This app is the reason i am able to focus for a prolonged period of time which is the most helpful in exam season. I’ve had this app for years and i simply love it. However i would really appreciate another timer option for pomodoro with focus-break-focus-break settings. Another this is that the custom allow list just stopped working for me and i’ve done literally everything to fix it and nothing works which is really unfortunate because only allow list that works is the one build in the app which i simply cannot use because i have some of my study apps or materials on my phone. Overall this app is amazing if you have troubles focusing on studying or anything really. Have been recommending this to all of my friends they all love it as well.
Very nice application for productivity.

I really like the app. It is very good. However, I would appreciate one more focus mode, or a slightly different stopwatch mode. I would appreciate, if there were a possibility of setting a string of focus-break-focus-break. Or just simply to interrupt the stopwatch mode and then continue in one already started. The reason is that I have a small child and when I want to devote one hour to work, it is not always possible without an interruption. So as a matter of fact, I do not know, how long I have actually focused, because in the middle I just have to go and take care of the needs of the child. If there were a possibility of stopping the stopwatch mode, it would just be much simpler and I could continue in the work-time later. I know that I can stop the mode and then start a new one, but it is not as elegant as I would like it. And when I want to reach the 120 min version of the tree, it is just impossible, I think a normal person is not able to focus fully without a break for more than 45-60 minutes. So in order to achieve this form of the tree, me personally, I would have to cheat.
Great help!

Honestly downloaded this app with a great deal of skepticism, I am usually not the one who falls for these study apps but i have to say that it has helped me immensely with focus on my studying, it makes me more disciplined when it comes to studying which is all I wanted, i have been using it for a week and each day I am more and more focused and can do more work which is amazing! So i definitely do recommend this app, it’s not that expensive and it helps plus i can share my forest with my friends which motivates us to do better for each other and ourselves😊
I love this app — and so will you.

Forest has been helping me manage my time in quarantine and raise productivity. Can’t focus on a book or an assignment? Turn it on and watch your forest grow. Cute animal/ghost plants included, and if you fancy yourself a bit of an autumn enthusiast like me, you’ll certainly enjoy saving coins for aesthetic maple tree 🍂🍁 a bonus point: you can actually help the environment a bit by doing what you are supposed to but pushed away by scrolling through Instagram. Deffinitely worth it
This update includes fixes for known issues and general performance improvements to make your Forest experience more stable and smooth.
