User reviews

Not for teens who vape

Old school. References only cigarettes and tobacco. Not vaping. Not very intuitive UI. References that smoking cigarettes kills more people than the combination of car accident accidents and AIDS. Old reference.

Helpful for quitting BUT

This app has been great for my quitting smoking journey with the exception that the games do not work at all and the calculations on the money have been saving are wrong. Everything else has been great.

Not What I Was Hoping For

This app is frustrating. It tells me I have “x” number of things to do. Nowhere does it tell me what those things are. The tips are not useful.

There’s a date on the home page marking when I joined the app. It counts up from then, not my quit date. So…the app is more important than my accomplishment. Okay.

There is a “distract me” with games. Only one generic flappy bird on works. Everything else is you staring at a loading screen with what looks like a rocking, highly traumatized panda.

Is he traumatized because this app keeps reminding him about smoking when he’s six months out? Or that the app doesn’t care that he’s said he’s doing fine? Maybe!

Suggestion

Would like to be able edit the prices to see how much money I save. I don’t just buy smokes, I typically spend about $25-30. Would be nice to be able to see that running total in the app.

Felt supported

I liked the progress updates the app offered. Ie.how much you saved (for me the $ was about half of what the cost actually was - showed I had saved 120 in 2 weeks and that was actually the cost for one week) still helpful to watch the dollars add up. I also liked tally of smokes that I’ve said no to - that’s inspirational to keep going. I would absolutely recommend this app to someone who is ready to quit smoking.
