This app has helped me lose 20 pounds (so far) in 3 months. The meal scanner uses AI to guess how many calories in my food so I don't have to weigh anything or count calories myself, and the process of intermittent fasting has worked better than any diet I've tried. The only downside is it really needs to be Internet connected to work.
A great app that doesn't require any thought. All you have to do is put the buttons in and scan your food. If your food has multiple ingredients, you can just use the voice input and put in American measurements and the app automatically converts it. i love the reminders to drink water and when it's time to start and stop your fast.Now i need to start the excersize portion.
Several things in the app do not work or work incorrectly. I found a support email address and sent a detailed email itemizing all the problems that I have been experiencing. Even though I paid for the subscription, I did not get any response to my email. The issues just continue to happen. I am sorry that I wasted my money on this app.
so far it's been working fine for tracking fasting, and the AI meal scanner seems pretty decent, but if you try to scan a barcode and add a food that way, it doesn't work. the only one that's worked so far has been by taking a picture of my finished plate and letting the AI go from there. would be really nice to see the other scanner get fixed so i can get a bit more accurate nutritional info for my food.
Great app! It's better than the other fasting apps I have used. It gives you complete control over your fasting window and planned meals. It also allows you to keep track of the water you drink, exercise you do, steps you take, and your mindfulness. I love that I can just take a picture of my food, and the AI will tell me approximately how many calories are in my food. The AI doesn't always get it right, but the app allows you to make changes to ensure accuracy.
Really great app for tracking my fasts. Simple to use, and it helps me stay motivated! Quick update: Still using Fastic over 3 years later. Have lost about 50 lbs and have managed to keep it off. Started with 16 hour fasts until I noticed I was doing 20 easily. I now keep it on 20 hours, but regularly go beyond 24 without noticing. On the flipside, you are going to have days where you binge (mine seems to have settled at around once every 2 weeks). Don't stress. Just get back to fasting. 😄
Not very accurate. The barcode scans the food box and gives inaccurate numbers that do not match the information on the box. Very little choice of food is added into their system unless you manually add it. The AI scanner is very inaccurate and uses food input in their system that has inaccurate information as well. Update several months in. Ita gives medium healthy scores to almost all food except for a small handful ( even to a mix fruit plate with nothing else on it). the barcode scan sucks.
After a few months use, I really like Fastic for tracking intermittent fasting schedule (in Android on Pixel 7). Information is reliable and well-sourced. Food logging is important to me, and that works well in Fastic, though bar code scanning seems to error out too often. The "scan your dish" (via a picture) works WAY better than I expected it to (though it often needs some manual adjustment too, not surprisingly.) The recipe list is useful also, with some really good ones for specific diets.
This app is good for beginners; but it leaves a lot to be desired. It allows you to control portions only in grams or fluid ounces; I am no conversion genius. I am not doing that every time. In my opinion, the ease of logging food and portioning it out is crucial. It doesn't take fiber into account, so net carbs are a mystery, which sucks if the user is on a keto diet. I can do a whole youtube video on it, but those are probably my biggest peeves about this app. Definitely canceling premium.
I've been using this app for calorie tracking, and it does a good job overall. picture scanning for calories is never as accurate, so dont track that way. Adding new foods by scanning the barcode works well and scans correctly, but when I add the meal, it re calculates, and the calories and macros are always incorrect, so I have to manually update it. I do still use it, but these are just a few annoying things, especially when you are on the go.
