This app is a simple and a useful means for productivity. Whenever I plant a tree or a bush or etc. I am always determined to not let the plant die because who doesn’t want a perfect streak with no withered plants? Whenever I feel like I spent way too much time on my phone, I just immediately go to the Forest app and plant to hinder me from using my phone any longer. I am much more encouraged as well to actually plant these plants that do not want me to use my phone because as I build up my coins, I can also help in the tree-planting project the Forest team is promoting and is also their advocacy. I have currently purchased 2 actual trees for the Forest team to plant and I can’t wait to purchase more actual trees! This app is very simple yet very useful for everyone trying to combat their phone addiction and finally live life outside our digital screens. My life has improved so much from the past few months with the help of this app and I have never regretted ever purchasing this app.
Great app for ADHD but i wish it had an alarm for completed focus times
MYA Solero
I give it 4 stars overall because it has helped with managing my productivity and inattention. It also keeps me motivated because focus time can lead to actual trees being planted and it makes simple things values- and advocacy-driven, which is a stronger motivation source for me than gamification, although the latter does help a lot also. I love seeing my forest at the end of each week. It is also very helpful that there is a timer mode and a set time mode and a switch to turn deep focus mode on and off because there are tasks that I need to switch apps like when I need to use the calculator app or check the calendar. I give it 4 stars because it is nearly perfect. I just wish it had the option to add a soothing alarm sound and congratulatory banner after each set focus time so I know when the time is up. One of my issues with ADHD is that hyperfocusing leads to obsession or lack of balance and it would be great to have a reminder at the end of 30 minutes or so to remind me to pause and check in with my energy. I can’t do this with the current app or ai just don’t know how? I’m new to this. Either way, I hope it can be a feature in the next update. And just the same, would definitely recommend the app. I think it is useful as is.
Very effective and useful
LostSputnik
I was just recently introduced to me last week by a friend and it has changed my study habits ever since. For someone who has a short attention span, it made a positive impact on how I could manage my time more effectively and keep me focused while decreasing my screen time and curtail my phone usage all together. I am able to keep my self in check and complete more hours of reading than I ever have. However, as an avid user, I think there are some features that need customization such as the option to filter out certain apps only that serve as a distraction during deep focus mode knowing there are productivity apps in our phones during our working time. This amazing app is worth 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to my college friends!! 👍
With a Little Honesty, You can Improve Performance Awareness and Work Efficiency
Tin Rafol
When you plant and track hours here, you can't open other apps or your plant will die. Therefore, zero activity on the phone. But you can still visit facebook, instagram, and other distracting sites using your other gadgets. That's the setback. That's why I said, you have to be honest by not visiting other non-related sites in your other gadgets while you track hours using this app on your phone. If you do this, you can view from this app the trees and bushes you planted and label them according to the task you were handling during these hours. By looking at your activity page in the app, you will see the work you've accomplished and the number of hours or minutes you spent on them. Great app if you'll only be honest!
This update includes fixes for known issues and general performance improvements to make your Forest experience more stable and smooth.
