It's great. The only thing is if it had a "I just smoked button" in the best times section, not on the main (home) page because it might be tempting to give in and smoke. But definitely if you put it in the section where the trophies are, it'd be a good way to motivate to do better next time because you can see how well you've done in the past. And it would be more intuitive than having to go into profile settings and starting your quit date/time over again.

Just starting out on my quit journey - it is inevitable that I will slip up at some point. How can this be recorded in the app? I have found no way to update ACTUAL progress - just a clock the counts from the time yoy select 'Quit Now'. Also, the 'distract me' function consistently crashes the app on the second go, every time. Very disappointing app especially given it's government sponsorship.

This app used to be great when I quit a year or so ago. Now it's full of bugs and crashes constantly. update: seriously guys you need to fix this. when a smoker comes to this app looking for support for not smoking and the app doesn't work, it's more of a hindrance than a help. some examples I've noticed: "distract me" only works twice then crashes the app (used to have games? but no more); the community forum scrolling is all wonky; the app only opens for me every second attempt; etc etc

What's new

You can now directly choose the game you want to play to distract yourself.

We have also fixed some issues where the text size was too small in certain places and have enhanced the app performance for a smoother journey.

Happy quitting!
