Latest reviews of UCSF/SFGH Stop Smoking app for iPhone and iPad
The team at UCSF is well-known for their years of experience in conducting smoking cessation trials. They have taken their excellent program and made an easy-to-use, straightforward app for those who wish to quit smoking. Great job!
A great app for smokers who are trying to quit and willing to put in the effort to track their progress. Its easy to use and I love how it tracks cigarettes and mood, summarizing it in a graph for me to see the progress. Thank you, San Francisco General Hospital!
Quit or cut down on your smoking by tracking your mood, activities, and cigarettes.
Nice app to use in addition to others. Wish it had more content. Consistently crashes. Other than that its something to do other than smoke and im interested to see the final product (i.e. If my mood improves after Ive been a quitter for a few months.)
App is completely useless now. It does not save data and every time i press progress the app quits. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling to no avail. Im using iphone 4s and latest ios7. Please help.
