## What is Fasting Companion?

Fasting Companion helps you fast with purpose, pray with focus, reflect honestly, and stay encouraged through every stage of your spiritual journey. We aim to keep as much free as we can so that affordability is not an issue.  

We are deeply grateful for our Premium members. We want you to know that premium is not simply about unlocking more features—it also helps us maintain audio, resources, and ongoing content for the wider Fasting Companion community, including those who may not be able to afford a subscription. Our hope is to build a sustainable model where those who choose Premium help make meaningful spiritual support available to more people.

Whether you are beginning your first fast or returning to a long-held spiritual discipline, Fasting Companion gives you a calm, Scripture-centred place to prepare, track, pray, reflect, and grow.

Fasting can easily become confusing, pressured, or purely physical. This app is designed to help you slow down, create intentional space with God, and stay connected to the deeper spiritual purpose behind your fast.

WHY FASTING COMPANION?

• Fast with greater purpose
Start each fast with a clear intention, a spiritual focus, and guidance that helps you remember why you began.

• Stay grounded while you fast
Use guided fasting timers, Scripture encouragement, prayer prompts, and reflection tools to stay spiritually centred throughout the journey.

• Build consistency without pressure
Fasting Companion supports gentle spiritual rhythm, not performance. It helps you return to prayer, reflection, and discipline in a way that feels calm and sustainable.

• Make fasting more than abstaining from food
Explore food fasts, partial fasts, biblical fasts, discipline fasts, and spiritual practices that help shape your attention, habits, and heart.

• Pray with more focus
Enter guided prayer moments designed to help you pause, surrender, listen, and reconnect with God during your fast.

• Reflect on what God may be forming in you
Use journaling, spiritual notes, daily reflections, and end-of-fast prompts to notice patterns, growth, struggles, and moments of clarity.

• Stay encouraged through Scripture
Receive Scripture-based encouragement designed to support your fast with truth, hope, peace, and spiritual direction.

• Fast with others
Invite friends into group fasting experiences, helping you stay encouraged, connected, and spiritually accountable.

• Grow through guided Christian fasting journeys
Premium fasting experiences provide deeper structure, reflection, prayer, milestones, and spiritual formation support.

BUILT FOR A DEEPER SPIRITUAL RHYTHM

Fasting Companion is for people who want fasting to become more than a timer, a goal, or an act of self-denial. It is for believers who want to create quiet space with God, build spiritual discipline, practise surrender, and become more attentive to what God may be forming in them.

Whether you are pursuing a personal spiritual reset, a food fast, a partial fast, a discipline fast, a biblical fast, or a group fasting journey, Fasting Companion is designed to walk with you along the way.

Fasting Companion is free to download and includes guided fasting, prayer, reflection, Scripture encouragement, journaling, fasting guidance, audio articles, and group fasting support.
Optional Premium unlocks deeper guided Christian fasting journeys, expanded prayer and reflection experiences, personalised spiritual insights, spiritual formation tracking, premium milestones, enhanced widgets, and larger group fasting circles.

Step into intentional rhythms of fasting, prayer, and reflection — and be shaped.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

This focused update refines the fasting journey with clearer access to advanced fasts, a cleaner Bible Study experience, and improved fast completion flow.

We also included stability and reliability improvements to keep Fasting Companion running smoothly as we continue building the spiritual formation experience.

We have to implement some fixes with the introduction of the new Bible translations and rendering some of the larger chapters.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-08-26

This is one of our most meaningful Fasting Companion updates yet. This update is about more than new features. It is about helping you fast with purpose, pray with memory, reflect with honesty, stay rooted in Scripture, and grow with God one step at a time.
What’s new:
• Read the full Bible, free for everyone forever, giving you easier access to Scripture inside the app.
• Bible Studies have been added to help you grow in understanding, encouragement, and spiritual formation.
• Prayer Memory is now available, so you can save prayer moments, return to them, update them, and record answered prayers.
• Answered Prayers helps you remember how God has moved, building a personal testimony of faithfulness over time.
• Reflection with scripture has been added so you can look up any Scripture and build your reflection with the Word of God. 
• Reflection Memory has been added so your reflections can become part of your spiritual journey, not just a one-time moment.
• Free users can continue praying and reflecting, with recent saved moments kept available.
• Premium users receive deeper history, richer memory features, and more complete access to ongoing spiritual formation tools.
• Premium biblical journey previews are now clearer, helping you explore Daniel Fast, Apostle Fast, Lent Journey, and Esther Fast before upgrading.

• Localisation coverage has been strengthened, with cleaner translated text and better support for future languages.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-08-10

This update brings a more polished and reliable fasting companion experience.
We refreshed Guided Fasts with cleaner, more focused fast choices, improved Prayer Memory and Reflection Memory, added a dedicated Fast Memory area in Journey, and made Journey statistics more accurate across prayer, reflection, fasting, and biblical guidance activity.
We also strengthened local data protection during app updates so saved prayer, reflection, fasting, and journey history remains preserved more reliably across upgrades.
This release brings a more thoughtful and polished spiritual companion experience across prayer, fasting, reflection, and learning.
We have also added memory to your prayers, so you can come back and update them as answered prayers. We love this change, providing us all with a record of God's greatness and blessing within our lives. For free accounts you can save up to 10 prayers and then they rotate - with premium it's not limited.
• A lot of changes to the fasting with friends to make it easier to join a fast with others. 
• Onboarding is now simpler and easier to complete, Daily Reflection is clearly available as a free reflection path, and Biblical Audio is easier to reach directly from Home.
• We added a lot more of Gods word throughout the app, we hope you enjoy reading the living word as much as we do. 
• We’ve expanded the audio so Premium can support a library of up to 50 prayer and biblical guidance recordings, while keeping foundational audio freely available to everyone.
• A dedicated Daily Examen reflection tool, with background on the Examen, guided steps, and a self-led option.

• Prayer Guidance Audio and Biblical Library audio have been refined, more recordings for free users and clearer Premium access for the full audio library.
• Filipino, Spanish, and Portuguese localisation coverage has been expanded across prayer, fasting, reflection, audio, Strength & Courage, and journey insights.
• With the introduction of Filipino we needed to do some layout improvements make longer translated text fit more cleanly, especially on the Journey and Reflect screens.
• Fast cards, fast history, and discipline fast titles now localise more consistently.
• Strength & Courage support now feels clearer, more localised, and more encouraging when fasting feels difficult.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-07-19

This update makes Fasting Companion more prayerful, more accessible, and more welcoming for Christians everywhere.

We believe every Christian should have access to the primary tools for fasting, prayer, reflection, and spiritual rhythm. That is why core fasting and prayer features remain available for free, while Premium adds deeper journeys, fuller history, and richer formation tools for those who want to go further and for those items that require storage. 

New in this version:

• Prayer Memory: save prayer moments, revisit them, edit them, and record answered prayers.
• Free prayer history: free users can pray as often as they like, with the 5 most recent saved prayer moments kept.
• Premium prayer history: Premium keeps full prayer history, answered prayer memory, and gentle prompts to return to open prayers.
• Answered Prayers: record how God has answered and build a meaningful testimony of remembrance.
• Filipino language support: added Filipino app localization, with ASD Scripture support where available.
• Premium fast previews: clearer previews for Daniel Fast, Apostle Fast, Lent Journey, and Esther Fast so users can explore before upgrading.
• Better app polish: improved localization coverage, settings updates, acknowledgements, and release-readiness fixes.

A more generous, prayer-centered Fasting Companion for building faithful rhythms with God.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-07-05

This update makes Fasting Companion feel more personal, helpful, and easier to use.
• Visual updates to Prayer and Reflect Screens
• Fast completion screens are now shorter and clearer, with less text and a stronger focus on what matters most.
• Completion reflections now respond more directly to your onboarding choices, including your goals, struggles, fasting experience, and preferred support style.
• Food fasts that end early now include rotating encouragement notes that are honest, light, and motivating without shame.
• Language switching is more reliable across Journey and Reflect, so cards update properly when returning to English.
• Added easier access to the Fasting Companion website from Home and Settings, with links to more articles, community details, and privacy information.
