Ratings and Reviews
Invaluable Buddy
This app has been soooo useful to me. Every day I listen to Glenn Harold’s Stop Smoking app, which utilizes hypnosis. It has a journal so I keep track of My Best Buddy facts in that journal when I listen to the hypnosis Tracks. I am so encouraged every day. I love to see how much money I’ve saved! I have already saved (in just 45 days) $575! That is about half the cost of a round trip flight to Honolulu. My goal is to use the money I save to make my third trip to Hawaii. Also, I was astonished to see how many cigarettes I have not smoked. In the last 45- days I have avoided almost 1,200 cigarettes. I had no idea! I needed to see that! Anyone quitting tobacco should use this app.
So happy I quit smoking!
After 43 years of being a smoker, I was able to quit 7 1/2 years ago. I love having this app on my phone. Every couple of months I check it to see how many days I have been smoke-free. I love that it keeps count for me.
“An Incomplete App”
I guess its a good app if you never relapse, but if you do relapse, there doesn’t seem to be any way to enter in the app. It was very frustrating to see the notification “still going strong?” when the answer was no, and there was no way to provide the answer of no. I kept the app for quite a while despite relapsing several times, and i came to see the accumulated days of being “smoke free” as a vicious mockery. If there was simply an easy way to log the days where you slipped up, i think it’d be much easier to figure out what your triggers were, and ultimately it’d be easier to quit.
