Plant a seed in Forest when you need to put down your phone and stay focused to get your to do list done.

As you stay focused, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app, your tree will wither.

The sense of achievement while seeing a flourishing forest with each tree representing your dedication motivates you to reduce procrastination, and helps you build a good habit of time management!

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.

I bought the paid version of the app years ago. suddenly it's showing ads when I open it, and going into a weird meditation mode without me selecting it. both things are very distracting and undermine the usefulness of the app, which I have been using daily up til now. I want a phone lock/app blocker, and this one does that well. i don't want or need this app to coach me through breathing exercises. edit: I do not want or need Pro features and the ads for it are distracting and irritating.
