Let's be real. The program works and works well but it's not some kind of miracle or magic pill, you will have to follow your fasting times. The best advice I've got was to follow your gut. When you feel your body needs food then have it but keep in mind that often you are not actually hungry, it's your emotions.
I like that the app tracks my steps and I can track my water intake, but as far as inputting calories, it just isn't user friendly. I also don't like that I can't look back on my progress in an organized way (or at least I've not figured out how to do that). I do really enjoy the articles to read.

It works but doesn't link to my smartwatch. So you should be able to manually key in steps etc. Also the directory of foods is not very complete and many times asks for grams only. Other measurement options like cups, etc would be helpful.
Dear Joyce,
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, entering steps manually is impossible right now. Also, the foods are currently available in Metric and Imperial systems (grams/oz). We are constantly working on updates and will definitely consider implementing these features in the future. Good luck!
Yours,
DoFasting team
Found this app when I was trying to find information on GoLo. The only thing I don't like is that you can't track food accurately enough. If you had a bar code scanner for foods that would be so much better ans accurate than picking from a generic list.
Hello Nicole,
We highly appreciate your review and suggestions regarding the calorie log improvements. The great news is that our team is currently developing a more advanced calorie tracker, which will be introduced very soon to you!
Sincerely,
DoFasting Team
This app holds me responsible, keeping with the plan. I have lost 11.8lbs. I found that 2 meals a day works. There must be sweat exercise, otherwise the lb-loss will take longer, and you'll lose muscle mass.
Hello,
Thank you very much for your kind words!
All the best,
DoFasting team
I have tried just about everything out there and for the first time in many many years, dofasting is helping me accomplish what no other apps, programs could. The app is easy to use, although must say, a better food list would be very welcome. Overall - a great experience
The app doesn't keep past foods on record to easily input again. The end of the week report has my water intake wrong. Google play does not refund money for this app so I'm highly unhappy that I'm out money for an app that really doesn't do anything but hold me accountable for my fasting times.
My successful weight loss, 50 lbs. in 6 months can be directly tied to the DoFasting program. MY ability to stay the course, maintain calorie intake, eat within the allotted time, AND get at least the daily recommended exercise, also were key. The website had it's challenges, often not tracking properly after app updates. Whether not accepting fluid numbers, not allowing weight adjustments, etc. I managed. It is/was important for me to get my 4 green check marks each day. MY REWARD for following the plan.

Pretty easy to use, missing better functionality of calorie tracker. Generally my review for do-fasting app is positive and I don't have much to complain, except of tracking calories. There should be ability to scan barcodes.
Hi Mashell,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We've passed your insights about the improvement of the calorie tracker to our product team. Your opinion helps us improve and upscale your experience!

The program click-baits one into believing that fasting alone will enable you to achieve your weight loss goals. Then a day or two in, you get an emailed article explaining that fasting is just one part of the "healthy life style" you need to adopt, which includes drinking a ton of water, adhering to a target calorie intake, and doing thousands of steps each day. The whole fasting thing is just a way to keep you from eating for 14 hours at a time each day to get your body into keto burning mode for that last few hours. Can you lose weight using the method? Sure - just like any other diet-and-exercise method out there - IF you take in fewer calories than you burn. Left me hungry and tired from low blood-sugar levels all the time.
Hello William,

The app is great! The recipes they have that you can pick from are amazing. And as you lose the weight, you don't feel as hungry anymore.A couple of more months I should reach my goal. There are a few things about the app that I don't like but all in all it's doing what it supposed to.
Dear Barb,
We are thrilled to hear about your experience with DoFasting! As we are trying to make the app as convenient as possible for every user, we would love to hear any suggestions on how to improve it.

The app started out working fine then all of a sudden it stopped working. Won't let me start fast. Just frozen. I closed it and re-opened it with no luck. Not to mention I can't find a support number to call.
Hi Sarah,

The app itself is good, no complaints here. But the company has a "policy" on auto-renews to only refund 50% of the $66 semi-annual fee if you forget to cancel. "Who's going to forget", you ask? I'd wager plenty of people, including yours truly. Life is just to busy to remember everything. What's more? EVERY company that I have an auto renew with has sent me a reminder as an overture of good faith. Not DoFasting. So good luck to you if you forget to cancel the auto-renew.
I find this extremely unfair and borderline unethical. All other companies where I've cancelled after the auto-renew, have given me no pushback- none, nada, zilch... except for this one. $33 down the drain.
Caveat Emptor

App not very useful for anything except as a timer for fasting or eating window. The calorie counter is very limited compared to My Fitness Pal free functionality. Any of the info about intermittent fasting available in the app can be found for free with a Google search. The app is buggy in that it often requests that you update the app but it doesn't update when you click the button. If you miss resetting the timer for ending or starting a fast it will sometimes not allow you to edit and continue without completely choosing a different fasting plan.
Hello, Thomas,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your reflection; the DoFasting Team appreciates your feedback.
The situation you have described does not align with our intentions; therefore, we would like to investigate your exact case and lend our helping hand!
Would you be able to fill out a short survey that gives us more details about the situation at myreview.typeform.com/reviews?
Alternatively, we are kindly waiting for your email at quality@dofasting.com. Let's keep in touch in order to upscale your experience with the DoFasting app.

I do not eat the recipes that are provided. I go by calories, things I can afford to buy and stuff that is good for me. I used to not eat all day before the pandemic and lost over fifty pounds. The pandemic struck, starting baking, started sitting around, no swimming pool every other day and the fifty came back. I had major health problems with A-fib, blood clots in both lungs, severe fatigue and depression. Now, I have to go back to what I used to do, even though the pandemic is still going. I have not been in the pool for over 6 months now. That has to change. If I fast again like I did the first time and eat sensibly, I should be able to get the pounds off. Water, water, water!
This more of a question not a review. I am considering DoFasting but after reading reviews I would like to know if the issues with meal and calorie input have been resolved to make it more user friendly and do you now send out notifications prior to auto renewal? Companies that do not send notifications prey on the thousands of people that forget to cancel which generates tons of free cash flow for the company. This really an ethical issue, which you tend to see with shady companies. Hope all has been corrected as there are other top rated app that have resolved or do not have these issues.
Dear Spencer,
Thank you for being curious.
1) Major calorie tracker update was released three weeks ago. We redesigned the home screen, added a quick add-in tab bar for calories, water, and weight, and introduced a new calorie tracker with more food to log.
2) The newest update was released this week. We upgraded the water tracker, which is way more interactive now, and fixed bugs.
3) You can turn off the auto-renewal after you purchase the app. Our team is always willing to help you with renewal or any other questions. Find more information here: https://help.dofasting.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011606197-Subscription-management-and-refunds-via-App-Store.
We hope to see you as a customer and we give you a 10% discount code! Use this code during the purchase process and enjoy intermittent fasting: WELCOME10.
Best wishes,

Ancient societies used to practise intermittent fasting for religious and health reasons. It seems that we have finally came back to our roots. The practise works perfectly for my mind and body, I wish many people would have tried fasting and avoid prescribed medicine...
Hi Elena,
That is so true! Intermittent fasting not only helps you reach your physical goals but also improves your mental health! Enjoiy your fasting journey!

Great tool for keeping me on track and providing guidance when it comes to my food choices. App has built in reminders which is also great. The only issue I'm having is that I have to lose the app out because it freezes on my a lot.
Overall, using the DoFasting app has been a pleasant experience and I am pleased with my personal results this far. I have recommended the app to several people in the past few months… At the beginning, I entered the food I was eating, but it became less appealing, because I found it to be too laborious. I also think there could be improvement on recognizing that you have the ability to modify what time you start, and end your fasting in case you are unable to enter it when gently reminded. I thought that feature was hard to find…
Dear Laura,
We are pleased that you are enjoying the app. We are working on and planning new updates on the food logging section. Furthermore, talking about the ability to modify your fasting start and end times, you can do that on the main screen, under the 'fasting circle'. If you have anything more to add, feel free to drop us a message at hello@dofasting.com. Thank you, and best of luck with your goals!
Kind regards,
DoFasting team
I like the app and the information given. My only frustration was when I initially ordered I wanted to take advantage of the 36 month deal. It would not go through. I have spoken by chat with a couple of reps. They tell me to look at my account offers. The 36 month deal is not available and apparently the computer cannot be overridden. I wanted to commit to three years but I am not allowed?
Hello Timothy,
Thank you very much for sharing this inconvenient situation! We have presented this problem to our team, and we will immediately begin looking for solutions. Meanwhile, your subscription will renew itself, and you will be able to continue using the app with no interference.
Sincerely,
