Glitching app made me lose all my trees and progress .

Used to love this app, it’s very useful for when I’m reading or need to be off my phone. Last night I set a stop watch timer while I read . I didn’t look at my phone after reading and went to sleep. When I woke up, the app was not recording my focus anymore. Now it’s glitching and I had to delete the app . Now it’s asking me to log back in and I’ve lost all my progress. So over this app.

HORRIBLE NEW UPDATE

The app WAS beautiful. The app WAS amazing.

EVERYONE AGREES:
The new update is the most horrible, greedy, unscrupulous, and useless thing to ever happen in Forest app history. It takes many more clicks to plant my trees and I cannot click to plant the tree matched to my label in one click like I used to be able to when I could select favorites.

FORREST APP TEAM PLEASE REVERT THE UPDATE IMMEDIATELY

Scammy new update

The new update erased all
my progress by making me create a new account, and now requires you to pay for premium just to unlock trees you used to get for actually using the app. Sad to see it go this direction

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.
