Ratings and reviews

Best app to maintain your quit smoking journey. It doesn't cost money via in apps or expensive purchase cost. It doesn't promote some unusual methods of quitting. It does what it offers and it does it well. Thanks 👍

Great little app, and exactly what I needed to help with stopping smoking solo. The stats funnily enough were what kept me going strong, plus community and journal are both great tools.

SMOKE FREE 33 days, 22 hours 54 minutes Personally I found to be helpful. Particularly the monetary part. For 2 months I transferred $35 (deck 20's). I saved the cash I would of spent on smokes.. wow $1756 SO FAR only 1 month 1🤯.. However the information provided when you tap on the body needs to be updated regularly to keep us excited & on track for success. Example: After 2 weeks stains on your fingers start to disappear ...YES THEY DO.. WHAT ELSE!!!!! Congratulations everyone
