This app has been amazing at keeping me off my phone by not only blocking all the apps I deem to be distracting, but also having so many cute trees to choose from. However, as of late, all it takes for Forest to stop showing on top of my distracting apps is for me to swipe slightly left from the bottom of my phone. I don't know if this is due to the latest Android update or if this is a bug from the app, but it's genuinely upsetting how easy it is now to access distracting apps. Please fix soon!

I have used Forest for a while but had to delete it simply because one crucial feature doesn't work: notifications. I start a timer to focus, but then the timer gets stuck and doesn't notify me that the session completed. This happens around 50% of the time. I tried all the fixes for Samsung phones from Forest's own website, but still I don't get notified. To my understanding, the fault is on Samsung and how it makes apps doze off, but that doesn't change that the app doesn't function properly.

Hello, sorry to hear about this. Apps cannot function when closed. Please make sure to keep Forest app running in the device background so that it can work properly. More info regarding notification setup can be accessed in the article below. Thank you! https://faq.seekrtech.com/Forest/articles/106

I've been using Forest on and off for years and it's wonderful at its job. I often struggle with focusing on tasks and it's helped immensely with discipline. Something I wish was a feature is combining the allow list with the tags, or having an option to pick the allow list when starting a session. I have different allow lists for different tasks and often forget to switch and need to cancel my timer midway through. I do love this app and will continue using for years :)
