User reviews

Just make it simple

Way too complicated now with all the unnecessary updates to start another session. Making it 3 buttons instead of 1 like— having to wait and hit no I don’t want to boost rewards and then yes back to home

Issue

Good tool but drawing ridiculous amounts of battery which makes it difficult to use regularly

No sounds available in the store

I think this is a bug, I am not able to buy new sounds. There are currently none available under any section of the store.

Amazing! Apple shortcut?

I love this app so much! I have a recommendation though. Would you please set an Apple shortcut to automatically start planting when I do a certain thing? Also, if you guys could bring back the old way of having to keep the forest app open in order to grow the trees

So Effective

Helps me with focus so much and world genuinley reccomend to others, however could you please make an app for mac where you can either download from web or the appstore, thank you
