### 5/5 — The Perfect App

*2019-07-24, version 2.0*

I found the app to be highly engaging and truly enjoyed the matching games and mini-quizzes in each of the levels. The app has given me a completely different outlook on tobacco, informing me about tobacco products that I wasn’t aware of (such as snus and dip) and allowing me to make a pledge to myself to commit to a tobacco-free life.

### 5/5 — A Great Weapon In the Fight Against Tobacco

*2019-07-24, version 2.0*

Overall, the Tobacco-Free Teens app is a fantastic tool that not only educates about the dangers of emerging tobacco products but immerses the user with its interactive mini-quizzes and unique story progression. I learned so much that I feel confident enough to help others commit to a tobacco-free lifestyle, however, I feel there will always be room for improvement as times change and new products arise.

### 5/5 — App
