Empty Fasting

Love this simple app, BUT it should let me fast at least 24 hours (more if I want). Been using it for a year and have slimmed down but I occasionally want to prolong a fast and cannot with this app. Please update/modify to allow 36, 48 and 72 hour fast.

Simple, single-function app with zero bloat or a dozen other features that I don't need. UI is snappy and well thought out. One major omission, and the reason for my lack of 5 stars, is the inability to edit the start time of a running timer. Whether I'm out socializing, eating my last bite on the go, or simply don't know if this bite is my LAST bite of the day, we need the ability to start a timer whenever we want and then edit the start time. That way, the timer remains true to whenever that last bite happened. I stopped using the app months ago because of this, came back today hoping the developer improved things, but no luck.

I really wanted to like this app, it’s so beautiful! Unfortunately it looks better than it works for me personally. This app is like a racer that prematurely celebrates before crossing the finish line: it does such a wonderful job at paring it down to just the essential, but the essential function is where it fails. My two main annoyances are: 1. Fasts can’t be started at any time, unless you remember to start it immediately after you finish eating. When you start a fast you’re only given the option to choose “just now” or times in 5-10 min increments. So if I stopped eating at 6:22 but didn’t start it right then and there, my only options would be something like 6:15, 6:30 (I forget the exact increments, but you get the idea). 2. Hold to start/stop a fast interaction. Unlike every other app I’ve used, where starting/stopping a fast is just a quick tap, in Empty you have to hold the button for a few seconds to start and stop. I don’t understand this design decision. It’s not like this app has other competing buttons or a complicated UI where you might accidentally hit start/stop without meaning to, therefore holding makes more sense so it’s 100% intentional. This app is the exact opposite: it’s so minimal there’s basically nothing else to do but start/stop a fast, therefore holding seems unnecessary and a waste of time. I love that this app has nothing else like articles, tips, recipes, etc. which bloat so many other apps. But function wise I hate this app. I want to come in and quickly tap to start/stop with a precise time. Again, like tripping at the finish line bc they were celebrating and patting themselves on the back. So disappointing!

This app UI is beautiful. The only thing I’d like, to fully switch over from Zero, is the ability to set multiple “start fast” reminders. I want a reminder 15m, 30m, 45m, and 1hour before my fast to pester and remind me to eat my last meal while I still can ;) Otherwise, awesome app, nice work!

Enjoy the app and use it as a reminder for intermittent fasting, would love to see an option to set the app to allow you to fast from from specific things for a set period of time (alcohol, meat, etc.)

Love this simple app! Deleted all other fasting apps, even though I'd paid for them! Everything I need and nothing more. Not too-busy with too much info like others, but just right amount of info and notification and cute encouraging notes; plus no ugly circle like others, just a digital countdown. Wonderful to use and esp love having my current fast countdown on my homescreen for an at-a-glance view. Great price too!

This app is insanely good for price. Great job to the developers.

How come fasting apps never seem have a simple feature where fasts start and stop AUTOMATICALLY with the option to go back and edit them later if need be? I thought this app would, but it doesn’t. The UI is too confusing for manually adding a fast that wraps over midnight. In fact, I can’t figure out how to do so. Also, if I miss starting a fast the night before, it seems to be impossible to start the countdown from last night. You only have the option to start a fast right now. Not a good UX overall.

This app has no unnecessary features and I love it. Perfectly focused and to the point

Love it. Can’t wait for Apple Watch addition. Thanks for not being greedy!
