Have you considered quitting smoking? Whether you’ve already quit smoking or you’re still thinking about it, QuitNow will help you quit tobacco for good. Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health: it reduces your risk of disease, you regain energy, you save money, and you also protect the people around you. But the truth is, quitting isn’t easy. That’s where QuitNow comes in. QuitNow was born in 2011, created by a smoker who wanted to quit. Since then, we’ve grown, brought in addiction specialists, and refined our tools so you can quit tobacco for good: YOUR EX-SMOKER STATUS When you quit smoking, it’s important to clearly see what you’re achieving. That’s why on QuitNow’s home screen you’ll see how long it’s been since you last smoked, how many cigarettes you haven’t smoked, how much money you’ve saved, and how much life you’ve regained. COMMUNITY: THE EX-SMOKERS’ CHAT Having a smoke-free environment is crucial when you quit. QuitNow offers a chat full of people who, like you, have said goodbye to tobacco. Sharing your journey with other ex-smokers will make your path easier. LIVE SESSIONS WITH AN EXPERT Every month we host a live session with a smoking-cessation expert. In these sessions, the psychologist explains the best way to quit smoking and answers attendees’ questions live. These sessions are a unique opportunity to get personalized advice and resolve doubts in real time. A COMPLETE COURSE TO QUIT SMOKING Some people prefer a more structured method when they quit. That’s why QuitNow includes a step-by-step course designed to guide you throughout the entire quitting process. It works like a digital book, but integrated inside the app. MILESTONES: SMALL MOTIVATIONS TO QUIT SMOKING As with any task in life, quitting is easier when you break the challenge into smaller goals. That’s why QuitNow offers 80 milestones based on the cigarettes you’ve avoided, the days you’ve gone without smoking, and the money you’ve saved. This way, you can start celebrating your wins from day one. YOUR HEALTH AS AN EX-SMOKER In QuitNow you’ll find a list of health indicators that show how your body improves day by day. These indicators are the same ones published by the World Health Organization, and we update them as soon as the WHO does. Plus, QuitNow includes other sections designed to help you on your journey to quit smoking. QUITNOW AI Whenever questions come up during your quitting process, you can turn to QuitNow AI. It’s designed to provide clear, reliable information, based on our course and on data from the World Health Organization. BOOKS TO HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING Learning techniques and approaches to quit can make the process much easier. That’s why we’ve selected well-known books that can effectively help you on your path to a tobacco-free life. ALSO ON YOUR WATCH QuitNow’s Apple Watch app and its widgets and tiles let you track your progress, see how much you’ve saved, and check your smoke-free stats right from your wrist. Because we dedicate so much time and effort to it, we firmly believe QuitNow is the best app to quit smoking. As always, there’s room for improvement—so if you have any idea to make QuitNow even better, please write to us at ios@quitnow.app. We truly hope QuitNow supports you on your journey to a tobacco-free life.

VOWS Training

VOWS is built for lifting: you log the set on your wrist, the app keeps everything else. LOG SETS FROM YOUR WRIST Your phone can stay in your pocket or bag. Apple Watch shows the next exercise, target reps and weight, and you log the set right there. The rest timer and heart rate are on your wrist. The watch only sends what you did; the phone keeps the record. THE LOAD PROGRESSES ON ITS OWN When every set of an exercise reaches its target, the next session adds weight. Miss even one set and the load holds — it won't push you before you're ready, and it won't knock you back either. Bodyweight moves add reps first, then step up to a harder variation. Change the weight mid-session and the sets you already did stay exactly as you did them. A PROGRAM READY TO GO, OR BUILD YOUR OWN Pick your goal (muscle, strength, fat loss, endurance), your equipment (full gym, dumbbells only, bodyweight), your experience and how many days a week you train. The program comes with weekly set volume, rep ranges, tempo and rest worked out. Don't like an exercise? Swap it for an equivalent one. Or write the whole program yourself. COACH REPORT (PRO) Written by rules from your own log. It doesn't guess, and it never shows a value that wasn't measured. • How the same lift is going on two different days — sets hit on each, side by side. • How many days it took a load you missed to stick. • First set full, later sets dropping: is it the load or the rest? • How many increases came on their own because you hit your targets, and how many you added by hand. • Whether you're doing the same work at a lower average heart rate (with Apple Watch). IT REMEMBERS ITS ADVICE (PRO) When the coach gives advice, it keeps it. At the end of a program, the completion report tells you which advice you followed, how your sets went afterwards and whether anything is still unresolved. Advice that can't be measured yet gets no verdict. The report also exports to PDF. PROGRESS (PRO) Your main lifts week by week, your weekly streak and a summary of the program so far. A stalled lift isn't hidden; the summary tells you how many weeks it has been stuck. YOUR DATA IS YOURS • No account, no ads. • Backups go to your own iCloud Drive (heart rate and calories read from Apple Health stay out of it); restore from there when you switch phones. • Finished workouts are saved to Apple Health; heart rate and active energy are read from Health. • Export every set you've logged as CSV. FREE AND PRO Logging, Apple Watch, automatic progression, Apple Health, iCloud backup and CSV are free; you can keep two programs and generate one program automatically. VOWS Pro unlocks the coach report, Progress analysis, the program completion report and PDF, and removes the program and generation limits. Eligible users get a free trial on the yearly plan. VOWS Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; manage or cancel your subscription in App Store settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VOWS Training at none against QuitNow's shown. VOWS Training also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). QuitNow's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
