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 is a great app from the cancer society, and it is completely free with no ads which I really appreciate. It provides tips throughout the day and even offers distraction activities to help curb cravings. The only issue I have is of the five or six games that they have, only one of them work this whole time I’ve had the app. Same thing happened with my husband only one actually work. I would give this five stars if the games would be functional within the app. Would also like to see more physical health related improvements that are occurring during the quit process. But overall, I would recommend this app to help people during the quit process.

I enjoy seeing my health progress but this app doesn’t offer anything close to that. All this is, is a check-in app with a daily quote that I wrote or the app chooses to encourage me which is nice but I just don’t get it. We all have friends or family members who would be much better at seeing encouraging things to us and just reading quotes from your app. The part that encourages me is to see the progress of my health like; blood- oxygen levels and my heart rate and my pulse and everything other apps give you things like that is much more encouraging than this App is, I’m sorry but it’s not helpful at all.😭
