### 1/5 — Not transferable to new phone

*2024-05-01, version 3.12*

Downloaded and made in-app purchase… soon after purchased a new phone. This app was the only purchased app that asked me to pay for again. I’m disappointed Max.

### 4/5 — Restore purchase

*2023-11-07*

I upgraded for a lifetime back in 2009, yes I know that’s a long time ago but it said one time purchase. I have emailed several times and have still not heard back from them

### 5/5 — Works!

*2023-03-27, version 3.1*

I used max Kirsten’s quit smoking app 15 years ago and I still haven’t smoked since. If you have a strong want to quit, this app will help. I smoked a pack of 30’s a day before using this. Every now and then when I get a random slight craving his voice pops into mind. Hope this helps someone! 
Thanks max

### 5/5 — I have to thank Max Kirsten!

*2023-01-15*

This app really does work! I quit in March 2015. I was trying for my son in that year after I officially quit and boy I am so grateful for this amazing app! 

I have been quit almost 8 years now! I have stopped having cravings for cigarettes altogether about 2-3 years in. I know that sounds like a long time but I didn’t need the app for a whole year anymore cause I remembered the effects of smoking on my body! My energy returned about a week into quitting and I was around 85lbs and under weight. I got to a great weight at 110lbs and it’s been such a blessing! 

I did this all before I had my son in 2016 and I literally can’t say enough good things about this amazing app.

### 5/5 — IOS 16 Audi/video media player issue fixed.

*2022-12-18, version 3*

NEWS! App software fix has now been added after latest iPhone IOS 16 software update identified a new audio/video media player problem for all past and new users. Problem has now been solved and ready download with new player fix update. 
Thanks for your patience. 
Kind regards, Max

### 5/5 — The App and the method work…

*2022-05-13*

I tried the app several years ago, and the withdrawals were not easy to deal with… I smoked again after by my own fault…

So this time I tried a different approach. I started to listen to the main session for several days prior to my quit day, in order for the hypnotherapy to set in ahead, it went much smoother…

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is struggling to quit…

### 5/5 — Smoking is Poison!

*2022-02-20*

I give this app so much credit for helping me stop smoking. The sessions are really effective. The sounds and the sound of Max’s voice are very relaxing and motivating. It all makes so much sense and made becoming a non smoker so much easier. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — 6 months free and feeling super duper

*2020-11-25, version 1.8*

I wanted to write a review on this app after just a few hours smoke free, that’s how sure I was that I’d quit for good. Instead I thought I’d wait for the 6 month milestone, so you’d all know it was a genuine review based on experience. 
I started smoking aged 14 and turned 48 yesterday, so a very long time. I smoked around 10-15 per day which increased to 20+ thanks to lockdown. I’ve tried many many times to quit but never got past a few weeks. On 24 May 2020, I had my last cigarette, then lay on my bed, earphones in, pressed play on the app and waited for the miracle. 45 mins later I woke up, rather confused... did I nod off? had I been hypnotised? why could I smell stale smoke? I instantly hit play for a second time and 45 mins later I came too again. For the month that followed, I avoided alcohol for the obvious reasons, but when I did eventually have a drink (or 7!) with smoking friends, I still had no desire to smoke. I remembered that I used to like it, enjoy it, love it even, but I’m thrilled that ball and chain is gone. No more wheezing, stinky clothes / breath, and plenty of spare cash to treat myself with. If I ever see Max on the street, he’s getting a great big non-social distance hug from me!!! 
If you REALLY want this, then you too can be free, with the added bonus of minimal weight gain. Go on, treat yourself and all those around you x

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2019-12-27, version 1.71*

It’s not a good hypno app at all. Contains ads in every session, the echo of his voice is SO strong & creepy that it breaks the hypno effect. And the text he is speaking is just plain read from a paper.
Not worth the purchase. I’ve quit smoking with another app

### 5/5 — It’s been 4 1/2 yrs....,This App Works!

*2019-01-08*

Downloaded this App on June 24, 2013, (and again today just to write this review) At that time I was smoking almost one pack per day. Only took one session and haven’t picked up a cigarette since! Thank you Max! No words can express my appreciation.
