Frequently asked questions

Is there a truly free quit smoking app?

Yes. Blou, Smoke Free, and QuitNow! all offer free tiers that cover day counter, cravings, and savings. Paid tiers add extras — but quitting does not require a paid app.

Do quit smoking apps actually work?

Research suggests app-based support modestly improves quit rates versus willpower alone, especially when combined with NRT or medication. Apps are not a substitute for quit medication — they are a way to make your plan visible and sticky.

Which quit smoking app is best for iPhone?

For visual daily progress, Blou. For gamified missions, Smoke Free. For community, QuitNow!. All three are on the App Store and have free tiers.

Is there a quit smoking app on Android?

Smoke Free and QuitNow! support Android today. Blou is iOS-only and maintains an Android waitlist on the homepage.
