I’ve been using this app for YEARS. Since around 2019. And let me tell you— it’s a shell of what it once was. It started as an app with all the functionality I needed: it allowed me to track my fasts, view my past fasts, and track my weight in a weekly, monthly, and yearly view for FREE. Then all these new features began to be added. Log your meals and you mood when your finish your fast and log your sleep, for free, and you could see the different stages of your fasts and get additional insight and fasting advice, for a subscription. Since then they’ve added log your water intake. Log your calories and your protein intake. Log your glucose, your ketone levels, your activity, and your heart rate. But you can only actually view any of your OWN data from the current week. You used to be able to see your fasts in a calendar view that told you your total fasting hours for the month and an overview of how many times you met your goals that month, plus your total fasting history if you chose to scroll back in time in the calendar, and additionally you could see your fasting hours, as well as your weight logs in a graph view for the current week, month, and year to see the trends of how you were doing. Well now even those feature are paywalled. Which guess what? Makes the app pretty close to useless unless you’re paying for a subscription. And you know what else? If I was a new user testing out the app, I would immediately delete it, because there’s not even enough bare minimum functionality TO TEST at this point. The ONLY thing you can still do at this point is track your fasts for the current week, as well as the other things for the current week. This app started with the idea of making healthy fasting more accessible and easier to establish for everyday people. Well congratulations, you’ve now succeeded at doing just the opposite and leaning completely into greed. And it’s for these reasons that I am leaving your app. Some of the initial paid features, I actually was hoping to utilize at some point, when I had more money. But as time went on, the free functionality became less and less, and even though I eventually had enough money to cover a subscription, I decided not to pay for one, because it was clear that more and more the app was about greed than about helping people. And finally, I have had it. When an app leaves everything to be desired and delivers nothing upfront (for free), it gives new users no reason to want to continue with that app. If I was trying out the app for the first time, there’s nothing for me to even utilize to gauge wether or not the paid features would be worth it. People are tired of subscriptions everywhere. Tired of every penny being squeezed when nearly 50% of people are living paycheck to paycheck and are worrying about if they’ll have enough money to pay rent AND afford groceries. This app has gone from practically perfect when it started to absolutely controlled by greed and worthless to those who can’t afford to give in to that greed. And is the app great if you pay for it? Sure. But about half of the features included used to be free. So is the app really better? Or are they just charging for things that unnecessarily? I think the answer is obvious. So this is the end. Goodbye and good riddance.
