Plant a seed in Forest when you need to put down your phone and stay focused to get your to do list done.

As you stay focused, 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 while seeing a flourishing forest with each tree representing your dedication motivates you to reduce procrastination, and helps you build a good habit of time management!

I like the app. All I really want is a way to track my study time. The UX has some rough edges such as slow page loads, video ads appearing without warning (which is jarring), and the same free unlockable item repeatedly re-locking. That's all annoying but forgivable. That said, I was ready to purchase the pro version, but the day I planned to buy, they changed to a subscription plan (hate that), and even that is currently broken. So there's no way to get pro plan at all right now. Disappointed.

ok, so I've been using Forest for at least a year, if not longer. Would've absolutely given 5 stars and a glowing review up until a week or so ago, when they released the newest update to the app. Now, the app keeps crashing over and over and barely working. So, I did what is always recommended - uninstall and reinstall. NOW, I can't even log in and get all my stuff, despite having purchased the pro version ages ago. Not cool, guys.

I like the idea behind this app - it is simple and helpful. The main downside is the notifications. I want it to mute notifications for everything while I am in focus mode, but play a noise when my timer is up. It seems the only options are to have all notifications on or all off, which is counterproductive when what I want is to focus for a set amount of time.
