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.

ok, so I've been using Forest for at least a year, if not longer. Would've absolutely given 5 stars and a glowing review up until a week or so ago, when they released the newest update to the app. Now, the app keeps crashing over and over and barely working. So, I did what is always recommended - uninstall and reinstall. NOW, I can't even log in and get all my stuff, despite having purchased the pro version ages ago. Not cool, guys.

Love the app, been using it for years for school and studying and other times I need to focus on a task. As someone with ADHD, it has helped immensely! I just wish the app didn't stop the timer randomly. I have it so the trees still grow when the app is closed, but I have had times I go to check on it and no longer growing. The worst is when it does it halfway through a 3 hour timer and I go to end it - expecting 4 trees - and then having to use coins to remove all the dead trees from it

Thank you so much — we're really glad Forest has been a helpful tool for your focus journey! 🌳 The timer stopping unexpectedly on Android is often caused by the system closing Forest in the background. Please check our Android permission settings (Menu → Settings → FAQ&Support) so we can help you configure your device to prevent this!
