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 ### 5/5 — Unique app *2016-05-02, version 2.1.1* 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 ### 5/5 — I quit with this app! *2016-03-21, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-03-02, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — My favorite app! *2016-02-21, version 2.1.1* 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!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-01-27, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Good ! *2016-01-19, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Lots of support *2016-01-05, version 2.1.1* The engaging aspect of this app is the real time forum of community members who offer support as they quit, too. There are incentives like little awards for progress - little badges and reminders that are helpful. A word of caution and I think wisdom - this app, or any other tool for that matter - will not MAKE you quit smoking if you haven't committed whole heartedly to yourself. I used it for two weeks, then broke for 5 more weeks and smoked. The app didn't stop me and I didn't stop again because of it - I have quit because I am committed to it. So don't blame the app, the patch, the stress - take responsibility and then quit! Oh yeah, so I completely recommend this as a tool to use daily as a motivator and community outreach platform. ### 5/5 — Perfect app for me *2016-01-04, version 2.1.1* I was skeptical about an app to help me quit smoking, but it is actually helping a lot so far!! I chose to taper off to quit (versus going cold turkey) - in this case you input your info, and it comes up with a personalized plan for you to quit. Then it keeps track of your cigarettes and cravings (you have to let it know when you have them of course - it's not magic!). It feels very empowering to have a system to monitor my smoking - it puts me back in control - and I can tell it is much more likely that I will hold the course to quit. ### 5/5 — A bigger help than I expected! *2015-11-27, version 2.1.1* 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. Least helpful were some of the platitudes offered for inspiration in moments of craving, but they at least varied enough that some of them were helpful (and others would certainly be helpful to someone else). ### 5/5 — Good App. Easy to use *2015-11-02, version 2.1.1* Good app. Very simple to setup and start using. Checked out three others and this is the only one with community support which really helps. Have tried everything over the last 35 years and this is the only time I have stuck with it. The feature to record your smoking is really a big help because you really think about having to push that button; makes you feel guilty. In one week, have cur smoking by 30%!! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2015-10-25, version 2.1.1* Very helpful. I enjoy the daily achievements that motivate you to continue on your goal path. I also really like when you press the having a craving button and it gives you information about health benefits of quitting or advice on things to do to help let your craving pass. I'm about to be two weeks smoke free and I'm much happier. This app has helped a lot. ### 4/5 — Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do! *2015-10-22, version 2.1.1* I downloaded this app thinking I'd give keeping track of my days and cravings a try to see if that in any way would help motivate me to remain smoke free. What I didn't expect was to join in posting comments with people I've never met...it's just not my style. The tracking options are ok, but the support from other people that are experiencing the same challenges is truly what makes this app awesome! The majority of my friends don't smoke and really don't understand just how much of a struggle this is and the ones that do smoke would prefer I join them rather than quit (we all know how that is, I can't blame them!) So If talking to strangers is what it's going to take to get me through this challenge, then that's just what I'm going to do! We clearly all have at least one huge thing in common! ### 5/5 — Quitcoach *2015-09-27, version 2.1.1* I lived as a smoker and this app helped me to cut from 30 bowls of my corncob pipe down to less than then maybe about 13 pipe fillings of my whole bad days and 4-5 bowls of my tobacco pipe! I don't think it is great, it is too good to true but it is the real thing! Beautiful how I make new friends and they help me to quit smoking and the schedules of when you could smoke. The cut back system really helps and the reward system is a real good idea!!! God bless this app!!! ### 5/5 — Helps You Stay Motivated & Accountable *2015-08-04, version 2.1.1* If you are committed to quitting smoking, whether now or in the near future, this is a great app! I recommend actively using the app once you begin the process. It helps keep yourself accountable. This app motivates me to continue my path of living smoke free. Watching the number of days I go without smoking is a victory but the battle is long from over. I highly recommend this app. Good luck! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WASTE OF TIME! SKIP THIS APP! *2014-08-03, version 2.1.1* This app is worthless so far. I went through this whole setup process and got asked all these questions, just to get hung up on the username/gender/email page. Cannot continue setup process and have tried a few times over now. I recommend pulling this app from the store due to inability to deliver on anything but a "how long/much have you smoked questionnaire". Lame. Huge let down from Livestrong, but they seem great at that in recent times. iPhone 5s/iOS 7.1.1. *Update* This app is still crap. Cannot complete registration. Fails repeatedly and wouldn't recommend this app ever, especially when you're trying to quit smoking. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Slightly frustrating *2015-02-01, version 2.1.1* Awesome app! But on my second day of using it, it will not let me open! Continues to crash! How am I to continue with my success plan if I am not able to follow it. The idea is great! And when I was able to access all the tools provided it was def a 5 star! Although it'd be nice to share with close family or friends for support. Almost as though to loop them in. On those days you need that extra support they can see your progress and give you that little boost you would need if you have a craving. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Has some cool features to distract *2015-12-12, version 2.1.1* Has some cool features to distract during a craving but you gotta find forum support else where. I quit smoking. 16 years of smoking. Atleast a pack a day smoking. Full flavor 100s smoking. Over half of my life as a smoker. I quit smoking. I have over a month under my belt. To anyone on this site trying to quit.. I have two other free apps. One being "Smoke Free" for me to visualize my progress and the other is "QuitNet" to have insightful conversation about the journey of quitting for good. Beware of this app. It is a joke. These members appear to be a joke. Every once in a while you see something with purpose.. But it is rare. There are better sites, there are better apps available. Don't give up on your quit because real help isn't here, just go to a real place to get it. Where quitting smoking is the common goal. Not saying "like a boss" and other nonsense. ### 3/5 — Frustrating GUI, otherwise decent *2015-07-29, version 2.1.1* Overall a decent app, but needs improvement particularly with the GUI and set up sequence for it to be truly usable to the average user. For example, the date/time picker for cigarette & craving has dark text on a dark gray background and is unreadable. The set up process is not intuitive. One cannot tell whether the FB connect is for a new set up or logging in. Frustrating error mags repeat if you try to use FB connect while setting up a new acct. Creating a new acct via email sets up a livestrong acct, but the FB connect for future log ins/sharing seems to be broken. The general graphics look like they are still designed for the older iPhones with lower resolution and smaller screens. Improve the GUI, eliminate unreadable screens, and fix set up sequence and you'll have a great app. ### 3/5 — A solid app *2014-09-16, version 2.1.1* This app helped a great deal in my ongoing (six months so far) battle to quit smoking. Its best feature is the chat opportunities to speak with other members of the the quitting community. The only thing that bugged me about the app is if you make a mistake and hit the "I smoked" button, it's difficult to go back and erase that and reset your quit Clock again. But I went on the community board and found out how to go back and change it but once I tried to change it the months that I quit clock was completely off. Other than that it's a good app that sends you a message to check in every day and that's a good thing. I used this app in conjunction with others and so far, I'm almost six months quit. Of course you have to want to quit but this app and other apps really seem to help if you're truly committed to not smoking ### 3/5 — Amazing when it works *2014-02-26, version 2.1.1* Great community, very inspirational, the best app for this purpose out there - except for its stability. Sometimes it doesn't open for days at a time and when you're trying to quit, and opening this app for support, a crashing app is the last thing you want. Once the bugs are fixed, it's an easy five star - but the bugs stress me out almost as much as the cravings. If you want the community without the app, check livestrong's MyPlate Conversations for the quit smoking section. It's the same content on your web browser. ### 3/5 — Awesome, when it works *2014-02-17, version 2.1.1* I love this app when it works. I have been able to cut my smoking down to less than a third by logging cravings and keeping track of my smoking budget. Unfortunately, the app suffers a fatal flaw. I tried using this app a year ago to quit smoking and got close, but then the app kept crashing and I became too frustrated to continue using it. I reinstalled it a couple weeks ago and am still facing the same problem. It won't load even after a hard close and reboot. If I try to launch the app about 50 times then I can finally tap a "crave" or "smoked" button before it crashes. Sometimes it launches just fine, but the inconsistency and unreliable nature makes it difficult to want to continue using the app. If you delete the app and reinstall your progress is lost even if you are logged in to Mypoints and Livestrong. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2014-02-16, version 2.1.1* This app is really wonderful and has been instrumental is helping me quit. The community is hugely supportive and someone is always there to cheer you on wen you need it. The reason I'm giving three stars is because the community forums are very poorly unorganized and can be difficult to navigate. Most importantly, however, this app has been crashing constantly. Sometimes I can't get on it for days at a time. Fix those issues and it would be perfect. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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~ ### 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. ### 5/5 — 67 days smoke free *2016-11-24, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — So encouraging *2016-08-29, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — I really loved smoking *2016-05-16, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — A big help. *2016-05-06, version 2.1.1* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
