FastHabit Intermittent Fasting Reviews

I was excited to use a tool to help me track my beginners progress with FastHabitIntermittentFasting ...so excited I convinced my hubby to join me and purchase the Pro option as well. Unfortunately, we experienced several glitches...a) we would start the fast from our Apple Watch and then we would notice on the actual app on the phone the tracking hadn’t begun, b) the reminders that our fast had ended didn’t alert use besides activating that option, c) it was not user friendly in explaining what Apple Watch face options to use in order to see the quick view of Fast Habit. Unfortunately after three days of use, my hubby + I decide by to discontinue using FastHabitIntermittentFasting and calling it a lost on both the purchases of the PRO option. I would say use FastHabitIntermittentFasting at your discretion but I really don’t see how it stands out against just using reminders in your phone for start/end purposes..:you can track stats in other free .99 apps.

This basic app works decent for general tracking but it needs to be updated because it has a serious flaw that is going to make me have to drop it and find a different app. You can not start multiple fasts on the same date. This is a big issue for me. I work nights and I start my fasts at midnight every night or a little before midnight. When I don’t work the next day I start my fast when done with dinner at a normal time like say 9pm. I can’t start my fast in FastHabitIntermittentFasting at 9pm due to the fast I started at midnight the same day then broke for dinner with the family the. Started again after that meal. FIX this glitch. Or I’m moving on to a different app.

2021 update. Here we are 4 years later and still no iCloud syncing. 5 years of IF data lost forever and no response from developers on the issue. Are there plans to implement iCloud saving data? And if not why not? Can we at least have an explanation? Also it would be nice if there is a working Apple Watch complication so fast can be started from the watch.

Switched to the new phone and lost almost a year of history. This is a great app but it doesn’t seem to sync with iCloud. What app in 2017 especially pro paid app doesn’t have iCloud syncing? Another wise great app that does what it should. If you can remember to export your data manually.

I learned about FastHabitIntermittentFasting from reading reviews on a different app. I downloaded it because they said it was free and very user friendly. Well it was the exact opposite!!! I tried to do the free version... no such thing! Every time I tried to set up a basic fast period in the free version, it kept saying “update to the $2.99 pro version.” So out of pure frustration I finally updated to pro. FastHabitIntermittentFasting is very buggy and it’s not user friendly. I am still not able to set up a fast and get reminders and all the other great things that they promised. Now I will have to look for another fasting app... very sad!
I am requesting a refund in good faith because FastHabitIntermittentFasting is not delivering on its promotions and promises. Thank you.

It’s pretty good, but there’s an issue if you try to store two fasts that start on the same day. Say you start a fast just after midnight. Maybe you got off track or your schedule is weird. If I fast for 16 hours then that fast would end at 4pm the same day. Now I want to get back on my usual schedule so I want to start my next fast earlier than midnight. FastHabitIntermittentFasting will only store one fast per day though, so doing this would overwrite my fast that started after midnight because they technically start on the same day.

I’ve been using FastHabitIntermittentFasting (paid version) for about a month and have not found any bugs. The interface is clean and FastHabitIntermittentFasting is very easy to set up and use. A couple of caveats. I do not have an Apple Watch so I cannot comment on any syncing problems people may be reporting. Things that could be added include better tracking and display of the target fasting goal. The current version limits this to one target. For example, I started by trying to fast 13 hours per day, but I’ve been increasing the time fasting (now at 16, but had tried 18 for a brief period). FastHabitIntermittentFasting would be improved if it could track both the time fasted and the target fasting time entered. FastHabitIntermittentFasting would also benefit by syncing data with the cloud. This would allow the user to look at the data using different devices.

On the day my nutritionist mentioned intermittent fasting, I went looking for an app for that. It needed to be free, it needed to be easy to use, and it needed to look good. I didn’t need bells and whistles, just start/stop fasting info and a few stats.
Two out of three ain’t bad. It’s free - I don’t need more stats than the last few days. It’s easy to use (but hard to remember to start/stop, but that’s MY issue!)
But the looks keep it from being a five star review. The stat page bar graph is good but too big while the averages at bottom need to be larger. Same with front page - the circle is too big at expense of other, more useful info.
It won’t take much to make the free version a 5 star in my mind.

I rely on FastHabitIntermittentFasting. It is the major reason that I have kept to my fasting. You won’t regret purchasing it.

Two bugs bother me: the weight vs. fasting time graph is wildly wrong; but more importantly, if you change time zones you will retroactively lose fasts because the times get recalculated. I had a 23 day streak going that turned into a 12 day streak. Seems to me once you lay down a fast it should be immutable in terms of goals met. Store the contemporaneous time zone with the each fast, instead of remapping local time.

Also please make weight record exportable.

I tried all the popular IF apps, and this is the only one I stuck with. Why? It’s simple, and the Pro Upgrade is a one-and-done payment not a subscription. Very worth the $2.99 upgrade. It’s a tracking clock that is completely editable, a weight tracker, and a few different ways to view your progress, including a graph that superimposes your fasting times on your weight chart, so you can see which fasting schedule works best for your weight loss. The fasting clock lets you view your progress by counting down (time remaining + % complete), counting up (time fasted), or just % complete.

You can set a fasting window, but can edit it on the fly in the main screen, which makes this a truly useful app for those of us who do not stick to rigid fasting windows, plus you can add or edit fasts any time (if you forgot to start or stop the clock).

No social media, no need to be connected to the internet to use, just a simple, well designed fasting app. I’ve been using it for over a year now. Love it!

The free version is adequate. It would be nice to be able to go back and edit previous days, or to see more details about previous days, but I'm content for what I am doing and what I need. FastHabitIntermittentFasting is good enough.

Update: For $2 I upgraded to premium, and it does everything I wished the free version did. Free is very adequate, but I don't regret upgrading. It's a useful app. Now, if I could just remember to log when my fast starts instead of trying to figure out when I quit eating 3 hours later…

I love this fasting app because it really encourages me to hit my intermittent fasting goals. Some days I don’t think I can do it, but I can quickly check my time, and that motivates me to push forward. If I could suggest one thing I’d love for FastHabitIntermittentFasting to do is to be able to change my fasting goal mid-fast. If I’m at 18 hours, but I’d decide to go 20, I’d love a quick, easy way to extend it without having to end fast, and reset. Other than that, this is the best fasting app out there to me!

A fasting app doesn’t need a ton of complicated features. I downloaded a few and the others didn’t work out for me because of their rigidity with times/schedule. Sometimes I eat on accident or sleep late, or I want to fast longer than I intended. Other apps made it hard to adjust for those things “on the fly” while you have a fast going.

FastHabitIntermittentFasting shines for its simplicity and also its versatility! I’m new to fasting (few weeks now) so I can’t always make it to a “set time”, but that’s ok! You can set a goal (16hrs for me) and then click start when you’re done eating. FastHabitIntermittentFasting will remind you when you’re close to reaching your goal, but you can easily go past the goal or stop early if needed. You just click stop. I don’t know why other apps make it harder than that.

Seeing my fasts on a weekly timeline has really helped me see the overall picture of how I’m doing and motivated me to beat my best times.

ALSO THE WATCH APP IS PERFECT!
I can easily check my wrist for time elapsed/time remaining if I’m driving or when I need to quickly set a mealtime with friends. I don’t want to always drag my phone out to do that. Also, being able to START and STOP a fast on the watch is invaluable. If I didn’t have the watch app I would likely forget what time when I went to add it in my phone.

Edits are easy too.

I would pay MORE for additional display options like:
different style timers
analog/digital
Color options
Different graph options

I’ve researched info on many IF apps, and this is by far, the best one out there. I loved it so much I upgraded to Pro after only minutes of getting the free version. Easy to use interface, well-designed graphics, and above all, upgrade doesn’t cost much compared with others that want you to subscribe for an absurd amount of money. Great tracking features come with the upgrade and is well worth it! Thanks for this awesome app!

FastHabitIntermittentFasting is simple and easy to read and use. It’s not congested like the other apps. Everything you would want to know is a type or swipe away. Kudos to you all so people don’t have to fumble through everything to find what you need. It was definitely worth the purchase.
I loved it at first but now my notification of fast ended is not working after I purchased FastHabitIntermittentFasting and no one will respond to resolve the matter

This is perfect app for intermittent fasting. I just wanted to keep track of what time I start and when I want to end. I find it motivating to just check FastHabitIntermittentFasting at times and see how much time I’ve fasted and how much to go. If I think about eating I just check FastHabitIntermittentFasting and keep fasting. I also found the streak tracking motivating. I upgraded and didn’t find it much different but the calendar view helps and the one time small charge was no problem. Now I’m looking for an app to track sleep in the same way.

I started trying out intermittent fasting a few weeks ago and I was writing in a little notebook what time I started and stopped eating. It was a pain. I did buy the upgrade for FastHabitIntermittentFasting and I love it! So easy to log my start and stop fast times and to see how much longer I have to go to complete my fasting window. I also love how you can adjust your fasting start time if you forgot to click FastHabitIntermittentFasting when I have stopped eating for the day. The calendar view is great and I love how FastHabitIntermittentFasting tells you your current fast streak (how many days). I highly recommend FastHabitIntermittentFasting for intermittent fasting 🙂

I tried other fasting apps and this one is the best. I upgraded to pro and loved the additional graphs and other features. One thing I wish they had built in was a way to also track water consumption with reminders and such as being hydrated is very important when fasting. This would’ve made upgrading to the pro version much more appealing.

Also, how about making it fun with badges and achievements when hitting high fasting marks? Or comparing data from other users. Another great addition would be a small area within app explaining/showing fasting health tips/advice/physiology/diet.

Easy to use and customize. Great selection of foods in the menu. I can add my own recipes and decide whether or not to publish them.

The timer is simple, which I like almost as much as the privacy of my information (meaning there is no social media like attempt to connect with others who are fasting.).

The only change I would recommend would be the ability to program longer fasts. However, when I complete a 5 day fast the timer keeps counting. I just lose the countdown to my end date, which could be 7-15 days depending on how I feel. For this I would give 4.5 stars but it isn’t inconvenient enough to knock the rating down to 4.

I love it! I tried a bunch of different IF apps and this has the simplest, most intuitive interface with no glitches so far! I also SO appreciate that there is no paid subscription, just a one time pro purchase. My favorite features are how easy it is to time your fasts based on start and end times AND/OR duration, and how the weight loss graph overlays with fasting hours!

I wish FastHabitIntermittentFasting had only three additional features... the ability to set a weight goal, and the ability to see which fasting zones you’re in, and the ability to add exercise minutes as needed. I’d love to see these features toggle on and off in FastHabitIntermittentFasting settings so I could have the option to keep the interface as simple as I’d like. Love it!! Keep it coming.

I tried many apps to help with fasting, and this is the one that fit the bill. Very easy to start fasting or to adjust it if you forgot to start it right at the moment. Also, the alerts and reminders make it very simple, and it’s great to be able to see a graph chart it against bodyweight. Does exactly what it needs to do, without being over-complicated.

One glitch needs to be addressed, though. After you finish your feeding Session for the day, naturally you’re going to start another fast. When tapping the button to start the fast, an error alert comes up and says that you have already had one fasting session started that day, and starting a new one will erase the one prior. Of course, the earlier one is the one that started yesterday. I was able to go ahead and start it anyway, and it did not erase anything. However, it was unnerving. This should be addressed.

There is an option to contact support from within FastHabitIntermittentFasting , but it goes to some strange email that bounces back an error to my email system. Sadly, this means the only way for me to provide the feedback is through this review. So maybe that’s two glitches that need to be addressed :-).

Nonetheless, it was the best fasting management app that I have found. Worth the money for the pro version.
