SmartQuit is an App that Helps Smokers Quit

photo smartquit-is-an-app-that-helps-smokers-quit.pngStatistics state that approximately twenty percent of Americans smoke, and the most effective smoking-cessation programs only work for ten to fifteen percent of those who try them.  Even rising tobacco taxes, the fact that movies and television no longer glorify smoking, and numerous awareness campaigns teaching people about the dangers of smoking, the numbers remain relatively unchanged.  SmartQuit is an app designed to more effectively aid people who want to quit smoking.  It takes an idea many believe is far-fetched and even naïve but has shown promising results.  Rather than using nicotine or other chemicals or resorting to such things as acupuncture or hypnosis, the app uses behavioral change to lasting effect.

Use WhereNotes for Quick, Easy Note-Taking

photo use-wherenotes-for-quick-easy-note-taking.jpgMany people use their mobile devices to take photos in order to remember specific products, places, and more.  Notepads on tablets or note-taking apps on smartphones are more time-consuming, and a photo is much quicker and simpler.  Unfortunately, when returning to a location, they can find themselves scrolling through hundreds of photos in their photo gallery in order to find the one they want.   WhereNotes exists to make it easy for users to remember important photos, text, and audio, then associate those items with a specific location.  It is an app for iOS that also works on the Apple Watch, so notes are quickly accessible.  It makes remembering something and recalling it when you return easy, and its developers claim that it is like having your own private notebook at each place you visit.
