Fasting Tracker: FastMinder

Ich habe viele Fasting Apps getestet. Die meisten sind völlig überladen mit Zeug das keiner braucht. Fast starten und stoppen, Stoffewechselphasen und Health Integration. Mehr braucht es nicht. So bleibt die App auch responsiv und muss nicht erst ewig laden. Der Preis ist auch absolut fair und es gibt die Möglichkeit einer Einmalzahlung.

Echt toll gemacht

Ich benutze sein mehreren Jahren andere Apps zum Fasten und die FastMinder App erfüllt am besten meine Anforderungen, vor allem weil man ohne Abo ebenfalls seine jeweiligen Phasen sehen kann. Bin ebenfalls seit über 10 Jahren WaterMinder-Nutzer und freue mich, dass ich verschieden Apps des gleichen Anbieters nutzen kann. Die verschieden Widgets, aber vor allem die Live-Aktivität sowie das Widget für die Apple Watch (Stack) heben diese App von anderen Anbietern ab. Ich gebe nur vier Sterne, weil ich gerne noch die Funktion hätte, mir Alarme für bestimmte Zeiten zu stellen und nicht nur die Erinnerungen kurz vor dem Ende der Essphase, da ich immer zu bestimmten Zeiten anfange aber nicht unbedingt direkt nach meinem Fastenziel aufhöre. Wenn das noch vorhanden wäre, werden es auf jeden Fall fünf Sterne! 🤩

Irgendwie habe ich mit zwei Malzeiten pro Tag schon einige Monate gefastet ohne mich tiefergehend damit zu beschäftigen. Mit der App kann ich nun die Zeiten auf einfache Weise (Watch, iPhone oder Mac-Widgets) erfassen und mich über die verschiedenen Zeiträume / Phasen informieren. Gut gemacht ist das ich jederzeit die Phase sehe, in welcher ich mich befinde - als Komplikation auf der Apple Watch oder Liveaktivität auf dem iPhone.

Simplicity is key. It gets straight to the point: Easily keep track of your fasting windows. It’s well integrated, offering clean Home and Lock Screen widgets and a Watch app. If you are an experienced intermittent faster you'll intuitively find all the tools you need. If you are a novice there are brief explanations that help you getting started.

I tried a lot of fasting apps, and this one just feels so well polished and fun to use. I hope they add tracking for ketones and blood glucose, that’s the only complaint I have. Other than that, it’s great!

5 stars

There are dozens of different fasting trackers on the App Store, and I have tried most of them. This one, by far, is my favorite. First requirement: app has to offer a Watch app. FastMinder has it, many don’t. Second requirement: Watch app has to be clean, easy to use, and provide detail about fasting status and water intake. FastMinder has it, many don’t. Interface: the FastMinder interface is clean and easy to use, and is filled with easy to understand and help statistics. It’s not cluttered with unnecessary features like calorie tracking. Personally, I’m not taking a picture of my food and tracking every single calorie I put in my body. If you want that, this develop has another app for that. Me, I don’t want it and appreciate that it’s not in this app. Water and weight tracking: this app also allows you to track water and your weight loss along your journey. Bottom line, this app is fantastic and extremely helpful.

LIFE app was free and very detailed shouldn’t have to pay for it. This app is good but costs… right now with the economy its hard enough paying bills

Edit: New feature request - please allow us to customize the notifications or just simplify them. The 30 min and final notifications are just way too long. Please just add a simple “fast starts in 30 mins” or “fast is ended.” The current notifications are pretty annoying, take up too much space, have unnecessary emojis, and make me want to turn them off. This is the best fasting app for iOS that balances features with price. It doesn’t have as many features as some of the overpriced subscription-only apps but has more features and is more informative than the very basic cheap fasting apps. The fasting guide and percentage/timer makes it easier to maintain a fast because you can see what fasting phase you’re in - definitely helps motivate you when you’re feeling really hungry but see you’re in a good fat burning phase. I also like how it incorporates weight tracking and sleep. I have 2 minor requests that would make this app perfect in my opinion: 1. Specify days of the week for fasting. I usually aim for 6-7 days a week of fasting but would like the option to skip some Friday or Saturday nights without seeming like I missed my goal when it’s a planned skip in the fasting schedule. 2. Allow us to set a target water goal that we can “hit” and don’t need to add more water. I aim for the 67 oz at least on here but since you can go above it I feel obligated to keep adding water so the amount is accurate. I’d rather just have the option to specify the minimum water target was hit and that’s it.
