Very useful app for keeping me off my phone when I'm working from home with a fun gimmick of growing trees, earning coins and then using those to buy customisations is good. 4 stars because the notifications have not worked for a while now, I have set the app to automatically start at 8am and it hasn't started nor notified me for a long time. I have to manually go into the app and start the timer.

Edit - pleased to say that the app has recently been working perfectly on all my devices, kudos! Love this app, really helps me to focus in the evenings when I need to get a great deal done. The simple threat of killing the tree when you try to navigate away from Forest is enough to stop me from getting distracted - a marvellous idea! I find the records to be helpful also, and it's always pleasant to see an orchard grow over the course of a day's work.

Edit: The new update is better since my app no longer lags but I am still getting the no connection popups despite being connected :(( Original review: I love this app but since the most recent update it has been so laggy. It takes ages to load the forest challenge section or the tree selection that it has just become so frustrating to use. I also keep getting no connection popups even though I'm connected to the Internet. Honestly, just been a really frustrating experience...
