★★★★★ "It does not track the cigarettes you smoked or keep a log of when you did it. It allows you to reset the timer each time you smoke, but it doesn't track the history. Pretty useless without that." - Asim Alam

Was a good app when I first used it, but after starting smoking again years later I decided to use the same app to log my progress...almost EVERY SINGLE TIME I logged a cigarette I was forced to watch a damn advert (these weren't there before, the owner has monetised the app to the max!) It could be seen as an incentive to quit smoking so I don't have to see any more ads...but I could just quit logging instead, and quit trying to quit.
Be careful people, it's hard to uninstall this app once installed. It could be malware.
Revised, it WAS a great app until late July 2023 and it began with full screen ads after logging every darn smoke. It is so annoying that I've uninstalled it and revised my review. So sad you messed up a good thing. Oh my, I changed my 5 star to a 1 because of a horrible advertisement changed made by the developers and you accuse a customer of lying? I think I touched a nerve. Maybe you devs should revert to the bottom of the app ads only.
It does not track the cigarettes you smoked or keep a log of when you did it. It allows you to reset the timer each time you smoke, but it doesn't track the history. Pretty useless without that.
Thought it would be great, but alas! I was mistaken. App keeps shutting down everytime I change a setting. Any setting, doesn't matter which one...although it started with my attempt to change a setting in the "miscellaneous" category. I uninstalled & reinstalled 3 different times, but it made no difference. I was disappointed, as I really wanted this one to work. Uninstalled for the last time.
There are better free trackers... Paid for premium just for the widgit. Widgit doesnt update, notifications dont work and you still have to go all the way into the app to get any info on your progess.
Does not log number of cigarettes. It times the length of time you smoked but you must stare at the timer. If you minimized the app, the timer stops and you have to log the minutes manually. A tracker must track your progress based on how you reduced your smoking volume, not the length of time you smoked.
I have no issue paying for a decent app. The ads are not random, they're extreme (see the many other reviews). You do have a great app! I was just about to purchase when all the video ads showed up. Bullying people into purchasing your app is poor business practice. Every single time I touch anything in this app there's an ad. Omg enough already
this app was good before most of the helpful stuff became part of the 'pro' version
I liked the premise and all the different options but I feel like they could use a better UI/UX design. Very patchy and uneasy to work with and also the amount of ads was overwhelming and annoying. I opened the app, there was an ad bar on the bottom of my screen the whole time trying to grab my attention, then every two seconds another ad would take over the whole screen. It was such an unpleasant experience, I uninstalled the app shortly after.
so many ads. at a frustrating time...
If someone's wanting to quit cigarette he won't spare time to write his satisfaction, craving and details everytime.
I'll increase the star rating once I have the information I need to fully utilize the app. However, I do like the set up in general. My first time using something to track my smoking. I have a couple of big (to me) issues. THE HELP BUTTON DOESN'T WORK! I tap repeatedly & absolutely NOTHING happens. Anyone else having this issue? Also, I really need a "legend" or "key" so I know what everything means. How am I supposed to use the information if I don't understand what it's telling me?
Why did a day start at 11am? Every smoke before that is allocated to the previous day!
