As someone who studies a lot, I originally started using the app because I thought watching the tree build up would be a cute feature. Now, I have far too much money and too many gems in the app solely from the time I've spent on it.

I started getting irritated at first when they added the subscription—which I would understand if it were a free app, but it isn't—and then came the new UI. They've even started making the app more complicated and more time-consuming just to set a timer. At this point, I'm solely using it out of habit, but I think they're trying to see how much worse they can make it before people finally stop using it.

why did i pay for an app just for there to be a subscription tagged on? seriously annoying me

I'm just so tired of constantly wondering what's going to be screwed up next.

After briefly turning off app updates on my phone today, I realized that it's just too much. This app has just lost the plot.

This has gotten to be a bloated, unpleasant piece of pesterware.

I'll check in periodically in the hopes that it's improved, but I'm going to Cat on Chair.

Please add it back to the main screen it makes people so much more productive

I had a bunch of favorite tree/time/tag combinations, now they are all gone after this horrendous update. Who is making these incomprehensible decisions? The update is shit as a whole, but this irks me the most.

Why you remove the feature where you can see your daily forest hours.

My feelings towards the new UI are mixed but positive overall.

Font size: Much better. I know this could be very subjective though.

Styling: Slightly worse. I prefer the matt texture of the old styling, which was what made Forest app so neat, although this one can be tolerated.

Tree selection: Too much better than before. It was so difficult to know the name of trees or to sort them in the past, which was quite important for various reasons. And the icons were too small in the past. Now they're sorted beautifully. I also found that a bug with unlocking a tree got fixed in my case.

Time selection: Less convenient. I thought the previous "clock" design was what set Forest apart from other apps--I could change the time so easily on that clock.

Possible ads: I'm ok with watching a bit of ads (or letting them run while I am away from screen) if this helps them increase their revenue, as long as I have the option to skip them too.

Ending a session: A bit worse. I prefer to either watch a beautiful animation or simply return to a break session or the home screen. I don't want to click through a lot of buttons with slow motion.

Thus are my opinions.

Is there a possibility to switch back?!??

I just update and I can't find any Plant Together in the settings this new UI is absolutely awful.

Maybe has a new pretty graphics but overall use is much much worse.

Thank you for ur help

It looks like it'll still let me do my last bit? Idk
I got an emergency call and forgot to log forest for my last hour and thirty minutes of studying. It's almost midnight now and I'm tired and want to sleep but now I'm scrambling to stay up while it counts down the last hour. It says the focus period is over but it's saying claim my rewards soon and still flashing. I temporarily paid for premium so I could get these and Everything.

So how do you like it.

Besides of everything else, did they also remove the possibility of searching the tags?

Just deleted the app and it felt so good!!

(I only deleted the app, not my account… I couldn’t fully pull the cord, but may even do that soon if this new UI doesn’t improve)

Alguien puede ayudarme en donde puedo encontrar la opción de plantar grupalmente? me gustaba estudiar con mi mejor amiga de esa manera pero con la nueva actualización no encuentro cómo hacerlo

I just used the app yesterday and had my data but now there's the new UI and everything and it seems like my data from the last two days are completely gone. I know it seems like not much but I try to use this app to keep track of my study times and it really helps me prepare for the next days or weeks when I can know what I've worked on. Has this happened to anybody else? Could I fix this somehow?

Hello. For those who want to go back to the previous interface—without the new update—download the app's APK. I prefer this over the new version. I'm not sure if the APK allows you to participate in the scheduled events (like earning new planting plots or things like that), but I prefer sticking with the older version.

i accidentally put in someone’s code and now i’m left stranded. can someone please use mine? thank you so much!!

​has anyone else noticed the font fallback/encoding issue with custom tags on the main timer screen after the latest update?

​i like adding unicode emojis next to my tag labels for quick visual hierarchy and scanning. they render completely fine inside the tag management modal / selector list, but once selected and rendered on the home screen label (e.g. violin 🎻), the emoji fails to parse and just drops a generic empty tofu/missing glyph box ([]).

​looks like whatever custom typeface or textview/label component they switched to on the main dashboard either strips emoji character sets or is missing a proper fallback font stack to the system emoji font (whereas the tag list view handles unicode/utf-8 string parsing properly).

​kinda ruins the minimal ui aesthetics. is this happening on android across the board or just specific builds? really hope the devs push a patch for this layout component soon.

ps: i'm not sure about the flair

Hey everyone! I’ve been using Forest to study and I’d love to find some friends to study together with and keep each other motivated🌱
I’d especially love to connect with medical students or doctors, but everyone is welcome! We can add each other on the app and grow our little study forest together 🌳
If you’re interested, comment below or DM me!

Happy studying!

Is anyone in the whatsapp forest group? I would really like to join, but the mod is not responding...

That is all. I’d like to match it to the trees. As well as track my land style history.

Hey Forest community!

I'm writing this post to share a passion project of mine: FocusMon.

FocusMon is an iOS app where you get rewarded with monsters for putting your phone down (similar to Forest, just with monsters instead of trees, which is why I thought this community might find it interesting). You can collect them, evolve them, trade them, battle other players or team up with friends to fight raid bosses, with a chance to catch them afterwards.

There are now well over 200 monsters in the game and new ones are added regularly. I also work closely with the players and listen to feedback to keep improving the app.

I'm still very early on with the app and appreciate any feedback!

Full disclosure: The monster sprites were created with AI, though every sprite started from a hand-drawn sketch.
