Intermittent fasting makes your body regulate itself as it was designed by mother nature. It helps lose excessive weight and reinstating normal body processes that you might lost due to binge eating.

STATISTICS - Chart your progress and see how you improve your fasting practice from day to day. THEMES - Make it truly yours with a variety of beautiful color themes to choose from. WIDGET - Have a glance at your fasting progress right from the home screen. LEVELS - Keep you engaged and motivated to reach the peak title “The Fasting Guru”.

The clearest difference is ads: Horizon at none against Fasting Time's shown. Horizon also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Fasting Time's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
