Ratings and reviews

I have been a nonsmoker for 23 days and 22 hours . QG lays it out for you. It provides pragmatic information and mental exercises to help keep you informed of the positive changes happening within you. They provide a timeline that is extremely helpful to me personally. One of my favorite features about QG albeit simple, is the daily check in. "Did you smoke today?" Pressing that no button is absolutely gratifying! My gripe is that I do not have access to features due to quitting cold turkey.

Logging in via browser is weird and not very streamlined, and there is no clear way to cancel a trial. Apparently, this can be done via the Subscriptions tab here in the Play Store, but this app isn't listed there for me so I've had to reach out to support. I'm really hoping I don't get charged like some others!

Please add options for editing past data entries. I didn't understand how important historical data was, such as logging cigarettes before my quit date. As such, when my quit date arrived, there weren't any points of reference from when I was smoking. I messed up my first few check-ins & the only option was to delete them. I couldn't go back and edit the info so It appeared that I had slipped up and smoked when really I hadn't. Now I just want to grab some cigs and start over, but Iim not. Ugh!
