  • Love this app

    Genuinely one of the best apps to help me focus and is the sole reason why I did so well on my end of year exams. Also really good when you want to be social in large groups without the distraction of your phone with the friend link up feature. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone
  • Changed the Revision Game!

    Although I’m typically pretty motivated, sometimes I’d only half put effort into my revision and use Instagram and snapchat whilst “revising”..... this was not revision!!! After downloading forest, I’m revising more efficiently and spending longer revising because I love seeing my little forest grow! I compete with my friends and I like collecting the different tree types, even at a level it makes my revision a little bit more fun. There’s just something so rewarding about growing a tree, I guess it lets you see your efforts straight away! I know it costs money but it has totally transformed my revision and mindset about social media - now when I’m relaxing and chilling out I actually feel relaxed because I know I’ve accomplished something worthwhile. It also makes me feel guilty about not revising which encourages me to to revisse so it a win win!!! Couldn’t recommend any more!! Absolutely love it :)

  • Growing animated forests for my Masters studying forests :)

    Really love forest and totally recommend it! Make sure to check in ur achievements for more coin! :D I didn’t do this for ages and was pleasantly surprised.

    Only downside is the price will go up and up every tree/shrub etc that you buy.. really think it’s enough incentive just to try get more trees and doesn’t need to go up in price every time. Other than that it’s great..Also I love the funky lil mushrooms and things!

  • definitely worth the money!! amazing!

    i love love love this app! i, like many others, suffer from procrastinating when im supposed to be doing work. although it costs like $2, it is definitely worth the money. not only does it help u to stay off ur phone when working, it also helps u focus with relaxing sounds like rain. there is in-app money that u earn by growing trees. with the money u can buy new trees and new sounds. u can also track your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly progress as well! what i think is one of the best parts of this app is that once u get a certain amount of coins, u can plant a REAL tree!! not only is it great for focusing on work, its helping the environment. all around, amazing app!! well done! 👏👏💗💗

  • Amazing App, I Highly Recommend It

    I have been slacking off and pushing off a lot of responsibilities lately and recently I heard a student in one of my classes mention this app and how you can grow little trees and a forest and I thought that was amazing, the second I got home I checked out the app and decided to buy it, one of the best $2 I have ever spent, I’m staying way more productive lately and I love seeing the little trees get planted, it has great graphics and design and is really simple to use. When I saw there was also an option in the app to plant real trees to help the environment I thought that was absolutely amazing and made me feel really happy for getting the app and supporting the developers. I have also just recently purchased the other app by the same developers called SleepTown and it is also amazing, it has been helping me have better sleeping habits and I have been way more productive and active during the day and just feel over all happier and healthier and feel like I’m getting my life back on track. I would recommend both of these apps to everyone, I have been telling my family and friends about it a lot and how it’s helped me and they love it too. Over all 10/10 great apps, I hope to see more from the developers in the future and love what they have done to help others 😎👍 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌱🎋🎄🍀 😴👍🌖🏠🏡🏘🏰🏕🏛🏫🏤

  • Brilliant

    I’ve used Forest for over three years now and I’ve loved it! I bought it in my first year of uni and it’s really helped me structure my day and actually take the time to focus on my tasks almost every single day. It gives you so much data and is definitely great value for money. I love the “plant a tree in real life” feature but my only issue is that for people who use it a lot it’s very easy to max out how many trees you can plant in real life and also to buy all of the trees, bushes and sounds in the store with your coins. I’m at a point now where I’m just accumulating coins and not having anything to do with them and it diminishes the feeling of reward slightly. I think it would be great if there could be another way to spend coins to add to the feeling of reward. Overall though I love this app and I would definitely recommend it to students and also just people who want to focus their time and spend time away from their phones.

  • Very useful, easy to use and cute!

    I’ve only been using this app a few days and it has helped me massively already. The app is super easy to use, with a very simple menu and everything is clearly labelled. I particularly love the feature that shows all the trees you’ve grown for the day, month or even year as a ‘forest’ with various stats and information about how productive you’ve been. I also really like the fact that there are lots of (very cute) different types of tree and that they can be obtained through regular use of the app rather than with in-app purchases like other apps do. You can also listen to music with the app open as long as you don’t switch apps to switch songs. The only thing that would make me love this app even more is if there were options for slightly longer and shorter growing times. Overall would highly recommend!

  • Where did my coins go???

    I was 1 coin away from having 900 coins, enough to buy a new tree and I was very excited. I planted a bush for 10 minutes and now I’m at 867?? You can only imagine my disappointment. Is it charging me to plant trees? If so, then it’s a dumb feature and just makes me want to stop using the app. If it was a bug on your part, then I want my coins back 😡 I worked hard for those. They’re not easy to accumulate.

    But overall, I’m giving this app 4 stars (5 if I get my coins back). When I was referred by a friend I thought it was silly but it’s literally the only thing that keeps from using my phone when studying. You’d think planting fake trees (you can also save up to plant a real tree) wouldn’t be motivation enough but it is!!! If you convince your friends to buy this app, you can create a room and study together and hold each other accountable! My friends and I compare the trees we have and are always eager to expand our forest. Great app! Just give me coins back 😫.

    A suggestion: bushes SHOULD NOT cost the same as trees. That’s ridiculous, especially when the price increases with every buy.

  • Honestly a game-changer

    Don’t get me wrong, my phone is a useful tool, and I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m addicted to it. However, it’s also a super easy way to waste time you don’t even realize you could be using on other things. I use Forest mostly in small increments, and it keeps me from picking up my phone whenever I have a few free minutes and get bored. Since I don’t actually need or want to be on my phone, the small motivation of growing little bushes and trees is enough for me to direct my attention elsewhere- and it turns out that those few free minutes throughout the day can translate into a lot of extra productivity!

    Otherwise: initial download price might seem a bit high, but considering that they plant real trees if you make enough coins to buy the option, the $2 is warranted. Coin prices in the app are average, but payment per tree during the week is okay and you can make enough yourself with a little effort (I personally think you should make a little more per tree than they offer, but it’s not a bad amount either). The interface is simple and intuitive, the art is charming and stylistically uniform, and my favorite part- the white noise options- are incredibly helpful for studying and neither overly expensive or so complicated that they become distracting.

    All in all, great app that I use frequently. $2 has never bought me so much extra productivity.

  • This app is a GODSEND

    I have just the absolute worst habit of procrastination, and I have no idea what else to do to help me stop being such a sleaze-bag and stop sleazing around and shirking my homework and studying. I needed something to take my Sleaze level way down from Super Saiyan Sleaze God to, like, just a regular Super Saiyan Sleaze.

    One day, during my procrastination addiction, I was looking though some apps and I saw it: Forest-Stay Focused. I immediately felt drawn. “I’ll just keep procrastinating and sleazing it up while I check out this app,” I thought. Unbeknownst to my Sleazy Habits, this app would soon become the death them. I use it all the time and have gone from not studying or doing homework at all, to working on homework and studying for over 3 solid hours a day (and growing! As is my forest!). This app is awesome, and I can actually feel my Super Saiyan Sleaze Power leave me. Best $2 I ever spent.

    If you think about it, I’m only giving up like, a snickers bar and like, one or two 4-packs of Wrigley’s gum. Also, I can’t wait to unlock mushrooms and start sleazing it up with them.
