  • This used to be my favorite focus app

    I bought this app for $1.99 back in 2018! I loved it because of its cuteness and simplicity, and because I’m a plant person who has a hard time putting their phone down. However, recent changes to both the art style and in-app content over the past year (e.g. trees that look AI generated, subscription constantly pushed in your face, two types of monthly challenges) take away both the functionality and enjoyment of the app for me. I appreciate that the developers solicited user feedback for these changes via surveys before instating them, and perhaps my views on the change in app appearance were not in agreement with the majority. But regardless, longtime users shouldn’t have to see anything about additional subscriptions. We’ve supported this project from the beginning!

  • Not working!!

    5 stars because I LOVE this app :) All of my apps are being allowed during planting times. Even the blocked ones. I am in deep focus. I’ve tried with pause on and off. Tried pausing for seconds then coming back. Tried pausing for the full five minutes then coming back. Everything is still allowed. No tree withering. No “get off your phone” message when you click an app that isn’t allowed. SIDENOTE: I would LOVE to see some more fall leaves. There are only like three actual trees that have orange, yellow, and red leaves (not flowers, leaves :)

  • Roll back the updates

    Please bring the Favorites back. People had specific tree types and timers saved for specific activities. Please roll back the updates - the new UI is horrible and not user-friendly to the point that I don’t want to open the app anymore. I’ve been using the app for 9 years now. The original UI was intuitive, clutter-free, and user-friendly. The changes are horrendous and unnecessary. Update 11/11/26: Have to press multiple buttons now just to exit the timer once a tree is planted. I’m constantly tempted to just close and reopen the app so I don’t have to go through that unnecessary flow. The UX is horrible.

  • From simple, to complicated.

    The time setting feature was unnecessarily made more complicated recently. The “tags” and rewards feature was also unnecessary. I paid for a simple app 6 years ago, not an app that adds more hoops and hurdles to set a simple timer with a tree.

  • Too many updates

    Why does it need to pop an update message every single week??? I mean it’s not a really complex app.

  • Updates are suck!!

    Remove “take a break” I always click it by mistake and then have to get out of there and wait extra time. That’s annoying I don’t need this break feature like at all! If I wanna break I’ll take a freaking break without the app

  • Focus challenge bugs

    Overall an amazing app, however I haven’t been able to use it recently as my focus challenge does not load and closes from timing out.

  • Needs improvement

    ① When focusing for 120 minutes or more with a 'TREE', 3 out of 4 trees fail to grow fully and stop growing halfway, which looks unappealing. ② The 'My Forest' view is too small to look good, failing to provide proper motivation.

  • don't like how greedy they're getting

    for context i've been using this app for years, and i still use it; originally i loved the one-time payment and lack of ads, but now the entire UI is centered around advertising their subscription model (for a STUDY TIMER APP, of all things). yes they've added a bunch of other functions over the years but i think they've lost touch their their original mission

  • The App made by Amateurs

    By Jason Dallocort
    With every update, this app constantly has some glitches and bugs. There are regular flaws in the app overall. On top of that, notifications for when the timer ends often don’t arrive at all. For me personally, unfortunately, this app has turned into a nerve-racking experience. It feels like just another amateur app made in hopes of generating at least some income. I had two paid subscriptions Forest Plus for this app. For now, to me, it's the best of the worst Best regards, Jason Dallocort
