The FAQ says "The Zero – Quit Smoking Tracker mobile app is only available for iOS which can be found in the App Store on your Apple device." But the Home Page the app is coming soon. I searched the App Store didn't find anything. On another completely unrelated note... what does "DR RECOMMENDED" really means? You find a doctor and ask them to recommend the product? I'm always intrigued by marketing jargon.

@tostartafire Hey Dan. It's a great question. The ideal way to quit smoking is a combination of treatment — a prescription, an NRT (nicotine replacement therapy), and behavior techniques. The "Dr Recommended" Kit is the kit that has the highest statistical chance of being effective in helping someone quit. For example, the ideal amount of gum is 9-12 pieces per day (it does vary per person) but this requires 2 (160 piece) boxes of gum. For certain individuals, they may not be able to afford the entire kit, or a prescription won't be safe and appropriate, so we made each component available individually (one is better than none). Hope this is helpful. Happy to expand if needed. Thanks again for the question.

@rob_schutz can you give a little more insight into how the app works and the behavioral technology used. Is it simply a tracker style app or is there more too it?
Rob Schutz
@mattmayberry There will be multiple releases of the app with the first version hitting the app store in the next week or so. Both single-player mode for tracking and a much larger social component that lets you stay accountable with friends (or strangers).
