“What I find most helpful is the community. I love it! Having a good day or bad you always get words of encouragement.” -- Whitwhit33

“With my decision to quit and the help of this easy to use system with achievement based goals to get you a little hyped about getting healthier.” -- Princesskitten420

“I don’t think I could have made it this far without this app and the people. Every morning before I get out of bed and every evening before falling asleep, I read through the messages of other people’s success stories, their struggles, what motivates and inspires them to quit, and I realize I am not in this fight along. I have other people I can count on for help. This app has helped me and anyone who is wanting to quit should be a part of this community. It will help you succeed too.” -- Jovita74

“Most helpful (to my surprise) was the ability to track cravings and watch them taper off as the weeks went by (i.e. see quantifiable proof that it actually IS getting easier). Also was nice to have something that I could DO when I was having a craving, rather than just grit my teeth and bear it.” -- Polly Glossia

### 5/5 — Change the way you think!

*2019-11-10, version 3.1*

I love this app! There are only two taper apps and this one is straight to the point. I have cut my smoking in half in just a week. Cold turkey has never worked for me and is frowned upon here in America, but not in other countries. I went from thinking I need a cigarette after to dinner to let’s do something else awhile, to soon retraining myself to not even crave after I eat. Hours can go by without smoking now and it’s psychologically changing the way you think, which is a huge part of it! Sometimes change takes time and this app gives you that. Tonight I had two cigarettes left and that motivates me even more to quit. After midnight I count out my cigarettes just in case I forget to log it in so I’m sure. I find I’m not focusing on it or freaking out if I’m near my limit.

### 3/5 — App? Great! Community? Poor.

*2019-02-03, version 3.1*

This app helped me taper down from 25+ cigarettes a day straight to quitting. It was great to check in, track my smoking, get motivation, and also have a daily plan on the number of cigarettes I could smoke. However, when I would jump over to the community tab I would have issues. The community as a whole largely only supports quitting cold turkey with no NRT. If you post to the community and are not a part of this cohort, the responses range from a lack of support to an utter shaming of the user. It truly turned me off the app. Now that I have quit and am maintaining the quit, I think I’m going to delete this app. SmokeFree is a much better app once you have actually quit and tracks more Heath achievements than just money saved and the fact that you haven’t smoked that day, including tracking your NRT. If you’d like to taper down, this is a great tracker to help you. But do not venture to the community tab unless you have quit cold turkey.

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2018-09-02, version 3.1*

I love this app so far. It’s very simple and it’s actually free, the fact that I can quickly just add that I’m craving a cigarette means EVERYTHING because instead of going out to smoke I quickly just put down that I’m craving, and I feel like I have accomplished something, and I can physically see the amount of times that I have resisted the urge to go smoke. It’s like a little pat on the back. And once I put down that I’m craving, I DONT go out to smoke because then I feel responsible that I have logged CRAVING and not smoking. Very helpful

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful

*2017-09-13, version 2.1.1*

This app has been a savior for me. The app makes quitting somewhat like a game that I just want to continue doing better at.I can track my progress and even get community support from other people who are quitting. What's even better is I can also help other people. The app makes it to where I really want to be a non smoker so I can help others to become non smokers. It's brilliant!!

### 5/5 — Great app to quit smoking

*2017-07-29, version 2.1.1*

Super useful app to quit smoking, with my decision to quit and the help of this easy to use system with achievement based goals to get you a little hyped about getting healthier. Amazing supportive community full of people trying to quit to people who are living smoke free. If you're thinking about quitting or trying to, I highly recommend this app. As if being healthier isn't reward enough the achievements you unlock by hitting certain goals helps spark up the experience of giving up smokes. You can do it, and be proud of yourself for whatever progress you make big or small ✨ happy trails~

### 2/5 — Reduces too fast

*2017-04-20, version 2.1.1*

OK, maybe I'm using it wrong. I put in my quit date: 45 days in advance. So one would think that it would gradually be cutting me down, right? But no. It's one cigarette a day until you get to zero. So long before my "Quit Date" I'm a non-smoker. Wrong. I'm stuck at around 13. If it would let you stay at, say, 13 for 3 days, THEN lowered it to 12 for 3 days, and so on. I think I could do that. On top of that, if I smoke 13 for three days, it just keeps counting down, so now so now the app is at 10. I need to find an app that will gradually cut down the amount I smoke in a realistic way.

### 5/5 — Tried and true

*2017-03-29, version 2.1.1*

This is a great app, if you use it the way it should be used. Lying to your app about the number of cigarettes you have smoked is only hurting yourself and your progress!!! 19 days smoke free and counting. My boyfriend and I downloaded the app and quit together, holding each other accountable-- having a buddy/partner on this adventure makes a huge difference in the level of motivation you'll have and be able to maintain.

### 5/5 — Finally Quit.

*2017-02-21, version 2.1.1*

This app isn't anything miraculous, but it helps you keep track, gives you achievements for certain accomplishments and has a "Craving button" you can press to be reminded why you are quitting, tons of different facts, tips and tricks that really worked for me. 
The biggest thing this app taught me is cravings typically only last 5-7 minutes and if you just don't succumb in those 5-7 mins next thing you know, you've quit.

### 4/5 — Great support app

*2017-01-25, version 2.1.1*

I didn't give it 5 stars because next to the "cravings" button where you record you cravings, is an "I've smoked"button right next to it, that button actually gives me more cravings when I go to record a craving. Fortunately I haven't smoked, and this app helps you record your progress- for free. They also give you great motivation tips and allow you to interact with other users using the app.

### 4/5 — Best app for quitters

*2017-01-15, version 2.1.1*

The app is a huge help for logging your intake and cravings, while automatically reducing your limit for you. As long as you can slightly self discipline yourself and fight a few cravings it's pretty easy to control your budget. I've been on the app for almost 10 days and have come in under budget every day besides one day I hit my budget limit but not over. The achievements are fun to play along with and help push yourself a little further, but more achievements could be a help in future updates. The community posts are really an amazing feature because everyone is there to quit so you have a lot of support that actually understands what your going thru. Amazing support system if you utilize the community. My only real criticisms would be that It would be nice to get real notifications from the community posts and it would be nice to somehow save a "friends list" making it easier to check in or contact people you are in support with maybe a private message option, but completely open community is nice to keep the community going 

A+++ app overall
