Screen widget is perfect, the Lock Screen widgets are also fab. I would love to see a live activity timer option - and PLEASE add the option to buy you a cup of coffee!!!!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-05-14, version 2.6* My doctor suggested this. I should have started this years ago. It is a lil confusing how to start but after a week I think I have it down. Start with just a few days. I am feeling better and I have lost a few pounds. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2023-04-25, version 2.6* Simple and does it’s job. No junk and no tracking An Apple Watch complication would be amazing ### 5/5 — Nice and simple *2023-03-16, version 2.6* Really like the simplicity, health apps can be overwhelming with all the options but it’s immediately obvious how to use this app and though the design is strong it doesn’t try to be overly clever like a lot of apps tend to be. My only suggestion is to add basic Apple Watch support, a countdown complication would be great. If that feature existed this would be stellar. ### 5/5 — Finally *2023-02-15, version 2.6* Simple. Understandable. Right to the point. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Wonder App! *2023-02-08, version 2.5* You can customize your fasting time! Also allows you to set alerts! ### 5/5 — Sagen die Gelehrten *2022-11-25, version 2.1* Thank you for making simple practical app with no foolishness. Truly add free. It is good! ### 5/5 — No nonsense app *2022-11-03, version 2.1* UI and UX is simple, effective, and beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing. ### 5/5 — Rate *2022-09-04, version 2.1* Easy straight to the point. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not so great *2023-12-07, version 2.8* Can’t change times w/o starting all over again. Notifications are spotty at best. Too many quirks to rely upon. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-06, version 2.6* Really liked the look of this app would have done the job beautifully but no matter what I did it would always show my eating window starting at 12am! ### 1/5 — Countdown timer doesn’t work *2021-11-18, version 2.0* When you open the app (after you’ve set it up), the timer will be displayed. It doesn’t work. Mine opened to 18:60 and didn’t change while the app was open. Also, why did it say 18:60? Isn’t that the same as 19:00? ### 1/5 — Didn’t like it after all *2021-10-11, version 2.0* I wanted a fasting app that I didn’t have to press “start fast” and “stop fast” on. This was that app. However, on one occasion I began my fast later than usual. I attempted to adjust my start time the next morning. I found that I could not alter the prior days time. I could only edit “today’s time”. So, on a 16:8 fast if I entered a 2-hour later eating window for “today” because I began my fast 2 hours later the prior evening, this app would calculate that I had fasted for 18 hours because I could not adjust the start time from the prior evening. After this happened I tried to completely end fasting on this app. I couldn’t. Selecting “I don’t want to fast today.” set a timer for a 29 hour eating window which means it was going to begin my next fast rather than completely stop it. There was no way for me to completely end fasting on this app. The only other option this app gives is to select a different fasting plan. You can turn off notifications but that’s not enough. It’s still running, logging fasting days based on the plan you selected. Once you start using this app, there is no “off” button. After realizing this app is like a runaway train, I decided to delete it. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2021-07-27, version 2.0* For sure it’s free I don’t know what to do with this app 😄 ### 1/5 — Limited *2020-06-17, version 2.0* This app does not allow you to fast for more than 24 hours. I deleted it 30 seconds after I downloaded it because of that. I want to be able to manually set my fasts, and I want to be able to fast for longer than 24 hours. ### 2/5 — Will not notify *2022-09-11, version 2.1* Worked great first week now does nothing ### 2/5 — Just one suggestion *2022-01-03, version 2.0* Like the app, but perhaps using verbiage other than “feeding window” as if I were a horse (or worse) would be a bit more gentle. Just sayin. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🐮 🐷 🐴 🐑 ### 2/5 — Instructions *2020-03-18, version 2.0* I’ve not been able to read how to use this app. Where are the instructions? ### 3/5 — Simple *2021-05-17, version 2.0* I like that it is simple and no IAP but I am not receiving my notifications...Can someone help with this? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 *2025-12-12, version 2.8.1* No subscriptions, no bogus additional offerings. Just a simple fasting app ### 5/5 — Simple, effective *2025-05-05, version 2.8.1* Found this gem of an app by accident. Beautiful in its simplicity it doesn’t tell me stuff I’m not interested in, just a very gentle reminder of my fasting window. Completely effective ! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-01-08, version 2.8.1* This app is exactly what I was looking for—simple, straightforward, no unnecessary bells and whistles, no calorie counting…Love it. Relieved to finally find a no-frills IF timer! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-06-06, version 2.8* Super simple, nothing extra needed. EXACTLY what I was looking for! ### 5/5 — Perfect in is simplicity and practicality *2024-04-24, version 2.8* Really enjoy how easy it is. Things like this don’t need to be complicated or have an endless amount of customization and features. It’s perfect, that simple. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Try clean and simple *2024-01-21, version 2.8* No frills or needless bells and whistles, o insane diet plans, just a simple timer app that does exactly what it says. Finally 👍… ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-30, version 2.8* Great app and free --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
