I have only just downloaded this app and I am already enjoying the benefits of it, don’t get me wrong I have tried many times & failed however I did manage 4 years off the smoking & after putting my cigarette money faithfully in a jar which could only be smashed to get my money out I actually paid for a new leather suite after only 8 months so that alone kept me going, however with family issues I stupidly started again but now that I have this app I can check it everyday to see my progress. I think this app along with strong willpower will push me on through which is one of the hardest things to give up. I’m 48 now & have a grandson so I want to be able to enjoy him & be as healthy & wealthy as I can be. All I can do is do my best so fingers crossed this app is going to help me along with my journey.........🙏🙏

A decent app

Not a bad app, it could do with some improvements. A ‘since’ or start date would be good to see as a marker. It’s a shame that after 1 month abstaining from smoking all that counts up is a number on a tiny star, some milestones would be beneficial, eg time it takes for nicotine to leave the body, time when entering withdrawal state, side effects to take note of to know that they’re common and will pass. It’s very NHS, so it doesn’t focus on abstaining from nicotine, it actively encourages vaping and nicotine which is a terrible way to stop being addicted to nicotine. But all in all I stuck with it and I’m now 16 months without smoking or nicotine. That would be been awesome to at least have a ‘1 year smoke free’ notification, still, I can tell myself that and I don’t need an app to pay me on the back. Stopping smoking is one of the best things I’ve ever done. This app contributed to me quitting.

I stopped smoking in August 2021 with the help of this App and a lot of self will power . It really helped me focus on what I was trying to do and made it fun instead of a chore . Trying to get the badges and seeing how much I was saving kept me focused on the App rather than the stopping smoking . Ok I slipped back a few times in the early days and the app even helped me with getting back to what I was trying hard to do., got me back to my goal . And now I can honestly say I’ve finally stopped smoking . It’s a wonderful App , that offers help and makes you determined to see the task through . I still use it today but only to check how much I’m saving . It’s amazing .
