Slow Eats for Weight Loss

I have two recommendations if it can possibly happen in the future: - freedom regarding the timing not limited to 3mins. Let the individual choose how long he wants it to take - freedom regarding the number of times we would like it to happen and not limit it a 3 times as we may want it for longer. In brief just give us more freedom using the app that would be great. Thank you for the amount of work and thought put in the app I really enjoy using it a lot.

So far I love this app. I initially lost 60 pounds doing intuitive eating but slacked. So, this app helps me get back on track and slow down when I eat. I just wish I could use both meal timer and bite timer at the same time. Overall great app.

I’ve been trying to slow down my eating and this Slow Eats app helps me slow down between bites and enjoy my food. I tend to eat fast when I’m stressed and I am able to train myself to slow down without staring at a timer or clock. The timer can be customized for how long to wait between bites. It even has a timer to use if I want to wait before getting a second helping. It works on my iPhone and my Apple Watch and it has sound or vibration setting so I can use it without anyone knowing. I am eating less food, enjoying it more and I’m having less stomach aches and losing weight!

I knew I was a fast eater, but this app has helped me realize how crazy fast I was eating and has helped me slow down. You can set the amount of time between bites, add breaks into your meal, and set a timer for how long to wait after your meal before deciding to get a second helping. It also tracks your total meal time. It’s really cool! So glad I found it. I plan to use it frequently.

This app is worth it. The only thing I can tell you is to use it as much as possible. The more you use it the healthier you get.

This app is just what I need to help me slow down eating. The developer responded very quickly when I asked for a change to one of the features (increase the bite time to allow 3 minutes between bites) and they added it in one day. Definitely worth the small cost.

I enjoyed dinner tonight utilizing the bite timer. It was amazing how quickly I got full and how easy it was to stop when I was comfortable. I did not push my pouch to its limit and then feel sick for an hour or so as I have in the past. This was a daily occurrence because I was eating so fast that I would eat to much before I realized I was full. Just bringing my awareness to how I was eating has me starting out from a great place as I try to lose my regain. Thank you again for the amazing app. As an aside, I want to thank Shannon for her amazingly fast response to my questions and for taking the time to fully explain and ensure I understood the in’s and out’s of this app. Thank you for listening, responding, and explaining the different ways to utilize the app. I look forward to more apps from this developer.

I’ve never used an app where the developer literally responds to every question I asked and adds every feature I sought. This is a great app! The added pause feature is very helpful. Still use this app almost everyday. I love apps that do one thing really well and don’t grab my private info. This is one of those. Developer is super responsive. The haptic change works great! Wow! I revised my rating from 1 to 4 because I was frustrated that I lost the Watch app entirely when they upgraded. They responded super quick and, boom, it was back up and running! The only change I would seek in this app is a stronger haptic signal. I assume that is a limitation of the Apple Watch but unfortunately, it limits the usefulness of what would otherwise be the perfect app for it to function as a meal timer. It’s just too subtle sometimes to alert me that my time is up. Otherwise, it helps me pay attention to my eating time, does it straight from my watch, and doesn’t need, have, or share my data. Trifecta.

The developer is very responsive to email inquiries. I love the reminder to not load up my fork while eating the prior bite. It’s very easy to use and free is a great price.

I've never written an app review before, but I need to write one for this app. I got an Apple Watch and was determined to use it to lose weight. Between closing my rings and using this app, I have lost over 25 lbs. Even more important than any one accomplishment: it helped heal my unhealthy relationship with food.
