Change the way you think!
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.

App? Great! Community? Poor.
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.

Great!!!
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

Extremely helpful
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!!

Great app to quit smoking
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~

Reduces too fast
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.

Tried and true
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.

Finally Quit.
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.

Great support app
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.

Best app for quitters
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

67 days smoke free
This app is great. I truly feel like it helped me continue on my path of being free from cigarettes. Whenever i had a craving, i would just look at this app and see how I've come. I didnt wanna ruin that by putting in that I smoked so.....I didn't. I couple days turned into a couple weeks, which turned into a couple months. I have now been cigarette free for 67 days and I feel amazing.

So encouraging
I love this app. I'm currently using it for the 4th time. But don't let that discourage you. I'm truly ready and wanting to quit, what I find most helpful is the community. I love it! Having a good day or bad you always get words of encouragement.
The only thing I would change about the app: when tracking a smoke or craving, it should ask what you're doing, and how you're feeling. All smokers know their main triggers, but there are always hidden triggers that need to be focused on too.
To everyone that uses this app: best wishes to all of you wanting to quit. This is a great app and always visit the community. It feels great to support other smokers quitting and those who have quit, and of course it's a rewarding feeling having everyone there also supporting you.

I really loved smoking
But I loved my health more. I decided to stop smoking after 10 years on and off. This app was supportive, and those nights I really wanted a cig I'd log on and the community was there and encouraging me to not quit, quitting.
The trick to quitting is wanting (somewhere in the back of your mind, for whatever reason) to want to quit.
It's been a year smokefree now, and I'm just getting around to writing this - but this app is awesome for the quitters out there.

A big help.
It helps keep me accountable to myself and indirectly to my friends through social networks. Every time I screw up and start over, I know that the best way to keep track and make sure I do better is to use this app. Being able to see how much better I do each time helps. I know I'll quit for good soon. This app will have been a big part of that.

Unique app
I love how this app focuses more on trial until you succeed rather than telling you how your health is improving which only means you will have to reset from zero if you slip. Even if u slip using this app you will wake up next day and try again without resetting. As long as ur cravings are becoming less and your slipping less it will be progress

I quit with this app!
Despite several failed attempts with this app, I finally quit- just needed a little extra inspiration. But considering it's just an app and not NRT, it's still a pretty powerful little tool. My advice: once you get to the point where it's misery waiting for when you can have your next smoke, just quit at that point. Get the misery over with sooner rather than later and keep tracking your cravings. You should notice a promising pattern of declining cravings. After 3 weeks without a cigarette, I log 1 or no cravings per day. And when I do have a craving, it's like a fleeting thought rather than a stinging persistent urge. Hang in there- it gets MUCH easier.

Love this app
I quit smoking on January 1, 2016. With the help of the people from this community I have been able to remain smoke free for over two months. 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 success stories, their struggles, what motivates and inspires them to quit and I realize I am not in this fight alone. I have other people I can count on for help. This app has helped me and anyone who is wanting to quit should be apart of this community. It will help you succeed too.

My favorite app!
I have successfully quit smoking for 21 days as of right now! I owe it almost all to this app. I love how supportive the livestrong community is and how inspirational it is reading success stories! I post to the community forum almost daily and comment on others' posts. It gets me through every craving! I like how you can choose to wean off or do it cold turkey, and how you can record your cravings or the butts you've smoked. It also keeps track of how much money you've saved. The only thing I wish it had was a health benefits timeline, where you can see how your health has improved since quitting. I had to download another app for that, I wish this one had it all! But still five stars-I absolutely love this app and it's one of the main reasons I have stayed quit. I highly suggest getting this app if you're trying to quit! You will fall in love with it!
Update: when I first wrote this review, I was only 8.5 days quit, but I lasted for 14 months. I started up again, but quit twice more after that. Now I'm doing it again, three weeks today, and I feel ready to make this my LAST quit! This community welcomed me back with open arms every time, and they were so encouraging:-) I highly, highly, highly recommend this app! You can always delete it if you don't like it, but I promise you won't delete it because you're going to love it! And it's free!!

Great App
Really great app. I just wish there weren't so many advertisements/surveys that pop up. I almost always click on them accidentally. I also wish that there was a history/log and not just a calendar view or check-in log in order to see the totals smoked each day. Even better, the times smoked each day (just a general AM/PM timeframe) and options to log what you were doing while smoking (on the phone, drinking alcohol/coffee, just woke up, before bed, before/after eating, bathroom). That way, you can track your habits and better adjust to doing those things without feeling the need to smoke.

Good !
It's a great app, when you have cravings and log them in, it gives you tips on how to fight it. I also have a pic of my kids as a background photo to help motivate me. I also like how it tells you how much money you save while in the process. I would recommend this to anyone trying to quit. What is hard to get used to is remembering to log everything in the app. Other than that it is easy to use and helpful.
