It really did help.

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.

Response from developer

Amazing! Congratulations and thanks for the review.

No adjustment

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.

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.

Finally

Great tool. Smoked 25 years and finally quit.

Developer Help, Please?

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

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!

Wish it was free

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.

App géniale mais…

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.

Helpful but haven’t quit

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.

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!

Impossible de se servir de l’ application

Je n’arrive pas à aller plus loin que la personnalisation du programme. Ce là ne fonctionne pas.

Estoy dejando de fumar GRACIASSSS

De verdad, increíble. Mil gracias.

Amazing! Congratulations and thanks for the review.

Good so far!

I’m enjoying the app so far! I was looking for an app that could help me gradually decrease my smoking without fear mongering. It does this well and it’s very useful for holding myself to account. My only complaint is I wish it had an option for hand rolled cigarettes!! All the apps are based on ready rolled so it’s hard to estimate it for me as I roll my own. Also when you roll your own it’s easy to just smoke half rather than a whole ciggie in one sitting, so that would be an amazing setting I would use. Thanks though!

This works!

I essentially never review apps, but this one… Worth it. I started with a pack a day habit and when I say I’m addicted to nicotine, I really REALLY mean it. I’m on week 4 and I have already reduced my smoking by 41%— I’m a week ahead of schedule. This is the first program I have ever used that I’ve seen any real and sustainable progress with, without terrible withdrawal symptoms. Each week so far I’ve had to increase my time between cigarettes by 5-10 minutes. It’s also made me more aware of times when I’m prone to smoking more (like when driving or in the morning), so I’m more conscious about changing my patterns. This is the first app I’ve ever seen that takes a flexible and gradual approach to quitting—every other app I’ve seen focused on cold turkey which just wasn’t going to happen for me. It does cost $10 a month after the free trial week, but it honestly more than paid for itself in its first week as I was buying less cigarettes. I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with quitting.

Bug crash de l’application ?

Depuis plusieurs jours, impossible de se connecter, est ce une erreur de ma part ? J’ai désinstallé l’application pour la réinstaller et je m’aperçois que je dois repartir à zéro ?? Et impossible de restaurer mes achats.. pouvez vous m’en dire plus? Merci

Just downloaded it

Simple to understand and use. I do wish there was a widget. I’m feeling confident about this though.

Response from developer

Hey thanks for your comments! We will take it into account for the future ! I’m glad that you like the app! Regards !

Excelente.

Luce súper bien, ya que usualmente es lo que se necesita ir dejando de fumar gradualmente hasta que no tengas ansiedad, solo sería perfecta si pudieras hacer los registros desde el Apple Watch ya que facilitaría la experiencia y la facilidad para realizar los registros y las notificaciones. Excelente aplicación.

Great app

This is a great app! I literally downloaded every app in the store trying to find one with a timer. I did the free 1 week trial and smoked less than normal. Wasn’t sure about paying for it so went looking for another and ended up back here and paying.

My only issues are I wish we could choose the amount of time we want to quit (Personally I wanted to quit in 1.5 months) and my second issue is I would love a timer that actually notifies my phone with a sound. I feel like a week for each phase may be too long, maybe an option to move to the next phase halfway through the week? Otherwise great app!

Hi thanks for your comments ! The pace of reduction of smoked cigarettes each week (time of the program) is to try to avoid anxiety as much as we can without compromising progress. We avoid reminding our users to smoke but make it clear on screen with a silent notification to help to get a longer time without consumption. Enjoy the phases that feel easy and don’t advance phases til you feel totally comfortable, this way you help your body to get used to less amount of nicotine and other chemicals. Regards!

So far, I really like it.

I’m at the end of my first week and I’m happy so far. At first I thought it was too easy but after a couple of super stressful life events, the app has shown me how easy it would be for me to smoke way more than my usual. I do expect to complete the program and stop smoking and have started recommending it to others 🙂

Time change

I thought this program was excellent until the time change, now it ihas actually lost a day. It thinks I have smoked 2 cigarettes today (Tuesday at 12:08 AM) but I have just smoked one, and didn’t track any of Monday’s…there was a time change Sunday wonder if this is why.
