App doesn’t load

It had been working great but all of a sudden yesterday, I cannot get past the load screen!

add notification option for every hour?

hey been trying to quit for a month and that’s okay it takes time, but one suggestion, i’m awake nearly all hours of the day and night and i think having an option to receive a helpful encouragement every hour to help all the way throughout the day. other than that great app!

Haven’t tried yet but yikes

So I haven’t tried the app yet but I wanted to try and get off the vapes so I figured this app would help first I was shown an add for this app 2000 times so I finally down load it and the first thing it asked is when do you plan to quit so I said 2 months from now after my trip to Bali that’s when I was planning to quit anyway but it just flat out wont let you put that in cos it more than 2

Review when used on mobile

I have downloaded the app onto my phone as I want to quit vaping however it doesn’t appear to be made for mobile as the screen doesn’t show the continue button to set my goals and things….really disappointed I can’t use it

Bug fix needed

Needs a bug fix. Can’t scroll down to continue after “change notifications in settings” no choice but to delete the app as you can go no further

My ROCK

I don’t know what I would have done without stumbling on this app huge thanks to the Australian government for putting this together 🙏🙏

Helps a lot

Really found this useful in celebrating my efforts. I became excited about watching my statistics grow. More money saved! More cigarettes avoided! A new kind of dopamine!

Genuinely helpful

Great app - 1 year 3 months down, if you’re dedicated and what assistance give this a crack, this helps but you’re in charge 👊

Helpful

This actually works. Thanks for the support.

Hopeless app, can only go so far then freezes after telling you you’re all set to go, cannot add subtract or go anywhere, I need a smoke after this…

I wanted help and didn’t get it
Pathetic

Boring and makes me want to smoke

This app is really old , and looks so tired . In fact it’s so boring I want to smoke more - I feel no motivation from this app. In fact I think it provides less than it did years ago . Do better

Got to say it works.

Thank you Australian Department of Health and Aging! This resource has helped me quit for good, when I was possibly the most addictive person in the world. The focus on First Nations Mob has made me stronger, give it a go! For the Elders and Ancestors…

Actually free AND helpful!

There are so many quitting apps but this one is actually free to track your progress. You can customize how many check-ins per day, there are resources if you need them and even a community to bounce off ideas and struggle, if you wish. Best one I’ve found (after downloading and deleting 6-7 apps before finding this one!)

Highly Recommend!!!

I strongly encourage this app to anyone looking for a tool to quit. It’s helped me quit after 10 years of vaping. It individualizes a plan that fits you, whether it’s quitting cold turkey or a slow quit. I was only looking for a timer basically but this blew me away. Plenty of resources such as logging cravings, simple games to distract when you need it, words of encouragement etc. This app made quitting way easier than I thought, and you can do it too!!

Needs work

At present not impressed, I haven’t stopped at all, and when I put in the time I stuff up, there’s no record I can view, that may help to stop. It’s really just an inaccurate daily count, which doesn’t relate to anything.

Screen freeze

I can’t use on iPhone 8 because the pages go past the bottom of my screen so I can’t move on no matter what I do! Maybe my phone is not the right match?

Very basic
