Simply love it. I have been using it for years, and it's the perfect small motivation to work, study, or anything that requires focus. The timezone isn't synchronized with my region, even though I have set it up many times already. Which means the day always ends at 5pm and most of the time I'm not done with work and it messes up the focus challenge of the next day. Otherwise, the app would be just perfect.

I have been using this app for a long time and it has always helped me to stay focused during exam periods. Somehow, this app has the monopoly power to keep me from my phone for longer periods of time and focus on work. So I was incredibly sad to see that now the free version is almost nothing anymore. For all really helpful things (long timers and nice plants) you need to upgrade and pay.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. As independent developers, we work hard for the app’s development and greatly rely on the support of our valued users. If you’re interested in accessing more features in Forest, please consider supporting us by unlocking the Pro version which is currently a one-time purchase that comes with all existing features.

This app has definitely helped me alot with my bad Facebook habits, one thing that's pretty sucky is that everything in the store is the same price. Trees are expensive and the bushes should then be at least half their price but aren't (since they give so few coins) and the music is all expensive too. Besides that the timer doesn't work at all when not in the forest app itself. A good thing though is that when you open a non white listed app it will warn you before killing off the plant.
