About

Grove

Read full description

Grow a quiet little world at your own pace. Plant trees, flowers, grass and glowing stones. Shape gentle ponds, welcome wildlife, and watch your grove change through rain, snow, starlight and the seasons. Wander without goals in Zen mode, sit beneath the trees, dive below the water, or frame peaceful moments with the old camera and keep them in your journal. Grove is designed for winding down. Its layered forest soundscape and optional sleep timer fade softly as you drift off. There are no ads, accounts, streaks or pressure—only a private forest that grows with you. Your grove is stored on your device and can be backed up to your private iCloud database. Optional tips support the project and do not unlock gameplay.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Grove at none against Quantum Squad's shown. Quantum Squad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
