DoFasting Intermittent Fasting 4+

Review

I have been using this for 3 months and overall I like the app. I think with a few improvements it would be outstanding. I find logging in meals time consuming and it is frustrating that I can’t pull a meal from a prior entry to todays entry. It would save a lot of time. I create most of my meals and these should be saved under favorites so I can pull them up as needed. The listing of foods with calories are all based on ounces and one portion. Example: an egg is not measured by ounces but rather how many you use. I spoke not use the apps food list as it is not accurate. If I find a listing and it is calculated on one portion it doesn’t allow you to adjust it up or down. Once it’s entered I can go to the overview and adjust it but this is 2 steps.
You should look at the Weight Watcher app as it is very user friendly and keeps all your entries. I realize this is additional work but it would greatly improve the app.

Live Chat is terrible/App has flaws

So I was trying to start my fast and the app would change the time I was starting it. And this happened a couple of time before I notice it was now asking me my eating time. So I had a couple of fasts that I never completed showing as having taken place but there’s no way to delete them anyways. So I didn’t like the app as a result and decided I’ll go back to Zero. Well I went to manage my subscription from the app and it goes over to safari and take me to the login page. When I got it log in, it doesn’t log in but instead says “It seems that you purchased your subscription via mobile device”. Uh…yeah!?! No sh** Sherlock. I did. So what? Doesn’t tell me anything than that I must’ve purchased it though the mobile device. Ok I did now let me log in. No, it won’t. No instructions on what to do. I go back to the app, I go to App Settings and then hit that blue button “Manage Subscription” and I press it and again, takes me to login on the website and again, I get that stupid message. I just want to make sure my subscription ends after the 6 month plan because I’m not satisfied with the app. It’s glitchy. I tied to go to live chat, someone name Florida joins the chat after 15 mins or so of waiting as 2 people are in the queue before me. and then she leaves the chat without a hello. So I have to start a new live chat, I’m really upset now, and another 15 mins with being the only person in the live chat queue. I gave up. The wait is to long.

Not user friendly

There is an app for everything, and I get it, but if I need to log into an app for everything, I want it to be worth my time, effort, and money. This one is NOT worth it. It does have potential though, and if the developer would make just a few improvements, I would have probably used it more. Logging meals is tedious, time consuming, and it’s frustrating that a meal can’t be input on a new day from a prior entry. It’s also annoying that the food list portions only let you choose grams, pounds, servings, and ounces… Case in point, an egg. At least give me the option to choose small, medium or large if all I can do is choose serving or ounce. Tracking your steps is worthless unless you have a Fitbit or track everything through Apple health. My step tracker is electronic, but it’s neither one of those options so I couldn’t even manually input my step count. I don’t have the money to waste on an app that is not user-friendly and just annoys me to use. Unfortunately, I spent the money on the app before I realized all of the things that would not work well. That mistake is on me! Regardless, I canceled my membership and will not be using this app again. Hopefully, the developer will read this and make some needed improvements for their current and future customers.
