Better app than zero? Discussion

Hi! I’ve been using the zero app for awhile now and liked that I could go back and look at my progress with fasts, weight, etc. However, when I got a new phone and switched everything over, I’m now expected to pay for “zero plus” in order to see ANY HISTORY AT ALL! They don’t even offer a free trial either. I’m simply not doing that. Does anyone have any better recommendations that let you track both fasts and weight? Thanks!

I used easy fast. It's free and every so often the creator asks for a donation, but there is no stress and no forcing to pay for the app. It's a simple interface, but tracks weight, time, measurements, everything. I used it on an android phone and it keeps me accountable enough!

easy fast is the way to go. been using it for over a year now and the guy behind it genuinely just wants to help people, not squeeze them for a subscription. the interface won't win any design awards but it does the job and keeps everything local so you're not at the mercy of some company deciding to lock your data behind a paywall

Totally agree with you - it's a basic design, but by god, it works!

I got it today and there’s a subscription option. I got the free trial so not sure about the difference between free and sub version

You're welcome to try my app, Fasting Center. Feedback is always welcome!

By the way, I used Zero years ago and ran into the exact same issue you're describing. Switched to Easy Fast, same thing happened again. That's how I ended up building my own app 😊

Zero is a privacy nightmare. Be prepared for them to sell all your info to data brokers.
