There’s no data connection between Health and the app, so you’ve got to manually enter everything except the fasting start/stop. This app is basically a stop watch with some manual logging ability. ### 3/5 — Helpful but *2024-03-31, version 1.9.7* It does not let you change the weight from stone to lbs ### 3/5 — Ugly *2023-11-15, version 1.9.7* The UI design is REALLY old fashioned - feel like I'm using 90's software. ### 4/5 — Great App but I Was Expecting a Few Key Features *2021-12-11, version 1.9.7* The app is great overall. I find it very motivating to see my current fasting time. I also like the log & seeing my current time spent fasting in such a fun countdown format. Yet a few things I’m personally missing, was expecting, & are keeping me from giving it that extra star. A manual keto or glucose log, since many fasters are keeping up with one or both of these readings. The ability to schedule a fast for a number of hours through the app, instead of merely a manual start & end time. Yes, I can calculate them myself, but it would be handy to be able to pick a start time, either now or some other time in the past or future & the app allow me to choose a goal start time of however many hours instead of me having to calculate the date & hour. This can be quite cumbersome for a long fast. I’m new to the app, so I don’t know if it averages my fast times somehow. Meaning while let’s say doing a 24-hour fast each on Monday-Tuesday & Friday-Saturday has the same hourly total & average time spent fasting per day throughout the week as a single 48-hour Tuesday through Thursday fast, there is a considerable difference between the 2 which I hope is somehow shown in some statistic or log. But overall, the app is great, useful, & motivational. Since I have been water fasting apart from a 3-5 hour calorie window for several years, I wish I had been manually logging instead of treating each day as independent, just remembering when I can eat today based on yesterday. Or normally eating at the same time regardless & having a longer or shorter fast I forget about directly afterwards. I purchased this because I need to up my fasting game a little, add some time to some of my fasts. It is a great tool, is what it is, but I wish it had a few more features. ### 4/5 — A water tracker would be a great addition. *2021-02-05, version 1.9.7* Calendar is great. Can see all info/notes for a particular date! ### 4/5 — Great app but.... *2020-11-06, version 1.9.7* Would have been top score if the app had the ability to synch to my other devices. ### 5/5 — This is what I’ve been searching for. *2020-03-11, version 1.9.7* Love this app! For a very low cost one time fee (like less than $2.50 with tax) you can track your fasts, your weight, & your measurements all in one app. If you don’t need to track anything other than your fasts, then the app is free to use. I’ve used it for a week now and am so glad to have found it!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-07, version 1.9.7* It keeps the time the fast ### 4/5 — Great app! *2019-09-16, version 1.9.7* I like the app the only thing missing is A fasting library to read about tips tricks ect... ### 5/5 — 안드로이드 버전없나요 *2019-09-12, version 1.9.7* 갤스샀는데 제인생 어플인데안드버전없어서 미치갰네요 ### 2/5 — Everything’s Pro *2019-08-30, version 1.9.7* In theory a great app, but all the features that make it stand out cost money (weight goal, deadlines, fasting schedule, etc.). ### 4/5 — Klasse, aber Apple Health Sync fehlt *2019-08-25, version 1.9.7* Echt gute App. Optisch könnte sie ein wenig moderner daher kommen. Was mir persönlich extrem fehlt ist eine Apple Health Sync Funktion. Dann gäbe es noch 1 Stern mehr. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-08-07, version 1.9.7* Very easy to use, fine for just keeping track of fasting time and wight loss progress ### 5/5 — Good app for EF *2019-07-12, version 1.9.7* This is an excellent app for tracking fasts, especially longer ones. My only gripe is the logo. Nobody fasting wants to see a plate with a knife and fork. It would be great if the developers updated the app icon. ### 3/5 — Like the overall layout but lacking features... *2019-03-21, version 1.9.7* I really like the layout and ability to track but it doesn't allow access to Ihealth for iOS or able to connect to Apple smart watch. I feel like there are other ones that are able to connect to these features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-03-04, version 1.9.7* This app was recommended to me, but I’m not sure as it won’t let me input my weight loss which is very frustrating as I have paid the £1.99 and I can’t see the benefits of this payment. Please help or advise ### 1/5 — Longer than 7 days *2019-08-25, version 1.9.7* It used to measure longer than 7 days ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-08-17, version 1.9.7* Lousy user interface makes this app confusing I have two IT degrees and couldn’t figure out how to simply add another blood ketones reading. Total ripoff! ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2019-03-10, version 1.9.7* Total waste of money, if I could get a refund I would !! ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2019-02-21, version 1.9.7* So many advertisements it literally takes longer to use this useless app than writing down how long it's been since you've eaten on a piece of paper. Why does this exist other than funding the businesses that paid to have their ad on here?Please, owner of this app, answer this question, You're funding companies you don't know about and exploiting users. I hope you sleep well at night. ### 1/5 — Needs Help *2019-02-05, version 1.9.7* After purchasing the upgrade you can’t go back and add in your goal weight. It also isn’t user friendly and has you repurchase the app because it won’t let you sign back in on another device you always have to purchase. Definitely a few glitches and needs fixes. ### 1/5 — Noooo *2019-01-07, version 1.9.7* Paid for pro not easy to use. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2018-11-28, version 1.9.7* I can’t figure out how to log in the goal date and have tried everything. The set up for this app is not intuitive, and I feel that I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to figure it out. Frustrated. ### 1/5 — Can’t edit active fast *2018-11-03, version 1.9.7* Hard to figure out at first. You can’t edit an active fast. Sorry but that is absurd. I am not glued to my phone, I started hours before I could log it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-10-16, version 1.9.7* I was excited about this until I was on Day 3.5 of my fast and I looked at fasting timer and it was at 1.5 days or 40 something hours, it kept resetting daily , would never purchase ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple *2026-07-29, version 1.9.7* I’ve tried a lot of fasting apps these past 7 years. The ease and simplicity of this one makes it my go-to. The only thing I wish the hr feature was longer it only goes to 48. I sometimes want a longer fast like a 60, 72, or even a 90 hr. But it’s fine cuz you can just dial in your start and stop date/time. Been carnivore almost 2 years and this is the 1st longer fast I’ve done in a few years. (60 hrs) and WOW!! Total game changer going into a fast with ketones already over 2. Autophagy and deep deep ketosis HUT! ### 5/5 — This app makes fasting easier! *2025-11-05, version 1.9.7* This makes fasting easier and is motivating by seeing the continual timer of fasting. ### 5/5 — Nice -Simple app *2025-07-27, version 1.9.7* So far, I am a few days in. I have pretty simple needs and this app seems to fill them. The one item I would like is to record a fast that I had started in the past. For example, last night I completed my last food intake at 7pm. I didn’t intend to fast, but it’s 11:30am the following day. If I can go back to start one in the past, I haven’t found it as yet. ### 5/5 — Very good results *2024-04-03, version 1.9.7* This is a very easy app to navigate. I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Best app … *2023-05-22, version 1.9.7* … for tracking. Straightforward and simple. Amazingly it is free. Thank you ### 5/5 — Awesome app, been using it for years! *2023-04-04, version 1.9.7* I started doing intermittent fasting about six years ago, and this app has really been helpful with remembering exactly how long I’ve been fasting for, on a given day, and recalling my trends. It did not take long before I paid for the pro features, as the ability to set the start time on a fast (that I’ve already started) has been of huge value. I’m very grateful to the developers for creating and maintaining this app. It is part of my arsenal of tools that I rely upon. ### 5/5 — Simple and useful app *2021-03-04, version 1.9.7* What you get from this app, for free, is good enough. For only a a few dollars you can get the premium version. The pro start feature, which if you forget to start a fast, you can manually start a fast, totally worth the couple of bucks ### 5/5 — Great Program *2021-02-28, version 1.9.7* Love it!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I wish I had found this sooner! *2020-07-20, version 1.9.7* I just started fasting. I got a subscription to another app and it didn’t have nearly as much as this one and it cost $30 for 3 months. To get the one with everything I wanted was going to be even more. There were numerous apps just like that. I heard about this app and the pro version is only $1.99 and it’s not even a subscription! It’s a one time cost. I feel like I threw $30 out the window because this is the one I’m actually going to use. Don’t waste your money on the other apps. This one is fantastic. Thanks so much to the developers. 😊 ### 5/5 — My favorite fasting app so far *2020-07-03, version 1.9.7* I’ve tried several apps all with way too many features and unnecessary stuff. I love how easy it is to set up a fast. Then the app stores all your fasts automatically and has time adjustment in case you forgot to push “end fast”. So easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
