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.

My favourite species were taken away and made available only for pro. I used different species (especially my favourite ginkgo and blossom tree) for certain activities and I could see in my forest how I was managing my activities. The change made me very upset, because it's not a right thing to do, to take away something that was earlier available for everyone. Perhaps it was done to encourage to buy the pro version, but it made me feel that you can't take for granted what you buy in this app.

Hello, we have made changes to the relevant mechanism in order to prevent pirated software. Some tree species will be classified as professional tree species and cannot be planted. We understand that this will cause inconvenience, but in order to provide better services and improve operations, we have to take this measure. Sorry for the trouble.

An excellent app for everyone who struggles focusing on anything. Planting trees and preventing them from dying, then having a whole, beautiful forest is motivating. There's a global ranking refreshing each week, so you can compete with other players. You may even plant with your friends if you want. There are multiple tree species, updated quite often which makes the game just more exciting. I found paying for the premium version worth it.
