This app is great!… BUT
Well I’ve been using this app for about 2 weeks now and I love it! It’s great! It’s informative and it helps me stay on track. My only problem is that it will not save my previous days achievements like steps, water I drank the interactions I have throughout the day. The next day all the previous days are erased. It only saves certain days which so far is only 2 days and there’s no way to edit that info so it could be more accurate. I thought I wasn’t doing something right but I can see the info on my watch but the app shows I’m not doing anything. The only thing that works is the fasting time and keep in mind I’m paying for the membership. I’d greatly appreciate some insight on this issue and lmk how to fix it.
PS: the app is up to date

PLEASE DON’T TAKE IT DOWN!!
I used to be overweight and I struggled with a BED for years, my doctor told me to start limiting my eating hours and intermittent fasting. I was hesitant at first, but I started slowly by downloading LIFE, and it helped me get out of my depession-rut. This app has helped me greatly, made me more confident in myself, and helped me lose 60lbs. But, 60lbs is just a number, let me say my actual experiences. I’ve been able to run more than a mile for the first time in years, I’ve been able to go swimming without keeping my shirt on, I’ve been able to mend my relationship with eating and food in general, but most important of all, it saved my life. If I had kept going down that depression/binge eating route, I probably wouldn’t be here, but LIFE saved me.
Please, if my small review and story has any affect on this decision, don’t take down the app.

It's the only fasting app you need!
I love this app! it makes it really easy to keep track of my fasts and have a community at the same time. The only thing that I can't figure out is how to edit the start time of a fast while you're already in the middle of fasting. I've been fasting for almost 24 hours in a few mins but can't record that bc it wants me to start a new fast but not let me change the times of when it should start and end since I already started the fast. It gives an error message saying change the times you already have this fast. I'm like ??? It's hard to find answers to questions like this too. Other than that issue the app is great!

To The Creators (Please Read)
Hello! I have used your app since 2019 and it’s been my favorite tracker since, I’ve heard that the app is closing down (?) and just wanted to desperately ask for a reconsideration from my personal experience. I have suffered with a binge eating disorder / bulimia for years and my doctor had recommended intermittent fasting for me, I have been overweight my whole life but it has gotten serious once it started affecting my health. I struggled many times in the beginning but about 5 years in I am so much better than I ever imagined I’d be, I have healthily lost the weight, started going to the gym and am no long am at risk of diabetes. I know it sounds silly but this app truly does mean a lot to me and has tremendously helped me in so many ways, I never thought I’d get to this point in my life.
And even if this silly note doesn’t cause you reconsider your decision, I just want to thank you for helping me and so many other people over the past years who have used your app.
Thank you.

wasn’t going to leave a review but it’s annoying me
so i love this app. it helps me so much, i love there’s a community, i love the break downs of the fasting. but my phone has low storage! i know this! i don’t need to see it on an app i use. that’s annoying, apple reminds me every second of everyday i don’t need some random app to remind me too?? and it’s also not even an app that’s connected to apple id get if it were the health app or something but it’s a separate app from apple/ my phone. it would be fine (i guess) if it were once and that was it. but it’s every. single. time. i open the app and it’s not just a one notification thing but multiple pop ups where i have to dismiss 3-5 messages before being able to use the app. PLEASE STOP. i get it!!!!! it might not work or will have an affect on the way the app works I DONT CARE!! it makes me want to find a different app. stop. please.

Handy But Could Be Better
I like this app and the UI is attractive and easy to use. However, I’d like to see the following improvements:
1. Show all milestones on the fasting arc that would be reached for current fast WHEN THE FAST STARTS. So, for a 24-hour fast, at least three fasting milestones should appear on the arc at the beginning of the fast—ketosis, heavy ketosis, and autophagy. Right now, only the ketosis icon shows at the beginning of the fast until you get farther into it. Then, the next milestone shows up.
2. In addition to showing all milestones that could be achieved for the current fast, each milestone should indicate the hour it will be achieved (ketosis at 12 hours, heavy ketosis at 18, autophagy at 24, etc.).
So basically, the fasting arc should look like the graphic used for the “5 Stages of Intermittent Fasting” at the beginning of the fast (but show only those milestones that will be achieved during the current fast) and also include the number of hours each milestone will be achieved.

Estevan E. (47 years old)
I started to fast this past week, the first 2 days were for 19 hours, and on the 3rd day for 20 hours. I was exited and knew the outcome like feeling a little frustrated, feeling hunger pains and a slight tension on the back of my neck when ketosis kicks in. I was on the 4th day of fasting, but what amazed me is that I work out every morning with my wife before work and I was getting bursts of more energy and endurance thinking that I was going to feel weaker but I didn’t. I also had a euphoric feeling all day, I told my wife, out of no where going to work, I feeling really happy. I was good for 22 hours with out any frustration, hunger pains, and no tension behind my neck. I would recommend this Life Fasting App to people who want to have a healthier body and longevity in life.

Gives error message if you edit fasts
I use a lot of fasting apps, I’ve been IF (intermittent fasting) off and on for about two months. It does work! This app is very smooth and graphically appealing. The widget tells me immediately how well I’m doing or where I need to improve. The limitation of the free version is that you cannot change the day for example if I start fasting on Saturday then stop on Sunday—then start fasting again Sunday — there’s an error message stating a fast already occurred. Of the three + apps I’ve tried and one I use religiously this is the only one that gives that error message erroneously lol. I think it’s a bit of a scheme to get people to subscribe. Keep going on your health care going and this app does work just needs fixed.

Widget Doesn’t Work
I love this app and have been using it for years but recently I figured out that you can make a widget on your home screen with this app so that you can see your fasting time without going into the app. Unfortunately every time that I have tried using this widget the numbers are off-center as soon as the number starts going up, so the hour number you can’t even see, making the widget pointless. Hope the devs see this and fix it so I can use this widget function bc I was really excited about it!!

Can’t open the app :((
Update: They have contacted me few times with questions which I appreciate it … BUT I already had provided information asked, but they never offered any resolution or insight. I felt like they’re reaching out, but acted as if “some people” have issues … but if you look on the reviews … a LOT people can’t open the app any longer.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max … and … I’ve never ever had issues opening apps, except this one. So I gave up — just deleted the app and will request a refund.
————————————
I’ve used in the past, then took a break. Just tried opening the app now and all I see the “waiting to upload” icon. I deleted and reinstalled the app … still the same problem!!! Ugh!!

Pretty good but
It’s a pretty good app and definitely a good price considering how expensive some of these apps are. However, I was disappointed when tracking my water intake and steps through my journey and then work up this morning to have the prior two days not there! Where did the data go?? Plus, I wasn’t able to go back a day or two to add them so now it looks like I didn’t drink any water for 2 days or take any steps. Not a huge deal because I know I did but it would be nice for that information to be counted especially since I did reach my steps and water goals and I’m paying for it, so you kinda want it to be accurate and reliable.

I Like The App!
The app keeps me on track and reminds me when to start and end my fasts. I am having one problem…I have to keep going to the subscribe button to see when my next fast starts because when I end my fast it doesn’t tell me how many hours before I start my next fast. I am a subscriber already so I should not have to pretend like I trying to subscribe. I have deleted the app and reloaded the app but still doesn’t work right. Other than that I really enjoy the app.

Small Change
Hello developers!!
I love the life app. It has been so beneficial with being accountable to something when I don’t have someone with me 24/7 to motivate me to stick to it. The only thing is that when I want to go more than 14 days I find it to be tedious to hit the plus so many times. I wanted to do 30 days and I truly almost didn’t because it was time consuming to push it hundreds of times.
Would you please see about adding a calendar feature where we can pick the dates and times?? Or even a scroll wheel would be good with days, hours, minutes, and seconds so we can scroll through the numbers and set our own times. Or even pick some preset times and/or dates and just get right to the fast. For example for those who intermittent fasting you can pick 16:8, 12:12, 20:4, and so forth and you can set up your days and what days you want to do what fasting schedule especially if you’re looking to build momentum to get to a place where you can fast for longer.
These are just some ideas I have and if you can see if there would be something you could implement that would be great!! Thanks again for the fantastic app.

The best
By far the best Fasting app.!Love how they have the active widget. Love how u can set how long you want to fast. Only thing that I think would put it over the top would of there was a place to put a picture like a background picture or a target goal picture of what ur focus is. Some ppl might be a vacation spot or a wedding dress or a favorite pair of jeans or a reward like a tattoo or shoes or whatever it is if you hit ur goal whether it be fasting hours or weight but be nice to have it in the app and/or widget so when u get that temptation devil and u think about breaking u are reminded when u go change ur mood status some of the rewards that u set for yourself along the way. But overall i recommend this app it is the best one out there

Simple and Bright
I know many people like tracking tons of data - I do too on many things.
But when it comes to fasting I just want something straight forward, where the graphics are bright, where I can adjust my hours as needed. I love being able to customize my mood.
And then I just carry on with the fast without spending a ton of time dwelling on other data - I just want to have a good day while I’m at it without measuring everything.
Life Fasting gives me those straightforward tools that work for me personally.
Thank you!

Allows groups and teens who have anorexia to remain
Fasting is great if you are overweight, have certain chronic disorders, are looking for a healthier way to eat, mental clarity, etc. but there are some groups that should not fast. Pregnant women shouldn’t be fasting, children shouldn’t be fasting, be people who have eating disorders shouldn’t be fasting.
You’ll find 2 of the 3 on this platform immediately. 14 to 16 year olds who are promoting anorexia and have goal weights as low as 70lbs on their bio. 70lbs as a 16 year old? Not a healthy weight at all.
This content doesn’t just stay within the circles labeled “rexi and buls” as in anorexia and bulemia, but it’s also in the general circles that show skinny pictures of people with a whale as a status. Every one of these people (mostly young girls, as always) is fasting 20-30 hours at a time and most of them are frequently fasting and posting daily.
I switched to this app as a secondary app to Zero which is simply a tracker with some information, and I thought this would be better since it’s a community. Yet that community is essentially 30% rebadged girls who are suffering and promoting their suffering to other young girls.
I reached out to the app and they told me they patrol and delete them, yet I’ve seen these people for months doing the same things.
It’s unhealthy for everyone. I will no longer take part. Deleted my account.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. The areas you discuss are some that we take very seriously. We do specifically call out the specific groups you mention, as well as others, as users that should not use our app in the user agreement and content guidelines. We also actively review and remove Circles and/or users that are in violation of those guidelines. You did the right thing by bringing those users to our attention, thank you.
Love but I have a suggestion
First off LOVE the app and the community that’s on it! I didn’t my first ever 5 day EF (extended fast) and wouldn’t have been able to finish it without the support I received .
Not sure if the developers or customer service watches or takes note of these reviews but is there some way we could in a later update be able to choose how many “days” instead of hours?
It would help or if that’s mot possible could we at least be able to write in how many hours we want, I’ll be honest having to constantly press the “+” button to get to the selected hours is tedious !
Again love the app just want to make it more friendlier to use for us consumers on the user end, thanks!

:(
This app used to be my favorite and I’ve used it for a long time. It’s just gotten weird. They changed how you can view past fasts to a way that doesn’t make a lot of sense. I like to write them down and sometimes I forget, and going back to look at previous fasts is clunky. The real reason I’m leaving this app is that it doesn’t seem like it’s for me anymore. The first menu is now about groups and friends, and I don’t have friends that also fast. I wish they’d go back to the weekly view of fasting hours completed, and maybe have a setting for those who don’t need the social aspects?

Terrible update
I use to use this app daily. I was in the process of doing an extended water fast when they removed that option. They will not let you do anything over an week. Apparently they know more about your body than you do. I am very obese 380+ pounds, and my doctor was intending to supervise me. I liked that I would be able to track the days within the app but since that has been removed I have switched to a regular countdown app. I’m sure you can track it week by week but that’s not only inconvenient but also confusing. Especially if trying to track hours in ketosis. Not to mention seeing it broken up, or seeing that it has “ended” may cause lack of motivation or cause you to quit your fast earlier than intended.

Only good for short fasts.
Meh. This app is okay, but it limits you to a 7 day fast. If you want to do a 10-21 day master cleanse it’s utterly useless unless you want to break it into increments (which may encourage you to give up early if an increment ends near a moment of weakness). It’s hard to believe that the creators are “pro-fasting” when they severely restrict the type of fasts this app supports. I had to download a new app that can support extended fasts. I don’t like having two apps. Honor the needs of your audience even if it’s just offered as an a la carte add-on feature.
