BodyFast helps users with intermittent fasting, with many reporting weight loss and increased energy R1R5R22R25. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious issues with unauthorized charges, inability to cancel subscriptions, and a lack of substantial features in the paid version compared to free alternatives R2R3R6.

Free vs paid

The free version of BodyFast provides basic fasting tracking and guidance R4R62R73. Users report it helps them keep track of fasting times and offers notifications about body stages during fasting R73R88. The premium or 'Coach' version is supposed to offer diet plans, coaching, recipes, and more fasting plans R5R43R185. However, many users find the 'coaching' to be generic blog posts rather than personalized advice R37R27R311R443, and some features like food logging and calorie counting are missing even in paid versions R217R358R451. Some users also report that most fasting plans are behind a paywall R185R65.

  • Many essential features, including most fasting plans, are paywalled, making the free version feel limited.R32R39R65R185
  • Users feel the app is overpriced for what it offers, especially when compared to free alternatives or other fasting trackers.R7R21R27R46
  • Some users report a drop in quality over time, with more ads and paywalls appearing where features were once free.R185R67

Where it delivers

  • Many users report significant weight loss and improved well-being through intermittent fasting with the app's help.R1R5R22R25
  • The app is praised for being easy to use, simple, and providing helpful reminders and tracking for fasting periods.R4R5R38R43
  • The app's timer and notifications are considered very helpful for staying on track.R62R73R88R533
Worth paying if

It might be worth paying if you are highly motivated by the act of paying itself to stick to a plan R25, and if you find the basic tracking and reminders sufficiently motivating for your weight loss journey R43.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying for BodyFast if you are looking for personalized coaching, detailed food tracking, or unique features not available in free apps R27R37R217R311. Definitely skip if you are concerned about unauthorized charges or difficulty canceling subscriptions, as these are major and recurring complaints R2R3R6R11.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating of 4.7 is significantly higher than recent reviews suggest, which are heavily skewed negative due to billing and cancellation issues. Many positive reviews are older or focus solely on the effectiveness of intermittent fasting itself rather than the app's unique value.

  1. [R2] 2/5 · US Useless and tricky . Good as an idea but not for me 🤷🏼‍♀️: You can’t delete this app or your account. When you try it it says something about internet connection . Let’s see if they stop charging too.
  2. [R3] 1/5 · US Fraudulent: Unauthorized charges no response to emails sent. These reviews in Trust pilot are 2.3 Goes without saying that you are consistently overcharging with no response to any of your clients emails. I paid 7.99 and now you have charged me 33.98. Also spelling mistakes on your app
  3. [R6] 1/5 · US Charges without Approval: 6-2026 Update: Still dealing with charges from this company!! I had to go thru my bank to get credited from charges since April 2025!! All they give you is same email response repeatedly to cancel. I have no acct number, no company phone number, email doesn’t work; they have it set up to be impossible to cancel. Original review: For months my Their charges keep happening.
  4. [R11] 1/5 · US Creepy scammy absolutely not: I paid for a 7 day trial and found the app useless. Here I am on day 6 of 7 and they attempted to charge me $32 to continue the trial without any prior notification. My bank luckily declined the transaction and paused my card because it was super suspicious. Absolute scam and thieves. Cancelled the subscription and you’re still trying to steal my money! I will be push
  5. [R27] 1/5 · US Nothing I can’t do myself: Paid for this app and it’s nothing I can’t do on my own. It’s a clock, which I have, an alarm, recipes mostly for vegans, and “coaching” notes with nothing special or personal to my situation. I’ll keep fasting but I’ll use my watch and Google instead of this app.
  6. [R37] 3/5 · US Where’s the coaching?: I don’t like that I had to choose to upgrade before I even tested the free version. I wanted to get serious about weight loss so I opted to go for it, as it said there was coaching. Ok, but where? The only “coaching” I see is a bunch of blog posts. Nice app with lots of info but not worth paying for IMO. Also, I wish the eating window showed as a different color when you’re
  7. [R311] 3/5 · GB Mediocre: App is okay but the functionality of editing your fasting windows each day is awful. The coach facility is totally impersonal and seems to consist mostly of strangely little flash surveys. for example one was asking whether we have a morning routine but then offered no context to why you might ask that question. The articles are super short and carry news really, nor are they particularl
  8. [R443] 3/5 · CA Review: Keeps me on track. I wish the coaching sessions had a little more information but they are decent. I wish the recipes would change and more would at least be added as you move through the weeks, as the same recipe has been the recipe of the week for over a month now and no new recipes have been added. I like that you can modify your time and choose from many plans.
  9. [R32] 1/5 · US Requires payment: No thanks. I just wanted to keep track of my time fasting. Guess I’ll just keep using pen and paper.
  10. [R39] 1/5 · US Lie: It’s free to download then you need a subscription. Completely wrong off app producer
  11. [R65] 1/5 · US No good plan unless you pay for a subscription.: You have to have a subscription for the one plan I’ve used WITHOUT the app. Why do I need to pay for a Coach subscription just so I can do a OMAD diet like I’ve done before??
  12. [R185] 3/5 · US Huuuge Drop in Quality: I feel like the developers of this app have really sold out. When I first used the app in 2020 I had no ads, access to all the fasting plans, and generally liked the interface of the app. It was simple but informative because all I wanted was to track my fasting periods and learn more about IF. Now there's an ad every time I open the app and a prompt that asks me to subscri
  13. [R7] 3/5 · US Better Fasting Trackers: I have tried a few and Zero is the best one I have used. While this app has some cool features the fasting element takes too much to navigate. Zero has simple features like widgets with a visually engaging countdown.
  14. [R21] 1/5 · US Price: The price is obscene
  15. [R46] 1/5 · US Not worth subscription cost: Not much different from the free fasting apps or diet trackers out there. Not worth the subscription cost.
  16. [R67] 1/5 · US Crazy Ads: Impossible to use. The ads are covering up the screen and don’t let you get past them to use the app at all. It’s just sad.
  17. [R1] 5/5 · US So good: I feel better when I fast
  18. [R5] 5/5 · US Great app: I love this app so much, they have a coach, a diet plan,just a wonderful app over all.
  19. [R22] 5/5 · US Mi primera semana: Siento que este plan me está ayudando de forma rápida a perder peso y no he sentido ningún malestar hasta el momento, en mis tiempos de comida comí mucha proteína y me ayuda a mantenerme bien durante mi ayuno .
  20. [R25] 5/5 · US helps: i wish i didn't have to pay for something i could've searched up (fasting times) but since i payed, it motivated me to stick to it so i didn't waste my money. To my surprise, it really helped and I lost weight fast. I also didn't even workout lol. But if i did, i know i would lose way more.
  21. [R4] 5/5 · US Great App: Free or premium versions of this App are wonderful guide’s for IF. They are very helpful and informative.
  22. [R38] 5/5 · US Understanding easy use: This app is great super easy to navigate and has all the information I was looking for
  23. [R43] 5/5 · US Top Notch App!: I'm down 15.5lbs in 3 weeks. It's crazy efficient and the app helps with positive reminders, recipes and hints and also coaching advice. Plus the FB page is a group of like minded individuals. It’s a lifestyle change with obtainable goals and you don’t beat yourself up if you have setbacks. Great Job Body Fast! Love, Love Love it!!!
  24. [R62] 5/5 · US Just starting: I’m on my actual first day. I have the free part so I know I am missing a lot of great information. I love the timer such a big help, and no one yelling at me. Enjoying it so far
  25. [R73] 5/5 · US Simple and straightforward: I appreciate that this free app is basic and yet offers the notification of what stage your body is going through during the fasting hours
  26. [R88] 5/5 · US Great app: Give you the options to set your fast timer every day! Also give you great tips and advice while fastening. I love how they show what the body does every couple hours during your fasting period. Definitely would recommend if you need that extra push.
  27. [R533] 3/5 · CA Faulty app: The time schedules in the app do not work. Its a Saturday and the app thinks its Friday. Ive restarted the app as well switched the automatic time change. Nothing works. Despite the time issue, the app does provide you with notifications and a clear fasting schedule
  28. [R217] 3/5 · GB Okay but….: This offered a good visual reminder of fasting timings and count down . But it lacks some necessary features like the ability to log food, water / drinks etc and get a calorie count. Or is it that the free version doesn’t allow this? But can’t see a menu option to log - only scan a plate?
  29. [R358] 3/5 · CA J’ai vu mieux: Les points négatifs, selon Moi : On ne peut pas rentrer nos aliments à la main, les articles de lecture sont payants mais les mêmes sont disponibles sur une autre page de l’application… et elle est deux fois plus chère que d’autres!
  30. [R451] 3/5 · CA Great Idea: I’m not sure of why you don’t have a food tracker attached to this program. I personally believe it could be better for the people who like to track the food they eat. I help to be accountable. So no that note I give this a 3 star rating. Would love to see it improve.
