I like the simple visuals and the view of all my days that I have fasted. It encourages me and keeps me on track for my goals. Love it.🩷 ### 5/5 — Nice way to ease into Fasting *2025-08-16, version 2025.8* Introduced by a family member and I love this app for many reasons. 2nd time tracking my fast and this is by far an App worth having on your phone. You can custom your hours, tracking is friendly to use, appreciate the hour glass menu, also like the ability to track how you feel, log notes and it keeps history. You can see how close you are to your fasting goal. I use this along with my CGM. Well done app and worth leveraging this alongside if your monitoring your overall health. ### 5/5 — The Best Intermittent Fasting App *2025-06-24, version 2025.8* It’s simply the best intermittent fasting app out of all. It’s simple to understand. No confusing word usage. It’s an honest app that doesn’t trick clients into paying for useless and pointless options. All other intermittent apps can’t compare to how good Sunrise is. ### 3/5 — Nice but a little frustrating *2025-05-29, version 2025.6* Love the preset and custom app options. Came here from using Zero app because of their annoying subscription pop ups. In this app the interface is clean and simple to use. However, I wanted to use the notes option but cannot swipe away the keyboard to save notes. Why is the save notes button at the bottom of the screen and made inaccessible by the keyboard? Why does the vertical swipe to remove the keyboard also remove the notes screen completely and deletes my note. I cannot use this feature and it seems the developer didn't attempt this feature on an iphone. This simple thing should be fixed. ### 5/5 — Straight forward *2025-04-19, version 2025.6* I like this. Simple, easy to use and no unnecessary bits, especially as I use it alongside another health app. No problems at all. ### 5/5 — So easy to use. *2025-04-04, version 2025.5* This App is the perfect crutch to weight loss. Easy to use, no unnecessary extras, just a timer, an hourglass and you. I don’t bother with the part that registers mood. Its an unnecessary extra. ### 5/5 — fasting made easy!!! *2025-02-28, version 2025.5* LOVE this app!!! it is so flexible and easy to use!!!! ### 4/5 — Flexible and easy to use-a few suggestions *2025-02-16, version 2025.5* You can pick a fast but you can also say you’ve already started. User friendly. I love the monthly view of what I’ve fasted for history, I just wish for the monthly history it showed when you started and ended. I did a 48 hour and it shows the day I started with the hours I fasted and then blank until the next day I started a fast. I’d love some kind of marking to show I started, the time, and across the days in some other color-like a multi day event in outlook. I’d also love a chart that would pop up saying after this many hours I’m in ketosis, after this many hours fasting is doing this benefit…there are lots of videos which could be nice if I had time to watch them. But a quick infographic is easier. Other than that I love this ! Much more than the other one I was using ### 5/5 — Best free fasting app I have found *2025-02-04, version 2025.4* Easy to use! Easy to edit times. Keeps track of weight, mood and you can type in notes/pep talks to yourself. Best free app I have found! ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-12-22, version 2025.1* I have been using this app to track my IF progress for a while now! I can honestly say that it is the best one I have ever used! It’s simple to set up and minimalistic in the information it provides! I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles! I just want to know what time my fast starts and when it ends —as well as being able to view my history! This app checks all the boxes! ### 5/5 — One of the best fasting apps *2024-08-03, version 2024.9* I have been using this for a few years and it’s honestly one of the best fasting apps I have ever used whenever I need to intermittent fast for a few weeks or so I use this and it keeps me on track and even when I’m not fasting I’d like to use it just to make sure i’m not over indulging ### 5/5 — The best fasting app *2024-07-04, version 2024.9* This is the only fasting app I ended up keeping on my phone. It’s easy to use and motivating. ### 5/5 — The Best!! *2024-05-25, version 2024.8* I think I’ve tried at least 10 different free IF apps and this is the ONLY one with all the features I wanted! Reminders and super important to me was to be able to change my start and stop times as I don’t always remember to stop the clock when I break my fast. I also love that it connects with my Apple Watch and the Health app. Thanks for making this available!! ### 5/5 — Full featured *2024-04-30, version 2024.7* I have really enjoyed the app and like the fasting choices and quick links to resouces Very helpful app and free ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-04-09, version 2024.5* It’s surprising how much this app helps. When you can actually see how far your through your fast if your struggling. It gives you a boost. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Love this app! Close to perfect *2024-03-30, version 2024.5* I really like using this app for my 18:6 fast every day, and for sunrise->sunset fasting every March. It’s simple, clear, and I like seeing the history of my Fasts. There are just a few things I would change about the interface: - The Apple Watch complication is TOO TINY. It should use the biggest numerals that will fit. - The Apple Watch complication, the Home Screen widget, and the Live Activity should not be displaying seconds. I never care about seconds during a long fast, just hours and minutes. It takes up needless space and creates motion on the display that’s not useful. - The Live Activity bar is too wide. It stretches all the across the phone, blocking the time, but displays almost no information (90% of the bar is just black). Also, it makes accidental tapping on the bar far too easy. I finally had to disable Live Activities for this app because of this. Update: Thanks to the developers for the prompt feedback! That’s always a very good sign a worthwhile app. Been loving it so far. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is junk to me *2025-08-13, version 2025.8* 1) it didn’t keep me signed in! So my fast disappeared even though I logged in with the email I used and the password. 2) when I went to add it again - it only allowed me to do minutes when I fasted 16hr 45min. For the simple fact that it deleted my fast from yesterday this app is pure junk in my opinion. I thought I was going to love this app since I’m getting back into IF and my all time favorite IF app closed up shop last year after using it for 7 years! So back to the market I go! ### 1/5 — Wish you could pay just once *2024-05-24, version 2024.8* Not monthly. ### 1/5 — Sad *2024-03-10, version 2024.3* When i download the app to try it, it wont open ### 1/5 — No. *2023-11-29, version 2023.10* I want an app that remind me every day, not an app that I have to remind every day. ### 1/5 — Update sucks! *2022-02-06, version 2022.2.2* The app worked great until the latest update! Now it sucks! Can open on my phone but not my iPad. Please fix your update! ### 1/5 — Purchase by mistake *2021-11-14, version 2021.10.5* I purchased this by mistake, emailed the company and have had no reply. Not very professional!!! ### 1/5 — Never got to use it *2020-11-23, version 2.0.5* Why do they need my passwords for my email or apple just so I can use it? Put one in them it said error and asked me to give them another password so a bit skeptical probably made a mistake by giving them my password ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-07-10, version 2026.3* I’ve used it for two weeks on an 18 /6 fast but the stats show me only fasting two hours a day average. It can’t be changed so it’s pretty much useless. I wouldn’t waste my money . ### 2/5 — Pretty good *2024-12-02, version 2024.10* When your doing say a 20:4 fast , when you hit it , it stops the counter … it should keep counting in case you want to go for a few more hours without having to start a new fast ### 2/5 — Great app, I paid to unlock the full function *2021-06-01, version 2021.5.15* I do hope the app will allow user to choose faster hours longer than 168 hrs. Will change the rating to 5 star when longer hours are allowed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — actually a really good app to track your fasts!! *2026-07-31, version 2026.3* better than any i’ve used recently! ### 5/5 — Nice App *2026-06-10, version 2026.3* Easy to use and very straightforward, no ads and unnecessary marketing ### 5/5 — Excellent FREE App *2026-04-18, version 2026.2* Wonderful to find a genuinely FREE app that does everything you need. Really helps me stick to the fast as it clearly displays percentage completed plus how many hours to finish. Also love the history/calendar feature which helps me plan my next fast. I went straight in with the 36 hr Monk Fast and if you time it right eg 8pm start, it’s essentially just one day with no food. Never fasted before but I’m completely hooked. Really notice the loss of belly fat which I’d found hard to shift with low calorie meals and tons of exercise. Highly recommend the app to you. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-04-05, version 2026.2* Is simple and do exactly what I need ### 5/5 — So easy to use. *2026-03-06, version 2025.8* This App is the perfect crutch to weight loss. Easy to use, no unnecessary extras, just a timer, an hourglass and you. I don’t bother with the part that registers mood. Its an unnecessary extra. ### 5/5 — Helps a lot *2026-02-26, version 2025.8* Started using it I’ve been feeling more confident haven’t hit the ketosis yet, but I do feel a little more energy. Good app to use for beginners. ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Fasters *2026-02-23, version 2025.8* The best free app with options for upgrades. There are ads but they are minor and easy to dismiss. I always recommend this simple, easy Fasting tool. You can archive your fasts, too! ### 5/5 — Simple and flexible *2026-01-10, version 2025.8* I really like the free features of this fasting app. I like the flexibility to log past fasting times- or in my case- noticing that I have a good naturally occurring fast going and feel great and want to see my timing. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use very straightforward and doesn’t take me more than three minutes. *2025-10-21, version 2025.8* I like the app because it’s very easy to use very straightforward and it doesn’t take me more than three minutes to do every day ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-09-26, version 2025.8* 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
