Good app but too many glitches

I love the concept of the app and have been using it for years, but there are just too many glitches, including times when my plus subscription was disabled, or cannot sync, or cannot open daily challenges. It’s just frustrating. The in-app support function was also unable to load when I have these issues, so there’s literally no help I can get. Already reconsidering if I should renew my subscription.

Doesn’t work

Wouldn’t let me create an account.

When it finally did, somehow this was glitchy and wouldn’t work.

The cutest study app ever 🌱

I genuinely adore this app. I’ve tried plenty of study timers, but Forest is the first one that actually makes me want to sit down and study. There’s something ridiculously satisfying about watching your plants grow and being able to look back at everything you’ve accomplished.
The fact that the app also contributes to planting real trees makes it even more meaningful. I especially love how much personality and creativity the community has brought to the app by making patterns with their trees.
Can’t ever be productive without this app now 💚

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.
