Great app. The forum is very helpful however, lost 1 star because forum issues, such as messages not appearing at all or disappearing is VERY frustrating, especially as the target audience are all trying to quit smoking and looking for supprt! Please fix!

Most people who quit smoking cut back first. It's a shame the app doesn't support this. Massive fail.

You need to be able to add in times you have quit before so you can compare current progress before you had the app eg i got the app this year last year i quit for 8 months and started again the app doesnt know this and you cant add it in

Why does the Android version only count up to 999 days????? I haven't smoked for well over 1200 days, which the iOS version displays just fine. The fact that the Android app caps at 999 makes it unusable. Fix for 5 stars. It's a shame that the developers don't want to fix such an oversight.

Stops asking if your smoke free after a certain amount time. Same with giving you update on the progress of your health apart from sperm count etc. Community board does not update quick enough. Needs more distracting games as well. Could be a brillant app with some more detail added to it.

Glorified date counter. Latest update wants access to your phone number and numbers of people who call you. A bit strange for a government app to have access to that kind of info.

Not bad from the government. They've obviously done research on what helps smokers looking at their tips which means they're stance hopefully shifted from "smokers are bad" to "smokers need help and positive reinforcement to quit instead of shame." UI is nice. Needs a smoke counter to help reduce smoking. Also vaping is a good alternative.
