LIFE Fasting Timer & Tracker ١٧+

Hello! I have used your app since 2019 and it’s been my favorite tracker since, I’ve heard that the app is closing down (?) and just wanted to desperately ask for a reconsideration from my personal experience. I have suffered with a binge eating disorder / bulimia for years and my doctor had recommended intermittent fasting for me, I have been overweight my whole life but it has gotten serious once it started affecting my health. I struggled many times in the beginning but about 5 years in I am so much better than I ever imagined I’d be, I have healthily lost the weight, started going to the gym and am no long am at risk of diabetes. I know it sounds silly but this app truly does mean a lot to me and has tremendously helped me in so many ways, I never thought I’d get to this point in my life.

And even if this silly note doesn’t cause you reconsider your decision, I just want to thank you for helping me and so many other people over the past years who have used your app.

Thank you.

I just started fasting a few weeks ago and wanted an app to track my fasting time. I decided I’d rather use an app that mainly allows me to watch my fasting time GROW than to watch my eating window SHRINK, so I chose this Life app. Overall I like it for all the reasons others have noted. I especially love that it shows when you’re body is supposedly in Ketosis. A few things that I think could make it truly awesome:
First and foremost: Make this app compatible with the Apple Watch! Honestly, this alone may cause me to switch to another fasting app. Sad face.
Allow users to enter their weight data with a decimal point. Currently you can only enter whole numbers. Everyone knows that those decimal points count A LOT for people looking for trends mapping results. Seems like it would be such a simple programming fix and would allow much more accuracy for users.
Show the user’s actual eating window for each fasting day. In other words, after the user has tracked his/her fast, calculate for them the resulting eating window (times) and number of eating hours. Again, seems like a pretty easy “fix” that would make the app more robust and improve user experience.

I used to be overweight and I struggled with a BED for years, my doctor told me to start limiting my eating hours and intermittent fasting. I was hesitant at first, but I started slowly by downloading LIFE, and it helped me get out of my depession-rut. This app has helped me greatly, made me more confident in myself, and helped me lose 60lbs. But, 60lbs is just a number, let me say my actual experiences. I’ve been able to run more than a mile for the first time in years, I’ve been able to go swimming without keeping my shirt on, I’ve been able to mend my relationship with eating and food in general, but most important of all, it saved my life. If I had kept going down that depression/binge eating route, I probably wouldn’t be here, but LIFE saved me.

Please, if my small review and story has any affect on this decision, don’t take down the app.
