Description

## Top productivity app in 136 countries. More than 2 million satisfied paying users. Featured in Apple's "Amazing Apps" TV commercial. ## Staying focused with the cutest gamified timer. ## Over 1,500,000 real trees were planted on Earth by our users. "Forest works well, and if your goal is to be more in the moment, ignore your phone and actually talk to your friends when you are with them, this is the app for you."— The New York Times "In order to establish new, better habits, it's helpful to engage with tools that make it easier to reinforce them. For anyone looking to curtail their phone usage, the Forest app might be for you."— Business Insider If you want to temporarily put down your phone and focus on what’s more important in real life, you can plant a seed in Forest. As time goes by, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app, your tree will wither. The sense of achievement and responsibility will encourage you to stay away from your phone, and will help you make better use of your time. Stop getting distracted by your phone, make you self-motivated and get more things done. Stay focused, Be present! STAY FOCUSED • A interesting way to help you beat phone addiction and overcome distraction • Turn your focused moments into a lush forest. • Create personalized Allow Lists for different situations. Non-allowed apps will be blocked. (iOS 16 or above) GET MOTIVATED • Earn rewards and unlock more than 90 new tree species and white noises. • Share your forest and compete with friends and users around the world. • Plant trees along with friends & family. • Unlock achievements and earn extra rewards. • Plant real trees on Earth and protect the environment with tree-planting organization Trees for the Future. STATISTICS • Manage your own tags and view detailed statistics of your time distribution. • Browse your weekly, monthly and even your yearly big forest. • Track your focused time in the Apple Health App. • Track your daily phone usage and screen time. • Recall memories of your planting journey with our brand new Forest Timeline! It's never too late to build up productive habits! NOTICE • Forest is compatible with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and can be used across these iOS devices with a one-time purchase. The full app with the aforementioned features is available on iPhone and iPad; on Apple Watch you can view live planting session and today’s focus stats. To download or unlock a non-iOS version, it requires a separate purchase. By logging into the same account, your data can be synchronized across all platforms. • Due to iOS limitations, the Allow List feature is only available on iOS/iPadOS 16 or above. If you’re using a device running iOS/iPadOS 15 or below, your tree will wither when you leave Forest during a planting session. • Due to budget constraint, the number of real trees each user can plant is limited to five. We will be introducing limited time events that will allow users to plant more real trees. Please follow our social media page or check the in-app announcement for more updates. • There is only one version of Forest on the App Store. Other apps that are similar and mimics Forest are not developed by the Forest team. Thank you for your support!

  • Deletes “progress”

    I really enjoyed this app and it’s very simple to use. My only gripe is that 3 times, after software updates or getting a new phone, it deletes my purchased trees from the app. Those are kind of a goal and so it kills my motivation and therefore incentive to use the app when my reward disappear and I had to re-earn them.

  • GET RID OF THE PAUSE FEATURE

    I’ve been using this app for years. It’s been great until recently. They added a pause button while planting a tree. With it, you essentially stop planting a tree, unlocking your phone, COMPLETELY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF THIS APP. You can do this multiple times too. At least give users the ability to turn this off. I looked and cannot find it. I will change this review to 5 stars if they fix this.
  • Widgets Not Working :(

    I LOVE Forest. I’ve been using it since 2020, and it’s only improved over the years. However, this newest update has broken the widgets feature. :( Still love the app. Please just fix the widgets!!
  • Got worse over time

    Added a bunch of ai slop plants, added monthly subscriptions, added a ton of micro transactions, and then they add a pause feature that defeats the whole purpose of the app.
  • They weren’t lying…

    They weren’t lying. This literally made my focusing addicting. I was surprised.
  • Pause Button Update Ruins It

    I really really loved this app. It keeps me so on top of things at work. However, the new pause button that lets you just leave for 5 minutes at a time is just antithetical to the entire point of this app! There should at least be something in settings to toggle this on/off.
  • PLEASE GET RID OF PAUSE BUTTON

    Been a paid user on this app for a few years and the updates in the last few weeks have been a bit disappointing. But I get they need to make more money somehow so I’ve been trying to stick with it since the plus subscription came out. But the pause function makes it worthless to me now! The whole point of the app was to lock me out of my apps for a given time and the ONLY way to open them was to have a dead tree. If I can just pause the session whenever I want for however long I want then it makes this app pointless. I’m going to have to find a new app like forest unless you FIX THIS. PLEASE
  • Used to be a nice app

    Too many ads, bells, and whistles for what used to be a simple app. Buggy too, with bizarrely frequent updates that don't seem to improve anything.
  • Subscription is a scam

    The premise of this app is great. However, all the free version is is a timer. It does not allow you to block apps and your tree does not wither when you leave with page to do other (not focusing) things. The paid subscription is over $30 per year which, personally, seems nuts. Upon downloading the app I started a 7 day free trial, realized I accidentally logged in with my Apple ID and deleted the account to create a new one with my email. Despite still being in the free trial window they are refusing to allow me to access the free trial and are saying that I need to pay over $30 outright — just to see if the app helps me enough to pay an exorbitant subscription price. Unless you are hooked on the specific look of this app I would find a different one.
