I rarely leave feedbacks for Apps, idk why but that's besides the point. After facing a lull in productivity and motivation with the lockdown and being back at home I decided to check this app out and silently wished for it to be worth it since I was paying to try it out but im very pleased to share with you all that it has indeed been worth it. It's great to use when tracking your production levels, and comparing it against previous moments really serves as a motivation and encouragement booster. I love the new stopwatch feature which actually suits me when I feel motivated to work but don’t want to risk a withered tree should I lose concentration but also the countdown feature is perfect for when I need a little push and tell myself “just do an hour” I kinda wish organisations like schools can purchase this and use it to facilitate motivation in times like this. Also it would great if there was a section where you could input a target for example if your target was to study for 5 hours on that day. But there app is constantly updating and improving and I can't wait to see what they come up with next, I only wish that I found this app earlier!! Would have planted so many real life trees!! ( yes you can do that!!)

I've been terrible at focussing on anything all my life. I fidget and task-switch all the time. It's very hard for me to concentrate of a single task without my mind drifting off, or being distracted by something unimportant. But this app has (pretty much!) saved me! I've been using it every day for a week, and it's really great. The psychological trick it plays on me is really startling — the 'tree' you grow will 'die' if you cancel the timer, or leave the app, and, despite how stupid it sounds, that alone makes me focus, preventing me from giving up. Guess I have a weak mind, haha. At any rate, I really like this app.I do have some suggestions, however: to request nicer/more fluid animations for the growing trees; better notifications/sounds for when your timer has expired; some optimisation, for the app does seem to drain the battery on my iPhone faster than you'd expect. There’s also no update to take into account the “notch” on newer iPhone models. I’d also very much prefer an option to grow full-sized trees for shorter time periods. Make it fully customisable! Having to set a two hour work session to grow a full-sized tree (which look so much nicer than a forest of small ones!) is pretty detrimental, as concentrating for that length of time without a break is actually detrimental to learning/effective productivity. Instead, we should be able to choose what sized tree to grow, regardless of the time allotted. Thanks for making me more productive!

I truly adore this app. Growing (or killing) your little digital trees and seeing your forest expand is genuinely motivating and really does keep you from going on your phone and getting distracted. The price is more than fair, and what really drew me to this app over some of the similar competition is the fact that it has a proper iPad version, which none of the others do. The layout and art style is nice, and being able to view your daily/ weekly/ monthly and yearly forest is both pretty and motivating - widgets can currently only display your ‘daily’ forest efforts and I would love to see at least weekly and monthly widgets in the future, especially on iPad where you have additional screen space to enjoy your forest. The reason I can only give 4 stars in the app’s current state is because the [iPad version] widgets simply do not work. Instead, the widgets display as completely blank white squares/ rectangles, which is a shame because the widgets are actually really good on the iPhone. After multiple reinstalls of the app, I did manage to get the iPad widgets working for a day or two and they seemed nice. There was definitely some scaling issues when displaying the forest tile though, which looked too small inside the widget once you had something in your forest for that day, and if you didn’t, then the empty forest tile appeared larger and pixelated. Sadly, the widget has since stopped working altogether and I can’t get it working again. On the plus side, the customer service seems good, and they reply fairly quickly and are friendly and understanding, so hopefully these issues will be ironed out soon. The app deserves 5 stars all day long once these bugs are sorted :)

i LOVE this app. something about it actually makes me study, unlike other study tracking apps. the fact I had to pay for it really motivated me to use it at first but now, all i can think of when i’m studying is “i need to put a forest on”. the trees you buy with the coins you earn from focus time are BEAUTIFUL. i’ve had this app for quite a while now (3years) so i’ve purchased pretty much all the trees so I get super excited when a new one is released. i can’t stop raving about this app to all my friends, which inevitably makes them buy it aswell. i love the “plant with friends” option as it allows you to plant a tree you have not purchased yourself. i regularly check my statistics to try and beat my focus time from the previous week, month, year etc. this app keeps me so motivated and on track. seeing the actual values of how long i’ve been studying really helps me put my efforts into perspective. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP ENOUGH!!!
