Ai UI

This app has a special place in my heart from study back when i was in school, downloaded it try to get back into focus, only to be met with this awful vibe-coded ui? Why on earth did the team think this looks better than the OG design? It was actually unique with the timer etc, now it just looks like everything else. Sad.

All the distraction

I used to love this simple app but since the latest upgrade, there’s a million reasons to stay in the app and get distracted by the adverts for the Store or all the other features. Surely that defeats the original purpose?

Good for focus

This app is good for focusing, but it’s buggy. Example: shop often doesn’t take you to the chosen plant. Where is the celestial tree? It’s okay to ask for money, but how should we know the prices if you don’t link the tree, which happens every now and then?
The music gets muted if you select another song with volume. 🫩 The song list doesn’t have memory either. And I have many songs in my playlist playable that it’s in the shop to still purchase (or purchase AGAIN?)… The background songs don’t play with locked screen either.
Purchasing Pro is not an option… only Plus, which has no extra lands.

The new version is a horror story

This new update is terrible. Please bring the old timer settings back! It's so frustrating to set the timer now. Way too many clicks. It’s also really hard to tell how the tree will turn out (you have to set the time, go back to preview what it looks like, go back to settings to start it... and if you don't like the tree style for that time frame, you have to do it all over again 🤡). Please fix this! The app is meant to be useful and get as focused, not to be a distraction.

FAQ

What does the Forest app do?

Forest is a productivity app that uses a gamified timer to help users stay focused and reduce phone distractions. When you want to concentrate, you plant a virtual seed that grows into a tree. If you leave the app during a focus session, the tree withers, encouraging you to stay on task.

What are the key features of Forest?

Key features include a gamified focus timer, the ability to plant virtual trees that grow over time, personalized allow lists to block distracting apps (iOS 16+), earning rewards for new tree species and white noises, and participating in a real tree planting initiative with Trees for the Future.

How much does Forest cost?

The app is free to download and offers in-app purchases for additional features and content. While the core functionality is available for free, users can purchase the full app experience and unlock all features. Separate purchases may be required for non-iOS versions.

What devices is Forest compatible with?

Forest is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The full app experience is available on iPhone and iPad, while the Apple Watch allows viewing live planting sessions and daily focus stats. Data can be synchronized across all iOS devices by logging into the same account.

How does Forest help with phone addiction and distraction?

The app helps combat phone addiction and distraction by creating a sense of responsibility and achievement. The visual representation of a growing tree motivates users to stay away from their phones. Personalized allow lists further prevent access to non-essential apps during focus sessions.
