Your best executive dysfunction fighter

This app saves my life at work every other day. I’m prone to picking my phone up to reply to an important text, only to wake up half an hour later scrolling through Facebook. Forest allows me to focus, have one distraction less, and with an incentive that feels worthwhile. Also the new function that allows you to get coins after your tree has grown, but you didn’t have time to pick it up? Makes me focus longer.All in all, if you have any concentration problems, give Forest a try.

Nice but doesn't work good enough

The whole idea is great but it shouldn't be so strict on your mobile - after all, you sometimes need access to your calendar or other mobile app that doesn't distract you, but you need it really for work. I think that it should be made with black and white list of the apps that you want to be blocked or still accessible. It would be much more reasonable.I also have safari extension which would be totally useful if it really worked as it supposed to. In practice, it works once or twice as it should and later it doesn't stop counting at all. I've been testing it for three days now and it's still the same. Even today, I opened my Mac after the whole night and there is still "leave me alone" status. To refresh it I must restart the Mac because there is no other way to make it move. Just after I restart Mac, I get the notification that the tree has grown. If it keeps happening, I'll have to uninstall this extension, because I can't restart my computer several times a day just because of that. Which really would be bad because I like the system and psychologically - I admit that it really works.

Hello,Due to the limitation of the iOS system, we cannot determine what app the user is currently using. Therefore we cannot implement the whitelist feature for the iOS version. As a workaround, we built a "Work with Phone" feature, which can be enabled in the settings page. This feature enables users to use work related apps during their planting periods, but users will have to be honest with themselves when using this feature. The trees planted with this feature enabled will not be counted towards the leaderboard, and users will only receive half the reward if they exit Forest during the planting period. Currently, the whitelist feature cannot be implemented for iOS. If you see features similar to whitelist on other apps, please let us know so that we may figure out how it was implemented. As for the problem of Safari extension, please do contact us in-app and provide us with the screenshots or details of the problem so that we could further investigate this issue r for you! (We are sorry that the information in the review is not enough for us to figure out the issue and we kindly ask for your understanding.)Thanks for the feedback! :)

I’ve been using forest for a few years and it’s extremely useful to keep me on task when i study. I love the little rewards system and that i can grow trees. It scratches a part in my adhd brain that allows me to focus more fully! I’ve been singing praises of this app for years and got many of my friends hooked on it too. BUT i just updated it and found out about premium and as somebody who already had to pay for forest I’m extremely disappointed. Plants that i have previously unlocked are now locked because i don’t want to pay for premium especially that i have already payed for forest once. I’m really sad because it’s my go to app to focus and it helps me out a lot. I’ve already planted real life trees and many other things but now I’m just disappointed about this premium and i wish i hadn’t updated forest. I can’t pay a monthly subscription and all my feelings about this app have soured because of this.

Ghost of the Mountains
The app’s finally receiving an improved, satisfying look and feel. Looking forward to seeing further progress, including swift responsiveness in particular parts of the UI, like claiming prices for completed quests. The widget, though… It’s stopped working altogether: There’s no feed, and it’s been a while. Also, it doesn’t support Clear Home Screen mode, displaying a burnt-out shape instead of a detailed forest. I’ve asked about it many times, but to no avail so far. Besides that, keep it up, you’re getting there!EDIT: The Multifunction Combo widget still doesn’t work, even after the most recent update.
