This is review of the app and not the program itself. There are a few things that would be helpful, if corrected (not in any particular order):
1. Hydration: There is got to be a way to enter the total for the day instead of choosing multiples of whatever default values are shown. I have a Coleman that holds 20 ounces of water and I drink 5 / day and couldn't figure out a way to accurately put 100!
2. Nutrition: It is split into 4 categories with preset amounts which I ignore. For the longest time I have skipped dinner and only have 20 ounces of coffee and 2 packets of Metamucil Wafer Thins for its fiber content, then eat lunch. Eating dinner and going to bed has never made sense to me, so the default values should be adjustable.
Also, the search for ingredient does not work at all. They should partner with a company like Nutritionix which is OK for getting information. I had to search the web and create my own database for what I eat and use the custom meal feature to capture it. The problem is, it has a favorites tab which you cannot tag anything as favorite and the Recent tab hold only so many meals. That should be a relatively easy fix,
3. I should be able to go back to previous days and add something, if I forgot to log it. Today you can change or delete what you put down but you cannot add anything! Why?
4. Activity: It seems like the activity is based on number of steps. I do not have nor do I need an Apple watch. When I work out, I do not put my large screen iPhone in my pocket (I have started recently) so number of steps are not accurate nor is calories used due to physical activities. Allow people add weights, golf, basketball, etc. to the activities so things are properly represented.
These are simple issues I have run into since I started the program a couple of days ago but clearly the people that create these apps do not use it themselves or set it up the way they would use it which makes no sense!
That is it for now.

Dear Kevin,
We are thankful for your review and promise to forward your suggestions to the responsible teams. We have contacted you privately with a broader explanation of your issues.
1) On the app's home screen, scroll down to the Hydration section, and press the 'Hydration' button. You will then be able to enter ANY amount of water, starting from 0.5 oz.
2) These categories are the recommendations, so it's easier to follow the daily calorie intake. Feel free not to use them if you wish to. Next, the 'Favorites' tab is for the recipes (meals). Go to 'Meals', choose your favorite one, and it will appear in the 'Favorites' tab.
3) It's great feedback, we will make sure to consider adding this function.
4) We are already discussing these features - we want you, our customers, to have the ability to enter other workouts, not only steps, so this will definitely be introduced in the near future.
Thank you once again for your feedback, it helps us grow. We hope we answered some of your questions and improved your experience. Good luck!
Best wishes,
DoFasting team
