quitSTART - Quit Smoking

Not sure, it’s only been 22hrs but the app won’t quit hounding me to rate it so here’s my review and a star…I’ll know more in a couple months if the app actually helped me quit smoking or not

Great app to quit smoking and stay a non smoker. Loaded with tons of inspiration and helpful hints and ideas to keep you on track. AND… it’s free! How awesome is that?

I was a smoker for 43 years, and I loved smoking. Smokes were my best friend, they were there for me through every event and situation. Quick start helped me everyday by reminding me I am not alone in this journey and received a surmount if support that has helped me continue to not smoke 💨

It’s free and very easy to use tool has help me quit smoking and remind me of why I have.

I get that this app seems to be for US residents but, there is no way of adjusting the actual price of cigarettes. I doubt the cost of cigarettes is the same in every state and here in Canada it is about $14-$18 a pack. In conclusion, I am not being given my actual savings. Unless there is a way to adjust it and I can’t find it in the settings. Otherwise, I think it is a great app.

So far, still smoke free. Keeps you distracted until the urges go away. Keeping your hands busy was a good tool as well.

Fix the following: Allow people to edit their quit date. Mine somehow got changed to a month after I quit with no way to correct it. Totally useless app to me now. The countdown starts with when you got the app, NOT your quit date. People want to see quit day totals. Allow users to set the price of cigarettes/vapes. The money saved is based on laughably ancient prices. Get rid of the check in tally. It’s not explained and it doesn’t ever change from 0. Make it more dynamic. Mine opens to the same quote every day and I have to scroll to find anything different. Have the app automatically open to progress, not quotes. Provide a way to delete an account. I deleted the app and reloaded it and it had saved my inaccurate information. Go look at other quit apps for inspiration.

I would love this app if it would open to the progress page 1st. Also, some of us smoked a lot more, so the money saved is not reflective of that. Can you add something to maybe update smoking amount so it calculates based on the individual? Finally, can’t see to figure out what the “check in”is tracking? I have checking this app daily and it never updates.

The app is very helpful. It feels like I have my own personal advocate who encourages me and who doesn’t get on my back if I occasionally slip

They should make it so it can remind you that you are trying to quit.
