Fasting Tracker App - Fasta

I’ve been using this app for years and have recommended it to others who are new to fasting. Recently, I had to restore my phone. I have my data for this saved in my cloud but I am not able to restore my purchase, or restore the backed up data. I have contacted support several times with no response. I love this app. It’s my go-to for tracking my fasting. The decreased rating is because I when I reset my phone I was being prompted to purchase the lifetime access again but still no option to restore my previous purchase. So now it’s making me pay for it again. I don’t appreciate being told it’s a lifetime purchase and then having to buy it whenever I have to put it back on my phone. I am using the same Apple ID, so it’s not that. And I have it working on another device with no issues. It’s just this one. I actually repurchased it once already. Not going to do it again. Now my devices aren’t speaking to each other through the app, and I am forced to use it with an older device I am not interested in using with it. Sad. I gave them a bunch of chances to resolve this. Great app, but the follow through leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been intermittent fasting for going on two years. I don’t like the apps that are bloated with a lot of unnecessary features and this one is almost perfect. My one requirement is that it works with my Apple Watch, which it shows that it does here in the App Store and the app is on my watch, but I can’t seem to make a complication on my watch face for it 🤔 One other tiny feature I wish they would add, but isn’t a deal breaker is a notes function. I occasionally like to leave a note about how my day went and some apps have that, but this one doesn’t. Aside from those two things, this app is super simple, in a great way and *almost* perfect.

I downloaded several fasting apps before I landed on this one. It’s simple to use, easy to navigate and I really appreciate the learning tab that helps you understand what’s really going on while you’re fasting. One suggestion I would make to the developers is. Keep the timer going after the fasting. A notification at the end of the fast that lets you know that you are in your feeding window and then another notification when it’s time to start the fast again. Then just have a button that you can press if you want to pause or end the cycle.
