User Reviews

Top pros: reminders, tips, and distraction tools; motivational quotes; plan and notification personalization; and real reports of quitting success. Top cons: distraction games frequently fail to load; overall glitches; and lack of health-progress data (vital signs, etc.). Most mentioned points: supportive check-ins and prompts are valued, but reliability issues and missing health data limit usefulness; some users also want vaping-specific guidance.
Pros
  • Reminders, tips, and distraction tools help manage cravings
  • Motivational quotes and encouragement support quitting
  • Personalization options for plans and notifications
  • Reported effectiveness in helping users quit and stay smoke-free
Cons
  • Distraction games often fail to load or don’t work
  • Overall glitches and bugs reduce app reliability
  • Lacks health progress tracking (no vitals or health metrics)

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!

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.
