Customer Reviews

Appalling attitude. 
Who ever designed this has never been a smoker. I've had a look at the app and straight away it tells me how tough it is going to be and that I should warn others in advance? That is utter BS advice! It's all in the mind people. Also nicotine replacement is BS too. You don't need it and anyone who tells you any different doesn't have a clue what they are talking about. You guys at the NHS need to completely review your attitude if you want to help people give up. App deleted.
 
Terrible 
This is a terrible app, it does nothing, just has a timer and obvious quit benifits, there is no quit plan or anywhere to put your own incentives or motivations you can get everything in this app from a quit smoking pamphlet.
 
Rubbish 
If you quit more than a few years a go - selecting a date is a nightmare ends up going back in chunks of 4 years skipping your real quit date Only use if recently quit
 
Not bad but...... 
Should be able to alter the price of a packet of cigarettes - the app assumes a packet being £7.34 - living and working in London and previously smoking Marlboro lights - this figure is wrong by almost £2.00 a packet!!!
 
Not bad 
Would like the app to track more of the health benefits of not smoking than just track the money I've saved I never quit to save money I quit for my health
 
Money saved feature 
Wouldn't it make more sense to allow people to input the price of whatever it is they smoked? Or at least keep the app updated to reflect the annual tax hikes!
 
Great App to help you give up 
I was really surprised with this app. I used this in conjunction with seeing my pharmacist. This helped me with the useful facts and hints. Also I still check this to see how long it's been since I last smoked a cigarette.
 
Rubbish 
Does nothing, waste of space and time
 
Awesome 
NHS Smokefree gives you that distraction and motivation when you're craving! Helped me out a lot since i quit. Only thing i would say is PLEASE MAKE IT RETINA!! The graphics and buttons are pixelated!
 
Excellent 
Worked a treat 3 month and still going feels good to show of with this app to people who still smoke. Wish I have the £255 quid it says I've saved tho lol
 
Perfect! 
I couldn't have quit smoking without this app. It turned inaction (quitting) into action (regaining my health) and I haven't stopped recommending it since!
 
Pointless 
The only thing this app provides is a utility that tracks money saved. The real problem is that you cannot input the cost of whichever brand of cigarettes you buy, so it's very inaccurate, and completely useless if you smoke hand rolled. My Last Cigarette is a far better option.
 
This app will not help you quit... 
I found this app no help at all while I was quitting, specially when I would have needed it most. The only good thing about it, is now that I've quit, I can keep checking up on the money I've saved. Which is cool. But I felt that my reasons for quitting wasn't how much money I would save, but for health and family, and there isn't much at all in this app to remind you of the real reasons for stopping! Oh, and if you live in Scotland, I wouldn't expect much support at all. You can't even get a Quit Kit in this part of the world. Well, guess what NHS, I did it without your help. 25 days smoke free. If your looking for an app that will support you and spur you on, I recommend the LiveStrong app! Good luck!
 
Very good 
It has helped me, just wish I had the cash it says I've saved.
 
:) 
This application is great
 
Recent non smoker 
I've used this app throughout my 4 non smoking days. It's helped me & simple to use.
 
Stop smoking 
It's brilliant!
 
Helpful 
I did find this app helps as each time I nearly gave in to cravings I looked how long I had lasted and didn't Want to ruin it all. It's a shame h only get support for 30 days as the struggle goes on for much longer. Maybe the nhs could give a daily motivational message for the first year!
 
Arablee 
This app is amazing. I have tried to stop smoking plenty times before and with this app and nrt it is so much easier knowing how much money you are saving makes it better when you feel the urge to smoke and also the daily messages are great. Try it you have nothing to lose except the bad habit of smoking,
 
Swanson quit 
Great app allows you to see how much you save and how many days it's been since you kicked the filthy habit!
 
Really really helped 
This app has helped myself and a friend give up smoking; it's really good to see the tips etc but for us the days quit and cash saved is the real winner ... When you feel tempted and look at the app to see you've saved £1250 : well enough said ! We've been free of the weed for six months : no cravings anymore (for ages) but the app defiantly helped when it was tough ... I recommend.
 
It's good 
Should have a post progress to Facebook option
 
FAB APP 
Fantastic app! I have found this app quite motivational. It is a great motivational- visual aid. It informs you how much money you have saved to date: each day I place an equal amount of money into a 'piggy' box and will treat myself to teeth whitening at a later date. The app also gives you facts about smoking and how your body will be affected after giving up for 2/3 days/ weeks/months whatever.. I have used this app alongside the 'Nicorette' patches and have also started going short evening walks to help curb my cravings. GOOD LUCK :-)
 
This app is only useful to calculate the money saved but….. 
it works on the fact of a pack of cigs (20) costing 6.13. so for a lot of people this is under estimating the amount saved. in order to get the saving correct i have had to put it as me smoking 11 a day instead of 7-8
 
NHS Great 
Great motivational tool to keep track of how well your doing and saving. Would have been 5 stars if it had a share option for Facebook or Twitter. Even though Ive been stopped 6 mths now I still check it occasionally to see how much I've saved.
 
Good app to see how much you save 
Like the app, but would be good if you'd be able to change the cost of your particular brand and get a more accurate cost savings estimate. Currently I've calculated the equivalent number of cigarette/cost ratio to get an accurate figure... Otherwise good app.
 
Worth while 
Think this app is pretty good, the money counter and also total days that you have stopped give you a wee boost if you are struggling!
 
App 
This app is helpful for the first month as it gives encouragement everyday, however when that month is over there is no more encouragement just let's you know the amount of money saved and smoke free days.
 
Morale booster! 
Kept reminding me about how much is saved and how far I'd come, hooray!
 
Needs more for the quitter!!! 
I think putting a couple of games on app would be beneficial.
 
Change price of cigarettes 
Very good app, nice to see how much I'm saving in real time. However it would be much more useful to input the price of a pack of cigarettes. Going on what a previous reviewer has said I roughy worked out that I needed to add an extra 26% of the cigarettes I was smoking to get a rough idea of actual savings.
 
Needs help 
'see all other benefits' on opening page is a dead link. Would be handy if we could put in how much our cigarettes cost for more accurate readings, as they vary greatly over the country.
 
Love this app 
I've been smokefree for almost 8 months now! Couldn't have done it without this app
 
Ok, but many more helpful apps available. 
Yeah, ok- it tots up how much you've saved, and gives encouragement as you go... Until you reach day 30. Works, but there's much more inspiring quit smoking apps out there.
 
Just have some faith! You will get there 
Been smoke free for 342 days now after smoking more than 20 a day for 14 years and all down to this app + a little will power. I was lucky enough to do it without nicotine replacement, watching my ££ tote up. Give it a shot!
 
Could do with some improvements 
Eg the ability to alter pack price. I don't agree with the tips that suggest you use nicotine patches or suchlike either - it's like replacing crack with more crack. There are other apps out there that show you your health improvements literally by the hour, eg lung capacity 46% returned to normal and suchlike. They could do with downloading some competing apps and taking the best from them. Right now, I have three installed (none of them are perfect) and only use the NHS one as a 'when I quit' clock.
 
Needs more options 
The ability to change pack price needs to be an option! Can't remember when it only cost £6.13 for 20 cigs
 
No roll your own? 
Totally useless for a roll your own smoker...
 
Good app 
Like alot of others the app should let you put in the cost of a pack of cigs my biggest insentive to quit was cost and was hoping for an accurate calculation would be 5* otherwise
 
Allow users to adjust costs 
Decent app, but not being able to enter an accurate price for a pack of cigarettes is ridiculous. Seems to be working on pricing from 5 years ago. For many, saving money is a big incentive and it's so easy to get it right - really should be fixed.
 
Has really helped 
I started using the app and have now been smoke free for 21 days and I opened an isa account which each day I put what I have saved into and already have saved £147.00 The only thing which would be better is if you could put the actual cost of the type of cigarettes you used to smoke as I have saved more that what the app works it out to, which can vary quite a lot. ie benson silver £7.12 for 20 Would be 5 stars if they could change that.
 
Very good app 
For me watching the money saved grow everyday was an extra incentive to keep going. Is due an update I think because since the last update in Aug 2012 the cost of cigarettes has risen quite a lot meaning people would be saving more than the apps current calculations. Highly recommended though!!
 
Great except money saved not right 
This really needs updating with the true costs of cig's today or the option to put in how much your particular brand cost as I've had to adjust how many I used to smoke by an extra 5 to get to show the true money saved!
 
BRILLIANT APP 
This app really does help you quite, I had a few "moments" when I craved a cigarette I simply logged on to this app and read the "tips" and"facts" reminded me why i was quitting in the first place!!! DO IT NOW OR DO IT NEVER
 
Good app! 
Very helpful although updating prices or allowing user input would be beneficial. Would get five stars when this is available
 
Needs Tweeking 
This is an okay ap but it could be great! Developers please can we have: - ability to input the cost to reflect the genuine cost of our ciggies - keep the ability to enter the number smoked per day but include a counter that tells you how many ciggies you haven't smoked since you quit (Eg. A 20 a day smoker will have refrained from smoking 600 ciggies in just ONE month!!! That's amazing!) - more top tips and benefits - I also think a 'real life story' section would be good. Would be great to quickly access a few tales from non smokers and how they quit
 
Great app 
Need to update the price of cigarettes
 
Good app but needs 1 thing 
In the settings it should allow config of cost per cigarette, please can you sort in next release it's great to spur you on and show off! :-)
 
Boring 
Boring app, usual facts and not a lot of relevant up to date motivation. Willpower alone will help more. Nhs step it up a notch and put more oomph into it. :-)
 
Good, but needs an update 
Need to be able to change the pack price
 
Motivated me to quit 
Really motivating seeing how much I am saving, literally adding up by the hour! Loads of tips which help pass those long first few days of cravings. Been off the cigs for two months now and am sure this app has contributed. Hubby smokes roll ups so would be good if there was a way to select brand etc to get more accurate cost saving.
 
It's OK but out of date 
Works ok but prices are way out from today's rates. If NHS took smoking cessation as seriously as they talk about it this would be an up to date helpful app which sadly it's not. There a much better apps freely available.
 
£4263.02 saved and I still look 
Fantastic App! Deffo recommend as it is a great aide for quitting and for long term encouragement
 
Fab 
Helped me a lot.
 
Great app 
Really encouraging App, but since update it's jumped up £10 for saving money (not a true estimate)
 
Get a spell check 
Its a shame that even though I pointed this our BEFORE the latest update, there is still no such word as ‘welbeing’ This appears on the home splash screen of the app and you have just missed the opportunity to correct this with the latest update. The other main flaw is the ‘money saved’ figure. As the user cannot enter any ‘price per pack’ the only way to get this to correctly reflect any savings was to do ones own calculation and then cheat the nu,her smoked per day to give a more correct daily saving amount. On the app before the latest update I had to increase this to 50+ ciggies per day to get the figure more accurate for £8.53 a pack. We now have a budget looming, so doubtless this will need tweaking again. All that said, I smoked for 42 years until Feb last year and have not have one cig since. I am saving £480 a month which has filled up an ISA nicely.
 
Excellent motivation! 
Great app. Seeing how many days you've gone for and the amount of money you've saved is brilliant when you feel like caving in! I've gone 77 days and saved £570 so far! Must have app.
