Status as of October 30, 2026: QUITTR's listings no longer load on the App Store (we checked the US and seven other storefronts) or on Google Play. A search of the US App Store didn't turn up a replacement listing. The quittrapp.com website is still online and still links to the store pages.
What we don't know: why it happened, or whether it's permanent. We found no statement from QUITTR and no press coverage of the removal, so treat any confident explanation you read with caution. An app can leave the stores because its developer withdrew it, because a store removed it, or for a temporary reason.
Whatever the reason, there are a few things worth doing now. (We make Pledgely, a competing app, so check the official links below for yourself.)
Step 1: Check whether you're still being billed
Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription, so check even if you stopped using QUITTR long ago.
On iPhone: Open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, select QUITTR, and tap Cancel Subscription. If there's no cancel button or you see an expiration message in red, it's already cancelled. If QUITTR isn't listed, search your email for "receipt from Apple" to confirm which Apple Account paid. You can also manage subscriptions on Apple's website. Apple's cancellation instructions cover the details.
On Android: Open subscriptions in Google Play, select QUITTR, tap Cancel subscription, and follow the instructions. Google says that when an app is removed from Google Play, "your future subscription will be canceled," but look anyway to confirm it's gone.
If you paid another way: If you can't find a receipt from Apple or Google, you may have paid QUITTR directly. Contact QUITTR support and check your card statement.
We couldn't find an Apple rule that says what happens to existing subscribers when a whole app leaves the App Store, so don't assume renewals have stopped. Check for yourself.
Step 2: Ask for a refund if you're owed one
Neither store promises a refund just because an app left the store, and Google says past subscription payments generally can't be refunded, with some exceptions. It's still reasonable to ask if you were recently charged or paid for time you can't use.
On Apple: Sign in at reportaproblem.apple.com, choose I'd like to, then Request a refund. Pick your reason, select the subscription, and submit. Apple says to expect an update in 24 to 48 hours.
On Google Play: Go to play.google.com, click your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Budget & order history. Find the order, click Report a problem, and note that you'd like a refund. Google's refund rules allow a request through this route within 48 hours of purchase. After that, it directs you to the developer.
Include your receipt and explain plainly what you can no longer use.
Step 3: Deal with your account data
In March 2026, 404 Media reported that a misconfigured database exposed sensitive information about hundreds of thousands of QUITTR users. It also reported that people had warned the company for months before the issue was fixed. We have no evidence linking that to the store removal.
If you had an account:
- Look for a delete option first. If the app still opens, check its settings for account deletion before you remove it from your phone.
- Send a deletion request. If there's no option, write to QUITTR support and keep a copy. Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you a right to have your data deleted.
- Change reused passwords. If you used the same password elsewhere, change it there.
- Be wary of contact about QUITTR. Be careful with unexpected emails or messages that mention your use of the app, especially ones offering refunds or asking for money. Don't click through; go directly to Apple, Google, or QUITTR's own site.
Step 4: Save your progress and check your blocking
Save your streak. If the app still opens, screenshot your streak and any notes you care about. A streak is a record of real work, and you may not be able to get back to it. Don't count on another app importing it; you can simply start counting from your real date somewhere new.
Test your blocker. An app that's off the store stops getting updates through it, and a blocker depending on servers or a subscription could stop working without warning. Don't assume you're still protected. If you've been relying on QUITTR's blocker, test it, and set up a replacement this week rather than the night you need it.
What to use instead
It depends on what you used QUITTR for:
- The program and streaks: Brainbuddy is the closest match. Unchaind and Overcomer offer a faith-based version.
- Blocking that holds at 2am: Pledgely blocks porn system-wide on iPhone and Android, and turning it off charges a daily pledge you set from $1 to $100. Keep it on and every hold is released. Nothing you browse is logged.
- Another person: Covenant Eyes or Ever Accountable send reports to an ally you choose.
If losing the app feels like losing your footing, that's normal, and it doesn't erase your progress. The work was yours, not the app's. Pick a replacement while you're calm, and if you're struggling more than an app can help with, these are the treatment options.
Put real stakes behind quitting
Pledgely blocks porn across your whole phone and charges your own pledge only if you turn the blocker off. Stay clean, pay nothing.
