Seriously calm down with the ads! ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-04-01* This app is a great one for people who are trying to quite smoking. I really like the the realistic graphics on lung and heart health ### 5/5 — Keep moving forward! Don't look back! *2015-11-23, version 2.42* I'm so proud of myself. I feel better, smell better and like the fact that I'm working towards a healthier life! This app is a life saver!! ### 5/5 — Butt out *2015-10-11, version 2.42* It really does help tremendously!! ### 5/5 — This app really keeps me from lighting up *2015-09-20* I've been a smoker for 10yrs. This is my 4th attempt (the one, I hope) the first one I lasted 6 days, the second one I used this app and lasted 168 days (can't stand that I started up after that long ugh) the third I lasted a day and now my last attempt I am on day 5 and using the app again. It really puts things into perspective when you see how many ppl have died related to smoking. I really like this app but nothing will help you unless you are ready to quit. Find that reason and do it =) ### 5/5 — Top Notch! *2015-09-19, version 2.42* Great App, really helped me quit. ### 3/5 — Eh, it helps... Kinda *2015-09-16* I use the free version of this app, so I can only base my rating by what I've seen/used. Realistically, unless you are truly dedicated to quitting, no program or app is going to work. There is no magic solution; it takes a lot of determination. The main thing this app provides that helps me stay motivated is "money saved" and of course tracking how many days I've been smoke free. The fatalities is not accurate, and quite ridiculous in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Quit for life *2015-09-15* This app saved my life. I've been a chronic chain smoker since I was a teenager. I've tried to quit more than 72 times with every method ever suggested. With this app I'm going on 8 months smoke free. Which I've only done once before and only because I was pregnant. The community and people here are so supportive and so constantly available it gave me the strength I needed to beat this deadly addiction. If you want to stop smoking and can't. If you want to see you family grow old. If you want yo stop smelling like a truck stop..... Then download this app snd you will. How long will be up to you but you'll never need to be alone with your addiction again. ### 5/5 — This app will save your life!! *2015-09-15, version 2.42* This app makes a miserable experience so much easier. Easy to see and track your progress, great messages to help you get through a craving, and the BEST community of people all supporting each other. THIS APP IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUITTING AND QUITTING FOREVER!❤️🚭🚭🚭🚭❤️ ### 5/5 — Convenient for tracking *2015-08-31, version 2.41* Have used several quit smoking apps. This one seems to fit me best. Simple. Easy layout. User friendly. I do not use the community forum, only the tracking portion. But that is just personal preference for me. I cannot say how the forum is. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Infested with ads *2025-09-21* app is good but infested with ads that you cannot get out of. They are forcing you tu buy. ### 1/5 — Useless!! *2022-11-25* I have had this app for a week and it has allowed me access to the FB support community out except for ONE day!! It’s extremely frustrating as that was the sole reason I purchased it. Save your money $$$$$$ ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-04-27* Every time I go into the app I’m bombarded with ads and upgrade requests. It’s so annoying I’m going to find another app. You should at least give someone a chance to use it for a day or 2 before requesting upgrade ### 1/5 — Butt Out is a scam! *2022-04-04, version 2.44* This App was quick and surprisingly efficient and super-fast to take my money (with no technical issues whatsoever). Wrote the admin with my technical issue, NO response at all. I’ve since deleted the App since it is useless and does nothing and the creator/owner of this App is being reported for fraud. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. Makes me want to smoke. 👋 *2022-01-01* If the free version had no ads it would be good. It hits me with notifications when I’m not craving cigs and makes me think about my nicotine addiction. Everything in this app is easily findable on the internet and social media. ### 1/5 — Quitting smoking 🚬 *2021-12-03* Originally, this was a 5 star app. Now, the developers have abandoned the maintenance and it is in disrepair. Contacted them multiple times.. no reply. Sorry 😞 ### 1/5 — нет русского языка *2019-02-22* нет русского языка ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-10-31* I have sent three messages via the app and no one has bothered to reply !!! There is a glitch with this app, I upgraded because I was serious of quitting and needed help. Should have stayed with the free app at least that doesn’t drop out will not recommend this to anyone grrrrr ### 1/5 — You screwed it all up *2018-02-27* This app worked once upon a time but not any more. Pay monthly or GFY. Total garbage app now keep your adds that don’t close. ### 1/5 — Very poor app *2016-08-08* Don't bother ad infested money grab ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quitting smoking *2021-04-18* Love this app just what I was looking for to log my cigarettes to aid me in quitting ### 5/5 — Loved it *2019-02-19* I personally loved this app. It helped me fight the urges to smoke by seeing how far I had come Daily with everything from Health to money saved. I am now a non smoker x 5 years. Would recommend it ### 5/5 — Great app, and top aid to help anyone stop smoking. *2018-11-06* I have smoked for 42 years and with a smoking cessation program and this app I have finally quit. Just seeing the 40 days that I have been smokeless and all the money I have not spent on cigarettes is inspiration enough to keep me going. I feel better than I have felt in a long time and I am not about to throw away 40 days with one cigarette. It has been easier than I ever thought it would be to quite. I only wish I had done it 30 years ago. However a new beginning is better than going to the grave with the coffin nails in my hand. NOPE is my new motto, moving forward smokeless is my new plan. This will be the first time since 1976 that I will be a non smoker for the holidays and that makes me happy and proud of myself. If you smoke, download this app and let it help you quite. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-06-30* I'm one year one month and nine days not smoking. This app is a real eye opener and a great motivator. Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Smoke Free for 4 days and 11 hours! *2016-11-23* I've been using this app to help me quit smoking and it has been amazing! You have to get the paid version to post in the community, but it was worth it! The people here are amazing and are the most important part when trying to quit! BO STRONG! ### 5/5 — It's a wonderful tool... *2016-07-08* I have destroyed my body for over 30 years of smoking. This is a wonderful tool hat provides a support network along with knowledge of how your body responds to the positive affects of stopping smoking. ### 5/5 — 🚫🚬 A New Non Smoker *2016-06-04* This app does help you stay motivated! After smoking for 27 straight years, I have been quit for two months and one day today. I couldn't have done it without this app. If you've tried everything and think there are no others ways, please download this app. YOU really can do it too! ### 5/5 — Helped me quit *2016-05-28* I've tried to quit many times but I've managed to stay smoke free with the help of this app and lifestyle changes. Just helps keep me on track. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-04-25* This app helped me quite after smoking for 30 years. The community was sure supportive and gave me confidence. When I felt I couldn't do it, I would look through the posts and be inspired. Day 356 here....9 days from my 1 year mark and couldn't be happier. Thank you Butt-Out!!! ### 5/5 — Stop smoking *2016-04-23* I did it after 12 years , this app really helped me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
