For example, I’ll be trying to take a picture so I can head towards the level up and it’ll crash and take me to the home screen. Or if the ad that I’m watching, takes a second to load the app crash. ### 3/5 — It’s fine *2026-08-21, version 3.17.0* It’s just not worth buying animals ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER! *2026-08-21, version 3.17.0* (OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME😍🥰❤️) I was bored one day and I found this game... It's so fun seeing the animals interact with the stuff around them and the noises of nature is amazing, GET THIS GAME! IT'S THE BEST! ### 4/5 — Very Relaxing and Fun, but F2P Players Might Struggle. *2026-08-20, version 3.17.0* Pros: • Really relaxing game. I love just opening it and chilling for a while. • There’s actually a lot to do. There are tons of animals and areas to unlock, so you always have something to work toward. • Super easy to play and understand. You don’t really have to figure out a bunch of complicated stuff. • The animals and areas look REALLY nice. The animal models are cute and the whole game just looks good. • I also really like that ads aren’t forced on you. You choose when you want to watch an ad, and you get a reward for it. You’re not just randomly getting an ad in the middle of playing. Cons: • You cannot collect every animal without spending money. A lot of animals are locked behind purchases, which sucks if you’re trying to collect everything while staying F2P. • There are WAY too many rewards that make you watch an ad. Even though ads aren’t forced on you, a lot of the stuff you need to level up and move forward will have an ad option. After a while it gets REALLY annoying because you feel like you have to keep watching ads just to progress. I know the $9.99 No Ads Pack isn’t insanely expensive, but $10 is still a lot for some people. Playing without it can get pretty frustrating, especially if you’re F2P. I ended up buying it because I got tired of watching ads so much lol. • It can be pretty time consuming. If you don’t like having to come back every 30 minutes to an hour to collect stuff, level up, and click around, you might get annoyed. It’s kind of an idle game, but not completely. You still have to actually come back and do things. But if you like having a chill game that you can check on throughout the day, it’s really fun. Overall: I really like Forest Island. It’s relaxing, easy to play, has a lot of animals and areas, and the graphics are really nice. My biggest problems are the amount of ads you end up watching for rewards and the fact that you can’t get every animal without paying. Other than that, it’s a really fun game to just chill on and come back to throughout the day. ### 5/5 — Its really annoying me, but good game *2026-08-19, version 3.17.0* So this is a very nice and relaxing game. But the log hollow and the tree of rest are meant to give you the coin things automatically, but then you go offline and it stops. I think it would make sense to make it still do it when your offline. Otherwise a relaxing, good graphics game experience. ### 5/5 — like BEST GAME EVER!!!!!! *2026-08-18, version 3.17.0* Is it just me or is this the best game there is no ADS and…there are just so many cute animals ### 5/5 — Cute *2026-08-18, version 3.17.0* I love the animals in this game.Plus no ads so far. ### 5/5 — I can’t omg *2026-08-18, version 3.17.0* All I can say is yes. Amazing. If you could go off the chart with stars I would put over 100. Great for studying and winding down and overall just playing! 100% recommended. A need. ### 5/5 — Amazing boredom cure *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* If your bored this is the solution ### 5/5 — Forest Island *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* Best game ever to relax! And i love animals so this is a go-to game! Have a good day! ### 5/5 — Cutest animals ever *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* This game makes me so relaxed every time I play it and five stars because the animals are so adorable. ### 4/5 — Cute but need help *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* I love this game so much! I would literally scream every time I got a new animal. I used to make time in my busy day for this game. However, I am having some issues. My game is acting weird. It started by closing out of the app every time I tried to use the camera. Now, I can’t even open the app. I checked if I needed to update it, but it said there weren’t any updates I missed. Idk. I thought about deleting the app and reinstalling, but I didn’t save it, so there is a high chance that all of my progress wouldn’t save. Help please? ### 5/5 — Really fun and relaxing. *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* As I said in the title, it is very fun and relaxing. The animal models are cute, and overall it’s really well made for a free mobile game. I definitely recommend this game if you sometimes need to wind down from a long day, or just want to have some fun! ### 5/5 — 잘 만들어진 게임에 긴 광고시간 *2026-08-17* 힐링하기 좋고 사운드도 그래픽도 좋은데 다만 광고 시간이 길다 이런 류의 게임을 오랜만에 하는데 예전의 15-30초에 10초정도 더 얹혀지던 광고가 아니라 30-60초에 10초가 더 얹어지는 형식임 보상이 필요할 때만 보면 되고 초반이라 보면서 하고있긴 한데 60초+10초 광고가 반복되면 게임을 계속 할지는 모르겠다 30초는 볼만한데 이 부분이 아쉬움 이게 앱스토어쪽 시스템인지 게임쪽 시스템인지는 모르지만 긴 광고시간에 지치지만 않는다면 쭉 하게 될거같다 출시했을 당시 안했던게 후회됨 발열때문에 그래픽 보통으로 하고 있는데 그래도 발열이 있음 ### 5/5 — Animal fun *2026-08-17, version 3.17.0* this game is sooo cute!And its really fun for people who loves animals!But I think everyone will like this game!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — updates *2026-08-27, version 3.18.0* after update will not let me continue game and have lost access to my account “cannot find” big sad ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-08-23, version 3.17.0* This game could have been way more fun and better. From the moment i downloaded and played for a day it’s like your hit with 20 different packages to buy. Don’t understand why you can’t get the cool or cute animals by just working towards them why does everything have to be an extra package for money just to get the baby version of the animal or to upgrade the other islands ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-20, version 3.17.0* I’m so mad that will not work. I’ve been trying it almost 100 times and it won’t let me in.😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — App crashes *2026-08-12, version 3.16.1* I love the game but I can’t open the app anymore for more than 2 minutes without it crashing ### 1/5 — Bug? *2026-08-12, version 3.16.1* Every time I try to open the app, I past the loading screen but before I can tap and actually enter the game, it kicks me. ### 1/5 — RELAXING GAME!!!!!!??????

Include fun animals I would recommend for anyone really and all the good stuff is for money, but you don’t need to dump money in and I’ve been feeling sad but this game has really relaxed me and made me feel better. ### 5/5 — BUY THIS APP! *2026-08-29, version 3.18.0* Soooo relaxing! Plus cute little animals you can get! Do you think you can make a jaguar animal in the game? ### 5/5 — 💯❤️ *2026-08-28, version 3.18.0* I love it it very relaxing and fun ### 5/5 — SO CUTE 🥰 *2026-08-27, version 3.18.0* I literally play this every day and it’s so relaxing… and cute! I love the animation style as well. I also love how you can tap the animals to get unique reactions and cute sounds. I recently got the ragdoll cat and it is so adorable. It was also fulfilling because I worked hard to get it. But anyway I absolutely adore this game and I hope you all have a great day! Goodbye!👋 🐾 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-27, version 3.18.0* Love the game so much, it’s lovely to just sit down and relax while you play.

Hands down ### 5/5 — Adorable *2026-08-23, version 3.17.0* The game is really relaxing to play and the animals are so cute ### 5/5 — OMG!❤️ *2026-08-21, version 3.17.0* OMG I love this game so much it’s so nice and the music is peaceful, the animals are so cute and well made, I love all the little mini games there not stressful at all, the game itself is the least stressful game I’ve ever played, the only thing I don’t like about it is that it tells me to take a picture of any animal and send it to someone I think that’s a little weird but otherwise the game is nice. ### 5/5 — Such an adorable game, and NO ADS! (Unless you want to speed something up) *2026-08-21, version 3.17.0* This game is so adorable, it has some of my favorite animals, and that it’s super relaxing and fun to play! 10/10 on this game, download it 🫶 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
