Forward
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every quit app resets you to zero after one cigarette. That's why you deleted the last one. This one doesn't. Forward asks nine questions, then builds a plan around your actual dependence ā how soon you smoke after waking, how your last attempts ended, whether you want to stop at once or step down with an end date. When you slip, the day counter does not move backward. The slip is logged as a point on a line that only runs forward, the plan adjusts, and you keep going. Three slips in a week and the app offers you a different method instead of letting you quietly give up. Three days free, no card. Then it is one payment, once. ⢠A day counter that never goes backward ⢠A plan branched from your answers, not a template ⢠Body-recovery markers from the standard cessation timeline, updating daily ⢠One-tap daily check-in, and a home-screen widget with your progress ⢠Money shown as progress toward something you named ā not a pile of cash No account. No subscription. No cloud. Everything stays on your iPhone. One purchase, yours for good.

Verdict
Forward and Pump Timer are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters ā price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them ā neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
