### 5/5 — Interessant

*2026-08-08*

Application intéressante, après plusieurs tentatives, j’ai pu arrêter le tabac … le compteur donne une prise de conscience… chacun trouvera son propre rythme, car il n’y a pas de règles pour l’arrêt de cette drogue 🙏🙏

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour votre message. Félicitations pour avoir arrêté de fumer ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que l’approche progressive et la prise de conscience apportée par le suivi vous aient aidé. Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience et nous vous souhaitons le meilleur pour la suite. 🙏

### 4/5 — Better than others

*2026-08-05*

This app is great compared to others. I just wish it would count for sometimes I only want to hit a cigarette or smoke a half a cigarette to help with the reduction and it doesn’t allow any input for that. I think that would be a great thing to add.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying Alive.

We understand how smoking only half a cigarette or taking just a few puffs can be another way to reduce. The difficulty is that building the program around this would make tracking much more complex, since the number and intensity of puffs can vary considerably.

It could also make the process more demanding for the user. Having to constantly count puffs or decide whether each cigarette was a half, a quarter, or some other amount can turn tracking into an extra task throughout the day and eventually become tiring.

That’s why Alive intentionally keeps cigarettes as a simple unit and focuses primarily on gradually increasing the time between them. We want reducing to be something you can follow without having to constantly measure every detail of your smoking.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion and for giving Alive a try!

### 5/5 — It really did help.

*2026-06-17*

2 years and 5 days today, and I thought it would never happen. Give it a try, or 10 tries until it works. It’s definitely worth it.

**Developer response:** Amazing! Congratulations and thanks for the review.

### 2/5 — No adjustment

*2026-06-16*

This app doesn’t adjust to the way I smoke. It does simple math to set the time for next cigarette.
It should see that I smoke 4 cigarettes in a row sometimes and shorten the time between smokes to account for that knowing I won’t wait 25 minutes to smoke but maybe 10-15 at first. I smoke more in the morning and at night. There should be an algorithm that takes all these factors in to account. I may have to find an app that can do that.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback.

The idea behind Alive is actually a little different from what you’re describing. The goal of the program is to gradually help users increase the waiting time between cigarettes and build longer periods without nicotine.

If the app continuously adjusted itself to every smoking pattern, it would also need to account for weekends, workdays, vacations, parties, stressful situations, holidays, and many other variables. In practice, that would often reinforce existing habits rather than help create new ones.

Our approach is intentionally simpler: gradually separate cigarettes so your body gets used to longer periods without nicotine, regardless of the specific situation or time of day.

That said, different people prefer different methods, and we genuinely hope you find the approach that works best for you. Thanks for giving Alive a try.

### 5/5 — Top !

*2026-06-04*

Je viens de découvrir l’application et je la trouve très prometteuse. Un widget sur l’écran d’accueil permettant d’enregistrer rapidement une cigarette fumée en un clic serait très pratique et constituerait un vrai plus pour l’application.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-02-25, version 1.43*

Great tool. Smoked 25 years and  finally quit.

### 3/5 — Developer Help, Please?

*2026-01-06*

I really like this so far and it is way better than other apps but I can’t set the day schedule thing to match with the hours I am awake. My day usually doesn’t end until 3am but the app always resets the counter at midnight and it is so stressful because then I technically go over and then I feel bad so I am stuck in a loop of not being able to move forward. Please help Mr Developer I just need to be able to have the counter not go to the next day until like 3 or 4am

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your comments! 

The day does reset at midnight, and I understand this can feel confusing if you stay up late.

What’s important to understand is that this works the same way every day. Cigarettes after midnight count toward the new day, then cigarettes after midnight the following day count toward the next one, and so on. Because of this, the overall pattern stays consistent over time, even if your personal day ends later.

What often causes issues is relaxing late at night and then starting the next day with a higher count early on, which makes it easier to reach the daily limit. That’s why what really helps is respecting the waiting times and the schedule you set at the beginning of the program.

As long as you keep recording your cigarettes and follow those waiting times, the program continues to work as intended — even with a late schedule.
Regards!

### 1/5 — Wish it was free

*2026-01-03, version 1.42*

Great app has really been helping so far but after a week you can’t use it anymore unless you pay. Deleted it instantly. Will find another app that does the same for free.

### 2/5 — App géniale mais…

*2025-12-02*

J’avais déjà Alive sur un ancien téléphone, une super app le concept est très bien. Je la réinstalle sur un nouveau téléphone, et je ne peux pas aller plus loin que sur la rubrique du départ « personnalisons ton programme ». Lorsque que je veux avancer « remplis tous les champs » se trouve à la place de « continuer », alors que tous les champs sont remplis. On ne peut pas avancer dès le départ. Dommage.

**Developer response:** Listo, aquí tienes una versión más natural, más útil y más amable en francés, manteniendo tu estilo.
El primer párrafo se queda, y el resto pide más detalles + captura + que escriba al mail.

⸻

Versión final en francés:

Bonjour,
Merci pour ton message. Sur iOS, ce problème peut parfois venir du clavier, de l’accessibilité (taille du texte) ou d’un réglage qui empêche l’app de détecter que tous les champs sont remplis.

Pour que nous puissions t’aider correctement, pourrais-tu nous envoyer plus de détails, idéalement une capture d’écran du problème ?
Tu peux nous écrire directement à contact@quitsmoking-app.com et nous regarderons ça avec plaisir.

Cordialement !

### 4/5 — Helpful but haven’t quit

*2025-10-20*

I’ve had this app for about 3 years and redownload it every 7 months or so. I have never been able quit but I know it’s been a helpful tool. And there are so few tools/apps that actually help (ugh so much on the market was clearly never designed by anyone who actually struggled to quit). I really wish it had a widget so I could make it more visually accessible. The one time, lifetime membership is nice. Yes expensive, but if it helps you cut out even a fraction of your cigarettes it will pay for itself quickly. Hoping this go will stick.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words and for sticking with it — every try truly counts. Each attempt brings you closer to finally making it happen, and the fact that you keep coming back already shows real progress. Wishing you strength and calm for this new start!

Regards!
