Bummer ### 2/5 — Kinda cheap *2026-02-21, version 1.3* It should say the day of the cycle you on so you know what’s coming for the next phase and also should include a carb counter. This ingenuity the most basic app ### 3/5 — Great info- needs more settings *2026-02-20, version 1.3* For those of us with shorter and irregular cycles, would appreciate an option to add that to the settings. If that were added, this app would be amazing! ### 3/5 — Unable to plug in last date for period *2025-11-25, version 1.3* Perimenopausal woman here. Unable to put last cycle date in when app opens. It was 5-6 mos ago. Only gives option for this month, last month and next month. 😒 ### 2/5 — Wish it had a fasting tracker *2025-11-07, version 1.3* Love the concept but I wish it included a tracker where I could track my fasting. Like the window I ate in that day and how long I fasted for etc. this would help me monitor my progress and see if I’m following the proper fasting cycles. Hope they consider adding this! ### 2/5 — App incorrectly set *2025-11-03, version 1.3* The app seems to miss da 16-19 Power phase and goes immediately into day 20-bleed Nurture phase. I see others have commented the same over a year ago. A shame nothing has been done about the update, as it could be such an incredible resource ### 3/5 — It has potential *2025-11-01, version 1.3* I’m giving it 3 stars because it has a lot of potential, it’s informative, it has good formatting, and I like the color scheme. It is messed up though. Within a few days it was wrong about my phase even though it asked me when I started my last period and it was correct at first about me being in my ovulation phase right now- then it said, the next day, that I was in my bleeding / nurturing phase which is not only not true but not even possible. I will finish my ovulation phase in about 3 days and then enter my luteal phase. I do like the app though because it gives good information about different points of your cycle and what foods, fasting, exercise, and more are most beneficial during that time. That part helps me because there is so much information that I read and took notes on when I read the book. The app is messed up but the information it gives per phase is very educational. I will just take notes and keep tracking my cycle on my health app and on my calendar. Hopefully it gets fixed soon ! ### 4/5 — No recipes *2025-10-27, version 1.3* I love this app! I just wish it also had other things like a page for all the different recipes for the different phases, and also a way of keeping track of autophagy diets and things like that, and keeping track of what hours you fast for, almost like a timer. ### 2/5 — Needs updated and fixed *2025-10-14, version 1.3* Unfortunately anytime I sign in it says day 20. I think there is a bug that needs fixed otherwise this would be a really amazing app especially after reading the book. ### 3/5 — Need more, but still useful *2025-10-09, version 1.3* I hope they fix this bug… when going to day 16 in cycle it jumps to 20 which is a very different phase. I downloaded the app to help me keep track of my fasts and what I should be doing. So this wasn’t helpful. BUT everything else is. It is VERY simple. Like the other comment I wish they had a month glance of it…. But the day by day is good other than the glitch. If you needed a reminder of what fasting mode you’re in for the day this was helpful. Just remember that days 17-19 wont show up and will go straight into 20 after your 15th day. So just be aware of that and remember the power phase on your own :) ### 4/5 — Very basic and simple *2025-08-19, version 1.3* This app does well in telling you what phase of your cycle you are in, which is handy to have. One thing I wish that I offered is a month-at a-glance, so that you could plan ahead for the meals in the next week or so. It just says you are in this phase, but doesn’t say if you are on day 20 or day 27. ### 2/5 — Great idea but.... *2025-08-17, version 1.3* You can only do one cycle. Meaning i could do day 1-10 but that's it. Now that I am on day 11- I need to go back to the book to see what my next steps are. I was really excited to use this after reading the book because it pulls it all together and it was very convenient to have on my phone. I wish I would update to follow your entire cycle. The only option now I have is to change in settings to moon phase, that puts me at day 20? ### 2/5 — Timer *2025-08-10, version 1.3* Very strange there’s no timer. ### 2/5 — It needs serious updating *2025-07-23, version 1.3* Honestly this app needs a revamp to it. It doesn’t even have an end day for your menstrual cycle. It’s very dull as to the system. I’m not very sure it’s really worth having to be honest. ### 1/5 — Great Idea *2025-07-21, version 1.3* Love the book, I’d recommend it to any woman hoping to get her health back on track, but the app leaves much to be desired. I downloaded it and then deleted it within minutes once I realized it’s just not functional. Fix the app and I will GLADLY use it. And to anyone reading this, if you haven’t read Dr Mindy Pelz book Fast Like A Girl, READ IT! With the book you can follow what this app promises (and falls short on) with any cycle tracking app! Hoping for an improvement on this app, good luck! ### 1/5 — Menopausal women *2025-07-17, version 1.3* This app does not allow backdating for your last menstrual cycle. This eliminates anyone who is menopausal postmenopausal premenopausal who may be haven’t had a psycho for quite some time. very disappointing. I was excited to find it in my App Store, and then I downloaded it to find that I couldn’t use it. ### 1/5 — Menopausal women? *2025-07-15, version 1.3* Is this app not for menopausal women? I cannot get past the first page asking for the start of my last period which was 1/27/2017. It keeps reverting back to dates in 2025… ### 1/5 — App useless for me *2025-07-05, version 1.3* As a post menopausal woman I can't even get into this app so no use to me as all ! ### 1/5 — Can’t get passes the disclaimer screen *2025-06-20, version 1.3* I downloaded the app and on the disclaimer screen is also the box for when your last period was . Unfortunately it’s overlapping so every time I click on it it takes me to the disclaimer page … so I can’t move on to the next page . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-07-30, version 1.3* Absolutely rubbish, no info available on how to use the app and I’ve been stuck in the power phase for nearly 20 days. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-17, version 1.3* Hasn’t moved beyond the power phase and I don’t see any way to manually advance it. Has lots of potential but since it’s not been updated in 3 years it’s obviously not a priority which is disappointing ### 1/5 — No menopause help *2026-04-10, version 1.3* Trying to fast for hell with menopause, nope. This app won’t be of any value. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2026-03-04, version 1.3* The concept behind this app could be strong, but the functionality is limited. It’s not interactive, largely just a small collection of informational content you can read in less than a 5 minutes that’s already covered in the book. I was hoping for more personalised features, tracking tools, or dynamic guidance that would make the app experience different from simply rereading some of the simpler material. The design and user experience could also be more polished and intuitive. With more interactivity and added value beyond the book, this could become a much more engaging and useful tool. ### 1/5 — More information needed *2026-02-20, version 1.3* I’m post menopause, you can select last date of period or choose “Moon Cycle” looked everywhere in app. I assume I should select Moon Cycle, but couldn’t find anything to confirm. At this point, I’ll be deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-01-02, version 1.3* This app gets stuck on a certain cycle. Should have options to add start and end of cycle to make it more personalized ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2025-12-15, version 1.3* Love being able to reference what phase I’m in, but there are definitely some bugs that need to be worked out. When I hit day 16, the app shows “Day 20 - Bleed.” Also, it would be nice to have a few actual food suggestions (not just supplements) for each phase. ### 1/5 — Unmaintained and disappointing *2025-11-10, version 1.3* The app is simple, which could be fine, if it at least helped me track my fasting according to my cycle. It is basically an app with PDFs of static information and no way to personalize or tell me how to fast based on where I am in my cycle…you know the whole point of Fast Like A Girl. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2025-10-16, version 1.3* When are you fixing this app Mindy? It could be so great! ### 1/5 — Poor design *2025-09-09, version 1.3* I can not for the life of me figure out how to tell it what day of my cycle I’m on. Not intuitive at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-30, version 1.3* I love this app. It has a lot of great information. ### 5/5 — Like it! *2024-06-04, version 1.3* Much Easier for me to track from app Love it! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-05-02, version 1.2* It makes the program easier and time efficient. ### 5/5 — Perfect Companion to the Book! *2023-02-20, version 1.2* This app Is the perfect companion to the book, “Fast Like a Girl”. ### 5/5 — Upped my game *2023-01-18, version 1.2* I lost 55 lbs with Dr Mindy Pelz’s knowledge and experience through her YouTube videos. This app is just one more way that she is reaching out to change our lives and get us to take control of our not only our body and mind, but if the innate spirit within us that desires balance and longevity. Intend to see my children’s children and will be using this app to learn more about myself and how to help my daughters learn to listen to their own bodies and use food to fuel their incredible, miraculous lives!! Thanks Dr. Mindy! ### 5/5 — THANK YOU MINDY PELZ!!! *2023-01-14, version 1.0* SO THANKFUL for an app that helps me quickly see what fast I should be on, what foods to focus on, supplements, and how I should exercise for my overall well-being. So grateful! LOVE my book FAST LIKE A GIRL! ### 5/5 — So helpful *2023-01-06, version 1.0* I started timing & charting my cycle according to my hormonal needs in my notes on my phone after listening to a few chapters then I saw that this app was available which made everything so easy for me to keep track of my cycle. Thank you so much Dr. Mindy ### 5/5 — Love Dr Mindy Pelz *2023-01-04, version 1.0* This app goes wonderfully with the book. I’m looking forward to updates that include the moon phase and hoping to see a full month cycle view as well. ### 5/5 — The perfect companion to Dr. Mindy’s new book *2022-12-27, version 1.0* The app is so easy to use! Dr. Mindy and the team thought through the UI really well. This app is the perfect companion to Dr. Mindy’s book of the same name. Thanks, Dr. Mindy! ### 4/5 — Not keeping up with current phase in cycle. *2025-11-09, version 1.3* Nov 2025- Update I’ve figured out you actually have to make sure you are tracking your start date for your cycle in the app and it changes as the days go. I really like this app but being able to track fasting would give this app 5 stars in my book!! Thank you Mindy for your amazing knowledge! I was so excited for this app because it was going to help me with keeping up on all that I was learning from the fast like a girl book. But it is stuck on the wrong phase and there is no way to trouble shoot. It would be sweet if there was a way to track my fasting and what I was eating. Love the idea but it needs work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
