App of Real People who Genuinely Care!

I think this is by far going to play the biggest part in my journey to a healthier me & smoke free life-lifestyle! I can’t believe how informative it is, information that OPENS MY EYES, that no one ever taught or told me about when I started smoking! What nicotine is actually made out of, how many different ways it’s affects me, my mind-brain, heart, blood vessels right down to dental issues due to smoking! Loss of sense of smell, taste. Also, putting others, people we love the most in harms way in many different forms by 2nd hand smoke alone. I’m horrified & I’m thinking...”THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT US...SMOKERS ENOUGH TO PROVIDE INFORMATION IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS-FORMS. THANK TOU FOR CARING ENOUGH ABOUT US BY DOING WHAT YOU DO, ENOUGH TO STICK WITH US, BELIEVE IN UD, ENCOURAGE US ENOUGH, TAKE UP YOUR OWN TIME TO HELP US.” ...ALOT of us smokers are those of us who have been smoking aren’t used to people like you. Amazing people who honestly care! Thank you?Think about how many lives you potentially save, have an impact on, families you change please? What you do is HUGE!I definitely appreciate it & recommend you app 100%, hands down!!!

I’m 19 and last year during senior year of high school I let myself get addicted to Juul then I went to Italy for a month where I smoked a pack and a half a day. I made terrible choices and downloading this app is just one step I'm taking to quit. I’m doing this without any medication to help. I think downloading this app should not be your first choice. What I did was first I went to a hospital and talked to a doctor and I was honest with the doctor and asked for any help they could give me. Then every day since I’ve done something differently but something that is clearly enforcing to my brain that I want to quit. This is one of my steps and I plan on using it to try and get through this weekend. I’m a college student so I know I’m gonna get a lot of triggers. What I think is great about this app is that I can set locations for it to remind me. I’ve set reminders for all the frats at my school, my friends dorm and the place I usually get pods or cigs. Tomorrow my step is I’m gonna call a hotline and just talk to them. I think the most important thing for myself is to be committed and also to prove to my brain I’m committed. By saying every morning I’m not gonna smoke and then doing an action that directly aligns with that has made my urges less controlling. I wish anyone reading this the best of luck, you can do this!

I really have enjoyed the way you can personalize everything. The notifications are a great reminder of my goals and the motivational quotes are seemingly endless. I am also doing the nicotine patches and it’s going well so far! I live with someone who smokes and I’ve still been able to stay on the path somehow. This app is great for distractions, tracking moods and cravings and if/when you slip up, it’s great about encouraging you to keep trying. It allows you the choice of starting over with your plan or sticking with the one you’re on. I’ve always chosen to stick to the same one so that I can look back and notice patterns with my triggers that maybe I didn’t see before.

When I first downloaded this app, it was great, but now that I’ve started on Chantix to help me, a lot of the functions in the app aren’t working properly, such as photos and the “brag” button. Every time I try to upload a photo, the app closes completely and the photo does not upload. I wanted to add photos as reminders as to why I want and need to quit. These reminder images are very important to me. Also, I feel that the “Brag” button is a great feature, if only it worked. I feel it would be a great motivator, however, when I click on the button, it only opens up my messengers, printers, notes, etc. when I believe it is supposed to redirect me to a community page of some kind. Not sure about that because I can’t get it to work unless it only wants me to brag to people in my own contact list, but it doesn’t make sense because it tells you that your progress will be featured somewhere where others can view it to motivate them to stay quit.The app is all whacked out right now and I hope they get it working soon.
