Currently the monthly update is 40+ days late with no explanation/communication. ### 2/5 — Abandonado *2026-06-24* Um ótimo App para focar; bloqueia os apps e te força a utilizar apenas alguns. Uma pena que há uns 2 meses foi abandonado. Sem resposta de suporte e nem mudança das seeds. RIP ### 4/5 — Un énorme potentiel ! *2026-06-23* Il s’agit d’une super application, qui permet vraiment de rendre « addict » le fait de réaliser nos tâches. Les objectifs sont attrayants, et on a toujours envie de faire plus et de voir fleurir notre jardin ; cela rend compte par ailleurs du travail que l’on a accompli. Cependant, il est tout à fait dommage de ne pas pouvoir faire continuer tout seul les différents timers du pomodoro. Certaines personnes préfèrent en effet le faire manuellement, mais avoir le choix entre automatique et manuel ne serait pas de refus. De plus, dommage que l’intégration avec l’écosystème Apple ne soit pas plus renforcer. L’application a le potentiel de pouvoir être interconnecté entre les appareils. Je pourrais ajouter que les widgets de progression du temps dans le dynamic island et le centre de notifications pourraient grandement facilité notre usage de l’application. En somme, j’ai vraiment utiliser cette outil pour ma propre productivité, mais elle pourrait devenir plus efficiente et pratique dans le futur. À deux doigts de la perfection… dommage ! ### 5/5 — review *2026-06-22, version 0.3.138* genuinely the best app ever,i had so much trouble not getting distracted by my phone while studying for the most important exams of my life,it helped me focus and leave my phone and study for long hours without distractions would recommend to anyone , be consistent !! ### 2/5 — ... *2026-06-10, version 0.3.138* the app in itself is ok like it gets the job done it blocks all ur apps so u can't get distracted but it cuts your hours; there's been times i've done several more hours than the app has counted, which is annoying quite frankly ### 5/5 — Focus tree *2026-06-10, version 0.3.138* It’s a great app for kids and a great help to revise with ### 4/5 — Une idée d’amélioration *2026-06-06* J’aime beaucoup cette application, elle est vraiment très pratique et m’aide à me concentrer quand je dois réviser. Elle est très ludique et facile à prendre en main. J’aime beaucoup pouvoir personnaliser mon jardin et collectionner mes tuiles. Ça fait plus d’un an que je l’utilise et je n’en suis pas déçue ! Elle bloque quasiment toutes les applications, et en effet pour moi son point faible réside ici : elle ne bloque pas safari, ce qui me permet donc d’avoir accès a internet, et notamment Instagram, ce qui rend inutile l’application… une amélioration permettant de bloquer toutes les applications, y compris les applications du système, ce serait vraiment génial ! En tout cas merci aux développeurs pour cette application gratuite qui permet aux étudiants de mieux se concentrer 🤩 ### 5/5 — Just fantastic *2026-06-04, version 0.3.138* Just fantastic ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-06-02* melhor app de estudos! ### 5/5 — Focus tree review *2026-05-30, version 0.3.138* Absolutely best application for students. It was really helpful to me with staying on my lectures and improve my focus time. That’s my favorite app . Very helpful, fun and attractive. ### 5/5 — Beautiful app, I love. *2026-05-26, version 0.3.138* I like this app a lot, I have been struggling to stay off my phone and the feature locking apps off is very helpful. The game itself is aesthetic and pleasing as the feature like growing a garden, it motivates me to keep growing it and makes studying fun! It’s beautiful to customise and look at the garden as every customised feature represents study times. Mostly recommend since almost the whole GenZ struggle with being on their phones a lot. ### 4/5 — I like this app and is very useful *2026-05-23, version 0.3.138* I love this app but I would love if I could take pictures of homework so that it can help me on there and make flashcards with the picture that I gave them ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-05-21, version 0.3.138* Focus tree helped me really study, even if it’s early test prep or last minute cram-ins, I don’t have the upgraded version, but even the built in AI, and the flashcards along with all of their abilities, it’s amazing. If you’re a student like me, I highly recommend focus tree. ### 4/5 — Help *2026-05-20, version 0.3.138* Hey i used to enjoy the app but I can’t login by my number again after I look out please help I don’t know where to communicate with you guys. The discord link didn’t work. Please help ASAP. ### 5/5 — Glad to find out about this app *2026-05-13, version 0.3.138* One of the best study app’s I have ever used have never been more excited to study ### 4/5 — add these features *2026-05-10, version 0.3.138* three features to add: so you can sell tiles you don’t want, so you can move tiles that other people ahve added to your garden (otherwise if you change the layout you can’t edit theirs) and so you can trade tiles, either for other tiles or for coins like ebay ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This wasn’t worth it *2026-08-11, version 0.3.138* Don’t waste your time on this app all it does is take money from you for upgrades that don’t matter ### 1/5 — Things need to be improve: *2026-07-10, version 0.3.138* 1. FlashCard ( It is showing error) 2. Daily Task ( For more coins - or anything that helps us to more productive) 3. Improve Base Of Garden (Take Inspiration From “Clash Of Clan” or more recommended is “Hayday”) Anyway, thank you for this app, I appreciate and Im improving daily. I hope I get a notice by a app developer himself/herself. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2026-05-28, version 0.3.138* i click onto the app and it just freezes on the “focus tree study with freinds” screen ### 1/5 — Assinatura *2026-05-25* Cancelei minha assinatura ainda no período de teste que o app da e foi cobrado simplesmente o valor de 299,00 reais no meu cartão de crédito. Tentei diversas vezes falar com o suporte do app mas sem sucesso ### 1/5 — It asks for school and LOCATION? *2026-04-23, version 0.3.138* I don’t like this app very much it says schools near me EVEN tho I said don’t allow to location. I go to online school and I cannot find it? Online school people ALSO need focus too? Pls fix this ty ### 1/5 — Once amazing, ruined by greed *2026-03-23, version 0.3.138* This app helped me get good grades during my exam season, this app helped me and by friend group focus really hard. It once was amazing before it forced premium down the throats of its users. Goodbye focus tree, I remember the good times well. MY OLD REVIEW :( - My gf (never studied in her life has done 16 hours in 10 days, our whole friend group has a joint garden. The competitive aspect (leaderboards and such) really encourages you to push yourself against your friends. The whole garden-making aspect is really cool and looks great. Removing apps as well is a blessing for procrastinators. PLEASE keep this app the way it is! A premium mode that removes some features will RUIN this app. Thanks a bunch. ### 1/5 — Decrease in quality followed by asking for money *2026-03-13, version 0.3.137* You used to be able to allow yourself to use 10 apps while in focus mode. This was useful because I need access to quizlet, kahoot, my camera, photos, Spotify, and messages in case my mom texts me. Now you can only have 3, unless you pay them. They’ve also clearly been fooled by these conmen trying to convince companies that AI is needed in every little thing. It’s not. There is absolutely no reason why this app needs AI. It’s not a studying app. It’s a focus app. They think that because they offer AI they can start charging. It’s ridiculous. Deleting this trash app ### 1/5 — It used to be amazing now it’s really bad *2026-03-07, version 0.3.137* the app used to be amazing ! but ever since the paid features have been added it has degraded so much ! for example you can’t have a normal session without having to restrict all of your apps or giving you the option to only use 3 apps which is really frustrating i genuinely loved the app ! ### 1/5 — Misleading free trial *2026-03-05, version 0.3.137* Clearly stated try free trial for a week and be charged 9.99 after the trial ends but immediately the money was taken from my account? So this ‘free trial’ is clearly a scam. Disgusting app ### 1/5 — Focus Tree *2026-02-08, version 0.3.135* This app was so good but ai ruined it like it ruined everything else ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amo *2026-08-10* Perfeito ### 5/5 — Genuinely love this app! *2026-07-30, version 0.3.138* I used to hate studying but this app is amazing! It has this island that when you do studying for a streak you get rewards for that, like little blocks of land for your island to motivate you! This app really has motivated me so much to get great grades, and there’s actually no adds and it’s really just amazing! There’s different types of studying, like the stopwatch, where it times you studying or the pomodoro, which has breaks, and the ordinary timer to motivate you to keep going! It blocks apps for free and it helps to not mindlessly scroll for ages. This app has really helped for studying. Would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Nouvelles tuiles *2026-07-29* L’application est fantastique le seul point d’amélioration serait de proposer de nouvelles tuiles !! ### 5/5 — Abandoned *2026-07-21* A very very good app but unfortunately they abandoned it ### 5/5 — Genuinely love this app! *2026-07-18, version 0.3.138* I used to hate studying but this app is amazing!

Já desinstalei o ao umas 3 vezes e não deu certo, reiniciei o celular e tudo. Arrumem isso por favor ### 5/5 — Meu foco *2026-07-02* O app é maravilhoso para quem deseja ser melhor, eu duvidei por muito tempo, mas aí decidi ser melhor, tenho 12 anos, sempre me esforço o máximo e decidi baixar o app, sério ele me ajudou muito e foi exatamente útil ### 5/5 — How Amazing you are ❤️❤️ *2026-06-28, version 0.3.138* OMG OMG This app is amazing must GET IT I Recommend this app to anyone who doesn’t do homework Me personally I do my homework but yeah I wake up every day excited to do Focus Tree is yeah thank YOU 🤩 ### 5/5 — Definitely download *2026-06-26, version 0.3.138* I’ve had focus tree during my exams and it has done wonders! I’ve had no problems with it at all! Theres no ads, you can make your own flashcards to study, it makes me really productive, and even though there are in app purchases, it doesn’t advertise them to you and you don’t need to buy anything! It’s definitely worth downloading! ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2026-06-23* C’est l’une des applications qui a vraiment marcher sur moi, elle est simple mais efficace. Le système de récompenses avec les pièces et notre village, qui se construit au fur et à mesure comme on veut rend l’appli chouette créative et surtout productive. Tu as envie de travailler et de revenir encore et encore. Cela ne m’était jamais arrivée avec une application de productivité. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
