I really love this app and have used it for many years now with well over 1500 trees planted! It's awesome for resisting going on your phone while studying, socialising or just needing some screen-free time. You can choose from a lot of pretty plants, set allow lists (incase you have some apps you still need to use during focus time) and complete little daily tasks, which keeps the app fun for a very long time :) The support-team also listens to suggestions, which is commendable! :)

Thank you for being such a dedicated Forest user with 1500+ trees! The break feature is completely optional - you can continue using Forest exactly as before without enabling breaks. Your tree will still wilt if you leave the app during focus sessions, maintaining that motivation you value. We appreciate your feedback!

I was looking forward to using this app in uni like I did in high-school. I return to find out that there's only subscription methods if I want the premium version. This used to be a simple app and you could pay once for cool extra features that weren't needed but optional, now its so overwhelming and has so much useless stuff. Why couldn't this stay a normal focus app?? it's basically useless now because of how ironically distracting everything in it is.

We hear you and truly appreciate your long-term support. We understand this change is frustrating, and we know returning to find a subscription model isn't what you expected. Your feedback about keeping things simple really matters to us. Please reach out to support@seekrtech.com if we can help. Forest Team

Useful, helped me get trough my finals, can't complain at all. Just one little thing, in the free version, you can buy different trees for 300 points, that's great but everytime I had a very productive time and managed to be focused up to 90-120 min, I can't double my reward as always, it just says 'Error'. That's a bit annoying because in this case it takes longer to get 300 points. But overall great app, I recommend it!
