When you’re trying to quit smoking, it’s important to remember that everyone is completely different; what works for some people may not work for you.

However, it’s always worth trying different things to help kick the habit and money is a proven motivational factor when it comes to quitting.

Plus, there’s nothing like teaming up with friends and challenging each other.

Project Pink Lung was specifically designed to be an effective tool for smokers who want to try a new way of quitting.

Featuring things like financial challenges and visual motivators, this app is perfect for anyone who is actively trying to quit or has already quit and wants to track progress.

Concept and Functionality:

No matter where you turn, there are as many commercials for products to help you quit smoking as there are for cigarettes themselves. Project Pink Lung, by Quantum Solutions Inc., is a free and portable way to put your money where your smokes are. This is accomplished by connecting the app to Facebook and getting a few of your friends to join the app.

Together you can pledge money to a challenge and the winner of the challenge gets their money back, as well as other winnings from the pot. The one thing to keep in mind is that this is based on the honor system; there’s no way to actively track and monitor your friends to make sure they’re not smoking.

Project Pink Lung is more than a social challenge app. It also serves as a way to show you just how much money you’ve saved by not smoking.

If you’re craving a cigarette, you can choose to be scared by seeing somewhat gruesome pictures of the effects smoking has on your body. If you don’t want to go that route, you can be distracted with task ideas that will help you take your mind off your craving.

Features:

One thing I noticed is you have to have Facebook in order to take advantage of Project Pink Lung. This is somewhat unfortunate because I think the app still serves an incredibly useful purpose even if you decide not to take advantage of the challenge feature.

While it may be true that connecting your Facebook account to the app helps you reach your goal of quitting, in our view it should be an option.

Along with being able to participate in financial challenges and distractions, Project Pink Lung allows you to record the times you’ve slipped up and smoked. Instead of ridiculing you for doing so, the app gently asks how many cigarettes you’ve had and resets your “last smoked” data.

Value:

Project Pink Lung is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. There are no ads or in-app purchases to worry about, either.

Overall, Project Pink Lung is an incredibly useful app for anyone who is either in the process of quitting smoking or has already quit and wants to keep track of their progress.

Pledging money is fun and is proven to be a great motivational factor, but the other tools in Project Pink Lung help just as much.

Project Pink Lung – Quit Smoking requires iOS 9.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

The original game first launched back in 2013, and now there’s a brand new sequel. Kami 2 doesn’t go about reinventing the wheel and instead focuses on delivering more of the great puzzle mechanic. With that said, there are a couple of changes beginning with a new triangular tile layout which allows for more complex challenges in the placement of the alternating colored regions. The sequel also introduces a level editor, which allows you to create levels as well as access tons of user generated levels including daily puzzles.

Kami 2 is the sequel to the wildly popular original by the same name. It delivers a zen like setting, which is juxtaposed against challenging, and sometime frustrating puzzles. It all comes down to figuring out the right order of operations to transform each color section one by one. The sequel also introduces a level editor that connects to user generated levels and daily challenges.

Kami 2 excels by continuing the style of the original allowing you to sit back and contemplate each puzzle. There's a great mix of Zen relaxation with perplexing brain teasers as you try to figure out the right sequence of color tapping. It all comes down to making larger and larger sections of the same color and trying to pick up as many smaller colored sections as possible with each tap. Like any puzzle, it's great to see the solution come together, but that's even truer in Kami as you get to witness each triangular tile flip to a new color that radiates outwards from where you tap. There are 100 precisely crafted levels to play through, and then you have a potentially near infinite number of levels to play with the user created content. Just the first batch of levels shows great creativity in the user-generated challenges, and it's thanks to the effortless level creator that lets you draw the colored sections you would like.

It would be nice to see a little more ingenuity in Kami 2, as it feels more like a level pack update than a true sequel. The challenge has definitely increased, but it's mostly the same game. The main problem with the sequel is the actual level structure. You unlock six levels at a time, but you can't unlock the next level pack, unless you solve all six previous puzzles. To make matters worse, you can only complete a level if you solve it in the set number of moves. You're restricted from making an extra move to simply solve a puzzle. There is a hint system, but it's tied to the free to play structure, so you can only get additional hints by buying them. The game would benefit from a video ad system to unlock hints. As it stands, if you can't figure out a level, and if you don't want to buy a hint, you literally can't progress through the game.

Kami 2 delivers a refined puzzle experience with a brilliant mechanic within a beautiful package making it well worth picking up.
