Good app but needs more trees with the new style

I've been using forest for years and think the new update is a great improvement on the old system even if it takes getting used to. However scrolling through the new tree catalogue made it clear to me that for some reason the developers have almost entirely switched from making the trees you can purchase with coins or time gems to the monthly challenge trees. I like the challenge trees but when I'm scrolling through the catalogue of options and over half are completely unavailable to buy anywhere, at any time, it's just an odd decision. Why don't they make some of the ones from a while ago available with time gems? What's the point of time gems when you can only spend them on the same 5 trees? I'd love to have some like the moth orchid but literally can't pay to get it, just have to hope it comes onto the premium. Meanwhile the ones you can pay for are older and look very dated in comparison. Have they just given up on the shop completely?

going downhill

Used to be great, but going downhill since they added a subscription. I was a paid user and the latest update logs me out every time I close the app. I’ve been forced to go through the same slides showing me my gift for being a Pro user at least 3-4 times now. The focus challenges are cool but don’t update automatically, I’m forced to open and close the app several times for my progress to update. All the other new features feel like bloat and it’s becoming harder to use the app

I hate the policy

I can not understand why the app realeased a new version while it cost me just 1 year ago. I deserve using a app without any ad about your new subcription. Too disappointing

Terrible update

I can no longer switch back to classic. The new interface is distracting and sad to say that as I longtime Pro user, I will be looking for alternatives and deleting my account as soon as I find one.

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.
