Fastic Fasting App & Intermittent Fasting Tracker - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

No, this was a new challenge for my Co-Founder Sebastian and me. But we want to bring fasting into the 21st century and therefore we have built a team with whom we are developing the app and who also believe in our vision of becoming the number one in healthy fasting. But we are not completely new in founding. My co-founder and I had an e-commerce business before.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

Nowadays, it is not a challenge to program an app, it is a challenge to bring it to be a good app. The connection between coding and design is an important point of reference. We are very proud of our great team, that supports us in the implementation.

The interviewee, Phillip Wayman, is one of the two co-founders of the Fastic app. Philip, together with Sebastian Wettcke, created Fastic app to provide healthy fasting for everyone!

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

One of my favorite apps is Duolingo. I like the easy handling and the principle of learning with gamification.

How long have you been working on this app?

We started in March 2019 and were able to go live with the first version within 2 weeks.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Live an overall healthier life and optimize your body without dieting.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

There are countless health apps in the market. Calorie or pedometer meters can be found on almost every smartphone, as well as the water trackers. But what doesn't exist yet is an app that simply focuses on an all-round healthy life and wants to fascinate people for it. We also use the principles of gamification in our app to motivate people to keep on track.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We want to become number one in healthy fasting. In the future, we also rely on a mainly remote-based approach. The team is already working with colleagues from Berlin, Dresden, Kyiv, Bangkok, Zurich, and Barcelona. Our network should be further expanded in order to fully exploit the development potential worldwide. We plan to individualize the app even more so that every user can use the app to pursue his or her individual goals.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

We would like if our users tell us about their first experience with Fastic; this will help us make the app better. This is possible in the App Store for example. And of course, if they are satisfied, it would be amazing if they share their experience with their friends to make even more people aware that Fastic can lead to a healthier life.
