Fastic AI Food Calorie Scanner Reviews

by Alison Krull

It's 2021 and eating disorders and body dysmorphia has practically shaped society today. Apps like these destroy people's self-worth and begin to create an ideal that starving yourself is okay. My first problem with FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is its accessibility to young impressionable children of the age of 12 and up. This is how society has slipped into unhealthy coping mechanisms for decades. Imagine a child who just wants to play a game sees an ad showing an “unhealthy” body. Not only are there already millions of unhealthy examples of this on social media, but by putting this ad on games you are practically manufacturing children and young adults to believe there are right and wrong appearances. Even the exam on just the ad could be the exact healthy weight for a person. So to all the creators of FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner you truly disgust me and are only pushing society backward. BMI alone has been proven to be a false measurement of someone's health and you by all means do not get to decide what that looks like. To all the people who are considering downloading FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner, I hope you know no matter what society says about “ideal and unideal” body, they are wrong. Endless you are having legit medical problems please see an actual doctor see what the root of the problem is rather than feeding into an active example of propaganda. I encourage you to love yourself and look past what an inappropriate misguided app has to say about it. All bodies are perfect no matter what they look like.

I am an avid TRF/IF fan for therapeutic reasons, not just weight management. A friend of mine ask for help on FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner , so I downloaded it, pretty straight forward, not difficult to use, limited capabilities. The main thing it does is bug you to upgrade constantly and say there is a 3 month guarantee. I went ahead and signed up for a year to see if it was worth it and if I should recommend the upgrade to my friends or FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner to other IF enthusiasts, it doesn’t say conditional refund, but it certainly is. READ THE FINE PRINT. Conditional refund based upon daily use for 90 days, putting your weight in weekly and not losing 3% of your weight. So it is not a refund at all. You can not actually fast on schedule for 90 days and not lose 3% of your body weight. So perhaps there is some value in the free side of this, but paying anything is a waste of money, with no satisfaction guarantee. The help center is not in English. They do not have an Apple Watch app, which would be helpful, clearing up the crash instances would be good. It does not connect to Apple health other than for steps, so you must manually enter weight to track progress. It does not conform to CCPA and GDPR standards. So using the Free side, might be helpful, but there are many alternatives out there, that do not harass for upgrade. Good Luck, You have been warned.

Overall it’s a great app when used in conjunction with a CICO monitoring app (like MyFitnessPal, etc.). But if you have FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner installed on multiple devices, like a phone and a tablet, if you don’t open both apps every single day multiple times, one of the apps will think that you aren’t fasting anymore and will delete your streak or mess with your fasting clock. It’s frustrating to be on a streak only to have one of the apps stop your timer and delete your streak because it thinks that you stopped using it, when in reality you’ve been using it on your other device. Even being signed into my account on both devices doesn’t prevent this, I don’t understand why both apps don’t sync with each other when they are signed into the same account.

Also every now and then I will do a 24-36 hour fast, if you don’t open FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner with in that period several times, it will also assume that you stopped using FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner and will reset or stop your clock, ruining your fasting and losing your streak. I understand and appreciate the coaching aspect of FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner, but they really need to fine tune and relax these hard stops. Maybe extend the timer/streak resets to two or three days before automatically stopping the timer? I feel that about half the time I’m fighting with FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner and I ultimately wish it would just leave my timer and streaks alone.

FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is fine for a simple timer to see how long you’ve been fasting and it includes a water tracker, which is great, but I have learned more from support groups and free online resource about how to fast compared to the lessons FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner offers. I joined Fastic’s recommended group and everyone in there is hateful. Mocking and belittling others decision to clean fast vs. dirty fast; dieting vs. straight fasting (shaming food choices diring eating window).
During my time in the group, I added some users as a Buddy. This resulted in tons of notifications when someone started fasting, multiple (5+) push notifications for one, single person who just began fasting. Also a notifications every single day when I reached 12 hours of fasting asking me how I feel, but it was at night when I was sleeping. That was not useful at all. Since I have no ability to customize notifications, I had to turn all off. Constant ads to update to plus membership in another language. I couldn’t read the offer to even make a decision. Yes, the language/location on both FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner and my phone is correct.
FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner was more annoying than useful.

The Fastic App has potential to be a great tool, however there are some key issues with the community tab.

After being on here for about two weeks, I’ve decided to delete FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner . What’s the point in fasting from food if you can’t fast from negativity. The chat room is toxic 90% of the time from toxic behavior and no moderation. Fasting is a difficult task already and part of the attraction to the Fastic App was the ability to engage in conversation with others also on their respective journeys toward a healthier life. However, other Fastic users repeatedly spam the chat, attack other Fastic app users, and engage in extremely toxic behavior well into the classification of cyber bullying. I wish everyone the best on their journeys and remember you don’t have to take part in bad behavior. Insecurities really show here and sometimes it seems normal to be abusive, while not even realizing it. The block and reporting feature do not work at the moment so one can’t ignore the other persons behavior. It effects the entire atmosphere of the community tab. Please fix this chat or the select few who are inducing this behavior stop. With some changes to give the user more control on blocking and reporting, moderators or filters in the chat room, FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner will be a great too for the countless humans ready to take a step to a healthier version of themselves. Regardless if you care or not, Enjoy and much love to you all. 🙏🏽❤️🌱.

FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is great on many fronts. The aid to keep up with your water intake, the cycle of fasting calculations and the good information it provides alongside your fast. I don’t know anything about the coaches or any of the other paid sort as I’m on the free side. But get this: FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner acts like a game! Even if you started your fast, if you did not activate it on FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner , FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner considers that day a loss. FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner , like a game contains fire and stars and ice whatevers that you collect and use to skip days you lost to continue your progress and when you forget to notify FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner of your fast and don’t have any ice or in game currency you automatically lose your progress. I get that the game is trying to keep you motivated, but the fact that it doesn’t activate without you checking in on it, ergo it shutting your progress so far because of it makes FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner a complete money grab, and useless to say the least. I have only used it for 3 days, and so far it’s proving useful, but if you’re someone who lives life to the fullest and is too busy in the day to check your phone constantly to keep up with FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner , then don’t bother. There are many other apps that do just the basics like calculate and time you while you fast! FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is no different when you’re on the free end and don’t bother with the “game” aspect of it...

by T'Arii

I gave it 3 stars because what I got it for is great, but the other stuff is either just ok, too basic, or you have to pay in order to use.

I got it just for the fasting tracker, which is great if you are doing 16:8 fasting. There is no other fasting option. But, you choose your start time and it lets you know your end time. And there is a timer that counts down, and it will send you notifications when to start and stop. This feature is great and really the only thing I use it for. The other features it offers for free are ok. The step counter works great. Just carry your phone everywhere you go and it counts your steps (as long as it’s not in your purse or bag). Works just like the built-in pedometer on the Health app. You can even set a step goal. The water tracker allows you to set a daily goal, but you can only count water and only in 8oz increments. (I use the Drink Water app-it’s free and works much better.) You can also have a friend join you in fasting. If you both have FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner or an account it will track your progress together.

You need to pay for a membership plan to access all the other features such as eating suggestions and meal plans, challenges, help, etc.

I loved FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner! That is until my second day when I got into the community chat portion. I had a few questions about intermittent fasting, so I decided to give the group chat a try. I was instantly bullied, cussed at, and so were others who were trying to use FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner for (shocker) intermittent fasting! I was then told to get off the group chat if I wasn’t going to “act sexy” or socialize on it. Then I was told I should not be on there for fasting questions. The horrible part (to make matters even worse) was that some of their employees were also involved in the inappropriate chat sessions. Nevertheless, I made my complaint and was only told they were “sorry” for my inconvenience. I wouldn’t pay half of the money that they are charging for FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner to be bullied and cussed at. Truth is it’s a half decent app, if you’re willing to put up with the above crap and don’t mind paying for not being able to have full usage of it. I don’t think I will be renewing my membership at the end of the month. There are a tons of decent fasting apps for half the price.

I’ve been using FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner for 9 months and am a paid user. It is the reason I’ve lost 30 pounds and have now finally achieved a “healthy” BMI again after the fluctuations of growing 2 human beings. It taught me the science of fasting to motivate me, prompts me to drink throughout the day, and in general holds me accountable. I loooove the graph of weight over time, which for me is quite motivational. But it’s not just the weight loss - when you take yourself to autophagy on a regular basis, you really do begin to feel “clean”. It’s really been very nice for me- which is not to say it will work for everyone.

There are a few issues:
1. Support is suuuuuper slow. In early December, it took them about 5 days to auto-acknowledge they had received my message and another week to answer.
2. So. Many. Glitches. I have no idea why someone thought the latest major update was a good idea. As reviews show, newer people can’t figure out how to set their fasting splits. Also, FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is now telling me to fast before it’s actually my fasting time and WORSE tells me it’s time to eat before my timer is up! That’s ridiculous.

by Melwevans

So far I’ve been doing fasting for a month, I’ve lost 8 lbs and I haven’t seen weight loss like that since I was in my 20s and working out every day. I have not needed to work out and I’ve been drinking more water. The insights are so helpful and makes you feel like you are really accomplishing something and hitting goals.

The down side is that you have to track water by cups and most people use a water bottle so it would be nice to track in ounces. Also the areas where reports are, tend to be hard to read and the profess can we hard to tell some weeks.

One last note is that I have always been someone who struggled to stop eating once I started during the day. FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner has helped to empower me to eat only during my window and the results spur me on to continue every day. I really like that I can change my fasting method each day as there are days that I need to go to events and eat before 1 PM. Overall wonderful app!

by KatieI70s

I picked a difficult level from the get go (fast 6:30pm-12:30pm). It’s hard for me right now, but getting easier by the day. FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner helps you track and reminds you to drink water, which I really need. It gives you daily challenges like “eat a handful of nuts to break your fast.” There are exercise challenges and it counts your steps. It gave me nutrition selections and recipes for vegetarians because I was able to select that option. If you forget to hit the button that you are fasting or done, then you can retroactively change it. It adjusts fasting times for you. I started at 6:10 pm last night so I fast until 12:10pm today. I’m using this for weight loss and 3 days in, I’ve lost 3-4 pounds. I have also stopped using artificial sweeteners, part of a challenge. Everyday, it gives you a lesson into intermittent fasting and they are interesting. I also don’t feel like my migraines are any worse with this. I don’t feel sluggish or foggy. So, only a few days in, but totally recommend this! I’m also pleased it’s helping me make better choices (like no artificial sweeteners in drinks and eating more nuts/dried fruit to feel satiated.

I have tried 16:8 Intermittent fasting on my own before and even though the concept is so easy, I totally failed. And this is coming from someone who was a pretty thoughtful and healthy eater, and then toddlers happened. I found it difficult to keep an eye on my fasting/eating windows on my own bc I also was juggling two other schedules.

But FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner changed that completely. So easy, it’s really positive and motivating (you never feel defeated which I think is such an important aspect of reaching a goal), there’s so much more you can utilize out of it as far as additional habits, and you can go back and edit your times bc sometimes life takes us away from our phones but we still met our goals.

I’ve lost weight, I drink wayyyyyy more water, and feel really good and it’s 100% bc of FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner. PS I bought another app a week before this one and so glad I decided to ditch that one for this one!

I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 5-6 months now, about a month before quarantine, and FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is good at what it says it will do.
As mentioned before, I’ve been fasting for a few months now, and I have very rarely broken the fast. I’m going to say only a handful of times in special situations, but it was always hard to remember the exact hours I would begin fasting. FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is great with keeping track of how long I’ve been fasting, and the feature of it alerting when the fasting is over is great as well. I don’t upgrade from the free version because honestly I just need something to help me track, and that’s exactly what this is. I’m aware I use it as a glorified stop-watch basically, but it meets all the needs I have in an app about tracking my fasting periods.
I love the way that everything on FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is easily accessible and I can flip between screens as efficiently as I need too between breaks at work and whatnot. I love the little information that is given, even if it’s super basic information. It’s great as what it advertises to do, and it doesn’t make its advertisements all about the upgraded features that a lot of people don’t like to buy into.
It’s a neat little app that is user friendly and I will be using for at least another month before I go back to college and get thrown off the routine. Keep up the good work guys!

I gained in weight a year ago. I'm 5’0, and I have been skinny all my life until my hormone starting kicking off a year ago. I have always been active, but since I'm getting a little bit, older. I'm getting lazy. My knees aren't healthy like it used too, plus also I got married since then my weight got out of control. I gain 20 pounds I used to be 110 now 130. However, I decide to pay for FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner to help me reach my goal and learn to control my eating habits. So far I'm thrilled because I started on Monday and today is Wednesday I have lost 3pounds which I weight now 127 until I reach my goal I won't stop. There is a lot of support, great lessons and community support as well I have joined the Facebook fastic community, and there people giving you advice. Don't hesitate to give a try so far it works. Also, FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner provides you a receipt for healthy food, and there is a lot another great thing they provide. Try you won't be disappointed. However, you need to be very strong, willing not to be tempted. Good luck.

I’ve wanted to change my habit of over eating and develop self discipline. They say “when you control what you eat, you can control your world”. FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner without the Fastic plus has been amazing! There were times I wanted to give up and give in to the foods when my family would eat very late at night but it seems to know when you need encouragement. So far, I’ve been drinking more water, eating more veggies, and read valuable lessons that I have applied to my life. I have very little self control when it comes to food, especially meat. Veggies and I have become good friends now especially with my digestive system. I have more self discipline than before with food! I know if my family eats late, they always try to save me some for the next day during my eating period. A big plus was that I can have a fasting buddy! My boyfriend also has food controlling problems, he tends to eat very late at night and doesn’t have a routine applied. It has helped him lose fat in some areas of his figure! And develop a great routine for him to eat. And for me too! So far I’ve lost 7 pounds in the last week. I’m not starving myself, I’m drink more water and I feel so much better than before! The different levels of fasting also help too. I started with 16/8 but when things got difficult I reduced it a beginner level fasting then build up to 16/8 and that’s where I’ll stay and won’t go further. I’ll consider Fastic Plus in the future ❤️

I am a type of a person who can download bunch of apps but soon to find that I am not using them. I had lots of stress after loosing my husband a year and half ago. My weight sky rocketed and I seem to be in a vicious circle. I learned a lot about Intermittent Fasting (IF) but it was hard to keep up with everything falling on my plate. With FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner I feel I can totally do it! And actually doing it! My game now is to stick with it. It has been a week and since the way app is made I am logging in every day and with helpful hints I am keeping up with my IF. I feel great. I am not craving sweets or junk. More over my sleep is much better, which was a huge issue. I lost two pounds, in first week which is a game😃 every week loose two pounds . But most importantly my clothes feels loose. Yes I am loosing inches! I want to thank developers and creators of FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner. I like the way you did it. Also reminding me to log in with my crazy busy schedule very helpful! It is like having personal assistant who is watching you for your healthy habits!

I started using FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner almost 2wks ago. I used the free version and thought I’d give that a try first before upgrading to the Plus version. I just upgraded today. It’s worth it. I like how it reminds you to drink your water and tacks it , has a built in step tracker and “education corner “ where there is a few courses to learn. There is also a menu with what looks like 100 or more recipes. Tips & recipes on what to eat when breaking fast.
Track your weight and your progress with FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner.
I really like that it will tell you what process your body is undergoing at certain points of time during the fast. Very interesting and cool app.
I’m sticking with my fast and while I’ve not gotten on scale yet to weigh in , I can tell I’m feeling much better and my clothes are looser. It’ll be easier to get into the habit of eating when I’m actually hungry (which I’m not during fast ) Vs eating out of boredom and FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner helps with that. If you serious about changing your health , give it a try. The free version is great as is. I just wanted to explore a bit more and got the Plus version . Either is good. Do it!

Fastic has far exceeded my expectations. There are so many features that FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner includes. It’s amazing. You simply enter in when you start fasting, enter the length that you want to fast every day and you’re pretty much set! There are also challenges that FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner encourages you to do every day. When you are fasting there is a timer that tell you how long you have left to fast and what is happening to your body in detail while you’re fasting. After you press the stop fasting button it’s shows you up in the top right corner how long you’ve fasted and it shows in the top middle how many days you’ve fasted. If you ate 30 minutes past the time you were supposed to stop, that’s okay! You can change what time you stopped eating or even when you stopped fasting! I’ll always recommend this amazing app and I’ll be using it until FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is gone! It’s not only good for losing weight, fasting helps get rid of bad toxins in your body. Who wouldn’t want an app that helps you be more healthy? FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner is definitely worth it. Go for it! Get FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner for a better healthier lifestyle.

by MTMassage

I love Fastic! I’m so glad for the reminders I get to drink water and when to start fasting. The information FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner developers put together for users is so helpful. I love the fasting graphic on here so that if I feel I’m struggling to reach my goal of a 12 or 16 or 20 hr fast, I can just go into FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner and it’ll tell me what phase of the fasting period I’m on and what’s happening to my body. I also like the weight scale and seeing that orange bar steadily working its way to my goal weight. Seeing my progress visually really helps me stay motivated. If you are young and have been struggling with hormones and losing weight after gallbladder surgery, thyroid or hysterectomy or any other gynecologist type required surgery, I can honestly tell you intermittent fasting, exercise and using Young Living Esential oils and supplements have been helping me so much!
It’s been months now since I’ve been on any anti depression medication thanks to Young Living’s emotional support oils and Fastic for the coaching. Also using MyPlate to track what your eating is also helpful in addition to the Fastic program! My only bummer comment is that there’s so much other great information but it’s only available if you pay for Fastic plus and not everyone has the money nor wants a health app we have to pay for to see content that could be helpful.

by Gidgy 21

Nothing free with FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner. Go on the web and just get free info on how to do intermittent fasting.

by Anay0104

Its not possible to add fasting buddy on iphone

It is hard to keep track of chat. Who is talking to who is so confusing reply inline option should be implemented

by Raccoon5522

Need to cancel how do I do it please

by JennhLA

I downloaded FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner due to the high rating. You can use the fasting clock for free, but I noticed there was a diet plan as well for $30 for 3-months. The diet plan made no sense at all. There are foods I’ve never heard of like corgettes, brown bread, and under cereal - had things like pizza crust - which is not cereal. So confusing. I realized this was a foreign app so it’s hard for me to relate. Unfortunately I already paid in order to see what it was all about. Not going to be using this at all.

by BluesQueen

Where did the hours of 12 and one go, and the minutes 00, 01, 02 and 03 go? Your rolling selector for time goes from 11:59 to 2:04. There is no in between. How did you lose the time? Were you abducted by aliens? No, I do not want your antiquated diet plan. You di not seem to know what carnivore is. I have been carnivore a year and am very healthy. Animal proteins only. No plant-based foods, they are the cause of inflammation. My blood tests and check ups are excellent.

by Chaterbug66

Good for basic fasting and will help you keep track the water tracker is cool but it doesn’t adjust to your body weight and heigh as you need more if your bigger. The constant throwing paid content in your face is annoying and a con but it’s good
At reminding you when to start and end the fast

by Panda8403

I am really loving FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner so far, I only have the free version but the lessons are still great!! I can only imagine what the full version has!

I love FasticAIFoodCalorieScanner it’s really helpful

by Bainlaw

Best part is the fasting clock. Easily reminds you when you started and what your goal is.
