Fasting Tracker: FastMinder

I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but when an app AND its developer impresses me, I have to share it with people. Before I found this app I was using Zero for the last 6 years. The Z app just kept adding stuff and getting busier and busier (and more expensive) and it was just too much to sift through when all I wanted to do was keep track of fasting and my health stats. Then I found Fastminder. It’s simple, yet detailed, and has a very nice interface to see and add my health information. The developer even helped me get my 450+ previous fasts uploaded to Fastminder! I went ahead and got the Lifetime subscription, which is cheaper (by a lot) than just a 1 year’s subscription to the Z app I mentioned. No regrets whatsoever! My favorite part is the live activities to keep me aware of my fast throughout the day. I’m looking forward to future app feature updates. I highly recommend this app and supporting the developers!!

I’ve loved incorporating fasting into my everyday life for a number of years now. And have used the Life app from the beginning. Since the Life app has shut down I've been searching for as good or better replacement for both shorter & longer fasts. Life app was free & I loved the features for a free app. None of the free fasting apps I’ve tried have come even close to Life. But FastMinder comes the closest and even offers more although for a fee. But I would rather pay a reasonable charge for something as good or better than have something inferior for free. I’ve been using it for 3 days now. Like Life, FastMinder does delve into what’s happening with each step of your fast and actually broken down even more with FastMinder. This is good. Also, I can easily start and end a fast whenever I like. Also good. One feature I do really miss from the Life app is a + / - toggle beside the active fast to easily add or subtract as many hours as you want to your current fast. Also, strange thing for every fast so far, if I start at say 7:15 pm in evening and go to 1:15 pm next day…. FastMinder records as 17 hours 59 minutes instead of the true 18 hours completed. Should be easy enough to fix. So long review…. but overall a good app so far and comparable replacement for Life. Worth the cost!

Overall a good app to track fasting and stats. Which the customize option allowed for tracking “eating window” or daily flexibility. But overall not bad.

Are you fat and want a sure victory in the looks department? Try a 72 hour fast. Never fasted before? Try a 6 hour window and fast for 18 hours while you sleep. Fasting every day as a daily routine spikes ketones in the blood stream which melts fat away. Fasting also cause autophagy of the body, which detoxifies the cells and renews your entire body. The bible may renew the mind by reading it but fasting renews the body, by not eating. Make sure you take vitamins and minerals while fasting and drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated. You'll feel like a true winner once it's all over.

I love this fasting app. It does everything right. Simple, clean, widgets, live activities, and more. The developers are also very responsive. I really recommend this app.

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.

I’m unable to set a time later in the day to start a fast. Whenever I try, it resets back to the current time.

The timer is great. Widgets and watch apps. The education of what happens at each stage is awesome. This has everything I want and need to manage and track my fasting.
