Wonderful to use BUT my current fasting countdown was on my homescreen until I accidentally closed it and now I can't get it back on my homescreen to see it at-a-glance. Any suggestions? **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words :)) we experience this too and will try to think of a way to get it to reappear (though it might only be possible when you reopen the app). ### 5/5 — La meilleure pour le moment pour le jeûne *2024-06-05, version 1.1.3* Petit prix Bon design Interface minimaliste Pas de contenu (éducatif etc) autre que la gestion horaire Juste ce qu’il faut donc, merci ! ### 5/5 — Wowoweewo *2024-05-27, version 1.1.3* This app is insanely good for price. Great job to the developers. ### 5/5 — Amazing app - use it everyday *2024-05-07, version 1.1.3* I love this app - it’s used everyday to track my meal slots and fasting. As a long term sufferer of IBS using this app has proved highly beneficial in curbing my snacking. Instead helping me develop healthier habits and understanding my digest cycles. 5* app and is highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fasting is hard - this app makes it simple! *2024-05-07, version 1.1.3* Fasting is hard and you don’t want the anxiety and endless stress that other apps in the space bring. Between cravings and hunger - you want something simple, straightforward and effective. I love that it’s minimal and easy to use approach. It gives me everything that I need and doesn’t overwhelm me. I love the history feature that shows me my past experiences and how I am doing on average as some days are hard than others! I have customised mine to match my aesthetics. Well done to your team ! ### 5/5 — better than zero *2024-05-07, version 1.1.3* I like the design ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-04-13, version 1.1.2* Love the design! 🤩 ### 4/5 — Great app! *2024-04-12, version 1.1.2* Nicely designed app that simply focuses on fasting. There’s an issue at the moment where fast reminders are still sent even if the fasting session is currently active. ### 4/5 — Simplicity *2024-03-23, version 1.1.1* If you just want an app that will help you with your “fasting time” this is it. No junk, no extra health info, no unnecessary features. ### 5/5 — Delightful Application *2024-03-22, version 1.1.1* The small details sprinkled throughout the app make it a joy to use!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Custom fasting length *2026-03-29, version 2.0.0* The app is beautiful. I mean the human interface is amazing. The only thing, missing is the ability to do custom fast! where you put the hours or time length exp 30 days fast or as long as you want just. ### 2/5 — Can’t personalize app *2025-11-14, version 2.0.0* Need more options for ADF ### 2/5 — Fashion over function *2025-01-26, version 2.0.0* I really wanted to like this app, it’s so beautiful! Unfortunately it looks better than it works for me personally. This app is like a racer that prematurely celebrates before crossing the finish line: it does such a wonderful job at paring it down to just the essential, but the essential function is where it fails. My two main annoyances are: 1. Fasts can’t be started at any time, unless you remember to start it immediately after you finish eating. When you start a fast you’re only given the option to choose “just now” or times in 5-10 min increments. So if I stopped eating at 6:22 but didn’t start it right then and there, my only options would be something like 6:15, 6:30 (I forget the exact increments, but you get the idea). 2. Hold to start/stop a fast interaction. Unlike every other app I’ve used, where starting/stopping a fast is just a quick tap, in Empty you have to hold the button for a few seconds to start and stop. I don’t understand this design decision. It’s not like this app has other competing buttons or a complicated UI where you might accidentally hit start/stop without meaning to, therefore holding makes more sense so it’s 100% intentional. This app is the exact opposite: it’s so minimal there’s basically nothing else to do but start/stop a fast, therefore holding seems unnecessary and a waste of time. I love that this app has nothing else like articles, tips, recipes, etc. which bloat so many other apps. But function wise I hate this app. I want to come in and quickly tap to start/stop with a precise time. Again, like tripping at the finish line bc they were celebrating and patting themselves on the back. So disappointing! ### 2/5 — Great UI & too basic functionality *2024-07-14, version 1.1.3* The UI is great, a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately the functionality is quite poor. The more advanced alternatives have different stages along the duration and communities, which is quite motivating together with various programs. This app is just a gorgeous looking timer. ### 2/5 — Confusing UI. No Automation. *2024-05-18, version 1.1.3* How come fasting apps never seem have a simple feature where fasts start and stop AUTOMATICALLY with the option to go back and edit them later if need be? I thought this app would, but it doesn’t. The UI is too confusing for manually adding a fast that wraps over midnight. In fact, I can’t figure out how to do so. Also, if I miss starting a fast the night before, it seems to be impossible to start the countdown from last night. You only have the option to start a fast right now. Not a good UX overall. ### 2/5 — Confusing *2024-03-21, version 1.0.5* I have to schedule and still start manually, which isn’t why I want an app. Adding a fast I started yesterday is also not possible, so I have to wait for tomorrow to start properly again. ### 3/5 — It’s beautiful but lacks integration. *2025-10-30, version 2.0.0* Need Apple health integration please. It would make it perfect. ### 3/5 — Needs Custom Fast *2025-06-28, version 2.0.0* Love this simple app, BUT it should let me fast at least 24 hours (more if I want). Been using it for a year and have slimmed down but I occasionally want to prolong a fast and cannot with this app. Please update/modify to allow 36, 48 and 72 hour fast. ### 3/5 — Lacking Apple health integration *2024-09-26, version 2.0.0* Beautiful and minimal UI, having Apple health support would make it the perfect app ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2025-03-21, version 2.0.0* Simple, single-function app with zero bloat or a dozen other features that I don't need. UI is snappy and well thought out. One major omission, and the reason for my lack of 5 stars, is the inability to edit the start time of a running timer. Whether I'm out socializing, eating my last bite on the go, or simply don't know if this bite is my LAST bite of the day, we need the ability to start a timer whenever we want and then edit the start time. That way, the timer remains true to whenever that last bite happened. I stopped using the app months ago because of this, came back today hoping the developer improved things, but no luck. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-11-24, version 2.0.0* For the design and simple form ### 5/5 — Best one out there! *2025-11-02, version 2.0.0* Simple, doing what it’s made for! Really great purchase :) ### 5/5 — Clean and Simple *2025-10-31, version 2.0.0* This app has a very nice clean aesthetic and is overall nice to use ### 5/5 — Beautiful UI, with one request *2024-12-18* This app UI is beautiful. The only thing I’d like, to fully switch over from Zero, is the ability to set multiple “start fast” reminders. I want a reminder 15m, 30m, 45m, and 1hour before my fast to pester and remind me to eat my last meal while I still can ;) Otherwise, awesome app, nice work! **Developer response:** Ooh interesting! This is the first time we’ve heard this request and it actually shouldn’t be too difficult to implement. Thank you for the kind review too :) ### 5/5 — Great app for fasting! *2024-09-23, version 2.0.0* I got the app on release date and had a few issues. Got in contact with the devs and they set up a call to get on with fixing them! I was amazed at the passion and support behind the project. I have been fasting for a while now and couldn’t be happier! ### 5/5 — Perfectly simple *2024-09-17, version 1.1.3* It does what I need perfectly without a mountain of spyware, ads, other targets and goals and spam. It's perfect in its simplicity and focus. In all honesty possibly the best app I've used for anything. It's that easy, focused and clean. Simply brilliant 🤦 ### 5/5 — It just works *2024-09-08, version 1.1.3* I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while now. Every app I used just tries to upsell me and has too many features and popup. Empty is simple and easy to use….buy now thank me later 😄 ### 5/5 — Great & Awesome. *2024-08-27, version 1.1.3* Great app with beauty and minimal UI. Good job. You guys nailed it. However, please make manual time input. Because the current one only can select the time preset. ### 5/5 — No se *2024-07-04, version 1.1.3* Compré la app pero no sé para que sirve hahaha, ayuda pls ### 5/5 — You Will Love This! *2024-07-01* Love this simple app! Deleted all other fasting apps, even though I'd paid for them! Everything I need and nothing more. Not too-busy with too much info like others, but just right amount of info and notification and cute encouraging notes; plus no ugly circle like others, just a digital countdown. Wonderful to use and esp love having my current fast countdown on my homescreen for an at-a-glance view. Great price too! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words :)) we experience this too and will try to think of a way to get it to reappear (though it might only be possible when you reopen the app). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
