- You’re on iPhone and want a clean, visual way to see your recovery.
- You want SOS craving help that is there the second a craving hits.
- You’re motivated by seeing your own progress: a photo timeline, lung checks, and every milestone on one visual timeline (pair it with our money saved calculator).
- You’re fine with a subscription once the free trial ends; nothing in Blou works without one.

- You need Android support today.
- You like missions and gamified tasks.
- You prefer a dense dashboard with many options (even if it’s less “minimal”).

Frequently asked questions
Is Blou better than Smoke Free?
It depends on how you quit. Blou is an iPhone-only subscription app (with a free trial) that shows your own recovery: a photo timeline, lung checks, SOS craving help, and every milestone on one visual timeline. Smoke Free is widely used, supports Android, and has mission-style gamification and NRT tracking for some users.
Which one is best if I’m on Android?
If you need Android support today, Smoke Free is a safer pick. Blou is iPhone-only for now, with no Android version yet.
Which one is best for cravings?
The best app for cravings is the one you can use fast. Look for a 1‑tap tool and a simple replacement action you can do in under 3 minutes.
Do I need a quit app if I’m using nicotine patches or gum?
Often yes—NRT reduces withdrawal, and an app helps you handle cues and stay consistent. See quit smoking with nicotine patch or quit smoking with nicotine gum.
