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!

  • Plus rollout discourages long-time Pro users

    Many of the features that were included in Forest Pro have been put behind a paywall now that the subscription-based Plus model is being rolled out. Really disappointing that the Forest developers would renege on their previous promises to preserve these features to Pro users. I’ll be switching to Flora or other time tracking apps
  • New Subscription is Needless CashGrab

    A perfectly good app by the way but they just had to implement some sort of subscription and it’s 7$ a month for small bonus that add little to the new features. Disappointing.
  • Wow

  • The created a premium and took away features

    The most recent update of the app has created a premium version of it. This premium version is essentially all of the interesting features that the regular version used to have, and they took them away from the original users of the app. I hate when apps do this because they’re essentially forcing us to spend money in order to keep what we’ve already been used to using.
  • Bloated and expensive :(

    This app is getting bloated and expensive. I hope the developers roll back this subscription tier and the subscription ads that go with it. What used to be a simple, fun little app has become full of a random litte functions that just muddle the purpose. They'll add email soon enough, I'm sure.
  • Yet another subscription model… ugh

    I have used Forest for yearsssss. I love it. It has helped me so much. But I must say, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to see them pushing a subscription model now. It’s instant frustration when ever I see the icon… so much I want to close the app. Developers need to realize subscription fatigue is a thing. Users aren’t rich and we shouldn’t have to continuously pay to use an app… especially one we’ve been using for years. If forest starts hiding some of the features behind the paywall as I suspect they will, I can guarantee they’ll lose me (and others) for good. This isn’t a sustainable business plan for your consumers. If you want money, offer limited events or something. Not monthly/annual subscriptions. Entice us; don’t hold us hostage. Ugh.

    Paid for this app about 5 years ago & now I have to pay yearly for a bunch of features I had in the first place? Never using this app again. What a scam
  • Greed much?

    Pay for the app, but now you insist on more money grabbing with a subscription? I bought this app because it was simple, but now you advertise plus version on every page of your app. I want my money back
  • Heartbroken dev switch to subscription model 💔

    By arsenrrrg
    I was an original supporter of forest and PAID for it almost a decade ago. The app recently updated and they added “Forest Plus” a subscription based service. Under the benefits, they mention removal of ads and deep focus model within a custom allow list. This feature was free and the app has never had ads before… I’ve used Forest for a decade and am heartbroken by the developers’ decision to lock existing features behind a paywall. I guess I will have to just switch to the built in screen-time.
