About this app

Pelago provides virtual care for people who want to rethink their habits with alcohol, tobacco and nicotine, opioids, cannabis, or stimulants.

Pelago helps members work toward goals such as:
‣ Rethinking alcohol use (drinking less, drinking more mindfully, or stopping)
‣ Quitting or reducing tobacco and nicotine use (cigarettes, vaping, smokeless tobacco, cigars, etc.)
‣ Managing or stopping opioid use
‣ Making changes to cannabis or stimulant use
‣ Understanding your patterns and how substance use affects your health

Through the Pelago app, you can:
‣ Meet your care team: a dedicated care specialist for one-on-one video calls, plus a prescriber when medication is part of your plan
‣ Message your care team any time, and book or reschedule calls in the app
‣ Talk with Sona, your AI support, by voice or text, 24/7, between calls
‣ Make progress toward your goals in guided conversations with Sona, designed by Pelago’s clinicians on evidence-based approaches
‣ Track each day in under a minute, set a weekly plan, and look back on it in a weekly recap
‣ Earn rewards for tracking and attending care calls, and redeem them for gift cards or gift items (where included in your plan)
‣ Manage medication and nicotine replacement, such as patches and gum, with your care team (if applicable)

How to get started
If Pelago is included in your benefits, you can activate your membership today. Download the Pelago app to check your eligibility and sign up in about two minutes.

Already signed up online? If you registered through your employer or health plan’s Pelago link, download the app and log in to get started.

Once you’re in, answer a few quick questions to personalize your program, then have your first conversation with Sona and meet your care team at your own pace.

How does Pelago work?
Pelago gives you the tools to rethink your habits in a way that works for you, whether you want to stop, cut back, or simply understand your patterns.

When you join, you’re matched with a care specialist who builds your plan with you on your first call. Day to day, you track in the app, follow a weekly plan, and talk with Sona whenever you need to. Your care team sees how things are going and adjusts with you. When it helps, medication is part of your plan, prescribed by a clinician on your care team.

Worst app ever!! They have my card details but I cant access my account info to cancel my trail - its basically going to be a surprise for me if they decide to take my money or not after the 7 days!. No confirmation emails of any description after you create an account and hand over your payment details. I have been into the app once and not been able to gain access since, despite following instructions and changing my password 3 times! Feels like a scam - be warned!

Hi James, I'm so sorry you've been having trouble with the app. Subscriptions are handled by google play, and therefore to cancel you go into the Play Store, go to subscriptions and tap "Cancel Subscription". If you have any trouble with this then contact us at support@quitgenius.com and we'll be happy to walk you through everything!

I have been using the app for 3 weeks and have semi enjoyed using it. I like the quiz about facts to do with quitting. But after this there wasn't much else for me to do unless I paid a subscription fee which seems silly. Great I have quit smoking so am saving money, shown by the app (great that it keeps tabs on this kind of info) but now I have to pay for better features so am no longer saving as much money. I know it is only 2.99 per month but I think it should be a 1 off payment not monthly.

Was super sceptical and protective of my smoking habit and scared about challenging it. However, just a few days with quit genius was enough to change my mentality. Now 8 days smoke free and identify as non-smoker. It has even made me significantly cut down on alcohol and tv because I recognise when I'm engaging in automatic rather than thoughtful behaviour. Couldn't recommend more.
