Been using this for years! Love the simpleness and the alone time with it. I don't have intention join friends or groups. However, there are some things I hope it can improve: - Another way to earn crystals plz Mine still stays at 30 since the beginning. - Birthday events were too short to catch the prizes. When I clicked on the link, it was no longer available. The US timeline was inconvenient for me. - more new trees and sounds. Seems like the developers have been slow down recently.

I bought the premium version because I love the idea of this app, but I keep getting a bug when trying to double my coins. also, the UX needs a lot of work. I have a lot of trees, and I don't know what they are unless I go back to the store. I also wish you could use this app when growing trees. And why can't we move trees around? That would double the fun. I also wish we could more easily see different tree stages. I could say more, but I'm near my character limit.

I really enjoy the app, but I miss a lot some type of 5-10-15mins breaks while planting a 120min tree. Whatever pomodoro system that allows you some resting would be nice, since such a long time without breaks it's proven to be inefficient and counter productive, now, if you want the tree in it's full form, you need to do the full 120mins. EDIT: I didn't mind paying the Pro, and won't mind making a donation, but not another subscription plan please. Not everything has to be a subscription :(
