### 5/5 — Love it - simple and straight to the point

*2025-08-24, version 1.5.5*

Reason why I use this app 3 times a day is because it’s so simple to click one button then leave. Love that it notifies me when i last ate… 1,2 and 3 hours later i get a notification…. Simple and easy.  But lately it has been hard to adjust my eat times. I checked to see if maybe i was missing an update but no, that wasn’t it. Hopefully they can make more money to keeps things updated.

### 4/5 — Ads

*2024-04-07, version 1.5.5*

Any ways to eliminate the ADS

### 2/5 — Bad app

*2023-10-02, version 1.5.5*

Let me up in my own times to eat

### 3/5 — Like the concept…just not quite there.

*2023-08-14, version 1.5.5*

Been trying four of these side by side.  This one has the best baked in metrics (trends) by far.  However the meal tracking capture needs some more configuration.  You need to be able to explicitly set the number of eating events you are targeting for the day.  You can sorta manage that by meal intervals + notification window but that is not fool proof.  

Also the reminder notifications are just a set cadence of x minutes, which I suppose should be something that your meal interval is divisible by to get them to line up?  Again, wish reminders were more explicit and centered around defined meal events.

In some ways I like this app the best, but these types of configuration options are critical for usability.  This sadly may be the first one to go in my test. 🙁

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-01-08, version 1.5.5*

Its great for people like me who forget to eat throughout a busy day

### 2/5 — Having trouble

*2022-10-28, version 1.5.5*

Do you have technical support? What I want to record is when I start eating and when I’m done for the day, a reverse approach to the fasting mode, this is the eating mode, there are errors that I don’t know what caused them nor am I able to correct the errors.

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2022-08-14, version 1.5.5*

I usually do not mind ads, but as soon as I down loaded they started. Can not click on the x to get rid of it because way to small. Cannot continue with the so because it is in the way.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2022-03-21, version 1.5.5*

I love this app but would love 2 additions! Option for setting intervals to 2.5 hours vs 3 (no half hour notions). And that notifications were set to “before next meal time” example: go off 30 min before the 3 hour alert?

### 5/5 — Turkey noodles

*2022-01-16, version 1.5.5*

Turkey with noodles

### 5/5 — Works great!!!

*2021-05-27, version 1.5.5*

I love that I can adjust the time of my last meal on the fly!  Great job!
