Quit Smoking --~ Smoke Free 17+

Perfect for ADHD brain

Honestly, I’ve tried to quit smoking for a while now. Using this app has gotten me further than any other attempts. The reward system and information is so helpful for my adhd brain. It made it a fun challenge to quit smoking without the guilt and shame. The daily totals are my favorite and it really puts it into perspective how much time and money I’ve wasted over the past 14 years I’ve been smoking. I LOVE this app. And my children have been begging me to quit smoking for years, so as much as I hate that it’s become a family activity to check this app obsessively, it has! And it’s never felt better to try to quit a habit I actually kind of loved.

Not clear this app for people who already quit

(response to maker included) This app was not made clear until I already downloaded that it is only for people who have already quit smoking, not for people who are trying to quit smoking or I say it’s for people who already quit or are ready to quit right away, that day, cold turkey. Some people need help weening and scheduling that weening which is what I was looking for in a quit smoking app.

RESPONSE: No, I did not “misunderstand” what this app does. I even doubled checked why because it has been a while. When you download this app, the first thing it asks is your quit date and it will not let you put a date for the future. Some people (actually most people) need to slowly decrease our consumption to limit throwing our body into chaos. Example: I started craving cigarettes like crazy, more than usual, when I changed my diet overnight and started losing weight. I didn’t realize until months later that it was because I put my body into sugar withdrawal. Also research shows people who decrease their initial amount of nicotine consumption have higher success rates of staying quit. So clearly, no I did not misunderstand. When something says it will “help you quit”, please remember there are different methods to reach the same goal.

Developer Response ,

To answer this very old review again. Meanwhile this app has changed a lot. There is a lot of professional knowledge and tools to help people quit smoking. You should use this app and its tools if you want to start quit smoking, not if you still smoke and want to quit sometimes in the future.

Awesome App

As far as quitting smoking, anything helps! I used to smoke at least one pack a day and was a really bad chain smoker. I quit once using medication and fake cigarettes and started smoking again 6 months later (had a really bad time but I know now not to think “just one is okay”). It’s been 5 days so far without one and I’m holding strong! Its mostly will power but the app really helps to keep you motivated with reasons not to smoke and a customized counter showing how much money you’re saving and how many cigs you haven’t smoked. Its a great reminder and it’s cheaper than pack of cigs if you want the premium version!
