Fast Like a Girl

I’m giving it 3 stars because it has a lot of potential, it’s informative, it has good formatting, and I like the color scheme. It is messed up though. Within a few days it was wrong about my phase even though it asked me when I started my last period and it was correct at first about me being in my ovulation phase right now- then it said, the next day, that I was in my bleeding / nurturing phase which is not only not true but not even possible. I will finish my ovulation phase in about 3 days and then enter my luteal phase. I do like the app though because it gives good information about different points of your cycle and what foods, fasting, exercise, and more are most beneficial during that time. That part helps me because there is so much information that I read and took notes on when I read the book. The app is messed up but the information it gives per phase is very educational. I will just take notes and keep tracking my cycle on my health app and on my calendar. Hopefully it gets fixed soon !

The App has some good information but consistently gets the cycle phases wrong. You are supposed to be able to enter the date of your last period and it will show you what phase of your cycle you are in and there provide recommendations on fasting, eating, exercise, and more. Unfortunately, it seems to be stuck on the “Nurture” phase (days 21-28 of your cycle). I tried changing around the dates to no avail. There seems to be an option to not follow your moon cycle, however, when I deselect the moon cycle it stays stuck on the “Power” phase (days 1-10). It would be great if we could follow along with our cycle, which seems to be the idea. Also, it would bale sense to let us scroll through the phases of our cycle so we can plan ahead. If they could fix this problem, the app would be amazing but sadly it isn’t working. Finally, I would recommend adding features for us to track our fasts and food that we eat so we can monitor our protein and carb intake. However, if they could just fix the moon cycle feature, that would be a good start.

Agree with other reviewer. Downloaded last night, in putted period start. Correctly had me in Manifestation. I should be in the 4 day Power Phase today. But it’s showing Nurture phase. Like the concept but the apps utility seems extremely limited. —wish there was an easy, clear calendar to track and log fasting hours or to select desired fast length and input time of last calorie intake and have it start a timer for you. Then you could see your fasting history over time. —combine period tracking with fasting tracking. Cycle lengths. Visibility into how your cycle might adjust in parallel to fasting regimen. —envision the best period tracker combined with best fasting tracker. —design is pretty, but static and clunky Pro—finally someone who gets appetite related to hormone cycles. No period tracker gets that! They make it all about tracking cravings (the whole pms cliché of just wanting sweets and carbs and sitting on the couch—drives me crazy). Whats real for me (and many other ladies I’ve talked to) is a surge in *hunger* at ovulation and at the week before my period starts. I call it the bottomless pit syndrome. I have no desire for the “bag of potato chips” — I still eat my typical foods, but I am hungry almost immediately after eating and can’t get satiated. No one talks about this except for on random Reddit threads. Excited to see this app recognizes that phenomenon but the execution isn’t there yet.
