Forest: Focus for Productivity App Reviews

i have been using the forest app for years now + it has always helped me stay on track + keep focus ! it’s a great app for everyone regardless of school-level or work ! i have even used it to track when i’m working on clubs or hobbies !

Me está ayudando realmente a dejar mi celular de una manera entretenida.

Keeps me focused

It honestly keeps me so focused

Love the app! You should get it too.

A simple concept that helps motivate productivity. Creates a gamified reward system for being productive and creates a much needed barrier that prevents distractions.

The app has helped motivate me to study for longer periods of time. The deep focus option is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a study app. If you struggle with getting distracted by your device easily, this is the app for you.

Forest has greatly increased my productivity!

Forest has helped me alot.

Just starting out, will update!

I love this app so much! I recommend you get this app!!!

I need a way to focus since my ADHD is making things challenging. I tried a similar program that was available on PCs years ago and it was helpful. A pity this is only a phone app or not available on Windows devices.

I love the app, it’s so adorable to look at when studying

I just bought the app and use it a lot. It is good. Highly recommend

This app is super motivating to me. As a high schooler, I feel super stressed when it come to doing homework. But Forest keeps me motivated.

Just downloaded the app so I’m not too sure about it but so far has been increasing my productivity so much.

Para concentrarse no puedo perdir nada mas

As I started college I have had a constant struggle staying focused. I would always use my phone rather than utilizing my off time. This app has helped me tremendously, love having something to work towards as I study. That fact that the tree dies when you get out of the app is a great way to redirect the brain to your studies. Not only is it a good timer but you can save up in-game coins to plant REAL TREES!!! A superb app for students.

I’ve been using this app for three years and it’s the sole thing that motivates me to get things done. I love love love it.

Reminds me of the promodoro technique but with cute visuals of a little forest that helps motivate me to continue studying and plant more trees. It would be a neat feature to add the possibility of planting a real tree after you reach certain amount of time studying though! Nevertheless, very helpful with studying and time management :)

This app has helped me so much. As a junior college student who gets distracted so easily, I owe my completed assignments to the Forest App. Today alone, I’ve studied for 5 hours and gotten so much done thanks to wanting to keep my tree alive. If you struggle with concentration…just get it already. You’ll love it!

Really increases productivity

I use this with my brother and it is fun to compete!!

just writing this for the free coral plant

absolutely wonderful! Amazing for staying on task with an appealing background and noises! Great for work and stufying!

I've done timer methods in the past but they haven't worked for me because i would simply ignore the timer. Now if I leave the app to try and use my phone i get punished by the withering of my tree and it stays there as a monument to my lack of commitment. This app arms itself with this to make you actually focus. I like it very nice!

Very simple and beautiful. Easy to use

It actually helps you stay focused!

Revisiting this review to say-still a consistent user, still love the app, LOVE the new forest species you come up with- but still would like a wider variety of sounds! I just need a little reminder not to automatically pick up my phone and this app does the trick! Using the sounds helps as a reminder. I’d love to have a larger choice of sounds! Maybe peepers? Or some kind of simple music- piano, violin etc.

One of my favorite writers (Sarah Rhea Werner) recently posted about Forest in her newsletter and talked about what a great tool it had been in terms of focus. I downloaded immediately and have loved ever since! Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep planting trees while I focus.

You can get points for staying focused and buy cute trees to spice out ur forest…so cute, so fun, so effective. This is coming from someone with major focus issues when it comes to my phone. Love it!!

Bought it a long time ago, not even sure how much it was, but whatever the price was it was worth it.

Planting trees helps me focus on the task at hand.

Love this app. I am amazed at how excited I am to just plant trees.

You could use it as a pomodoro, or a regular timer for work, keep track of everything very easily.

This app is so great! The fact that my actions can have a real world impact through this app is really motivating me to stay focused on a way I hadn’t thought possible

sweet, simple, and cute

We need more plants, trees, flowers etc.. there are very few only.

Recomendada para concentrarse, la opción de concentración profunda es perfecta para dejar de usar el móvil!

The Forest app has been helpful in keeping me away from scrolling through my phone when I need to be working. I love that I’m rewarded by watching my trees grow. Great productivity app for anyone who needs a little encouragement! 🌲

I recommend anyone who cannot stay focused for anything longer than 5 minutes to pick up this app and begin using it. The interface is simple to understand and rewarding you for doing the work you must do!! 5/5!

That’s a super application for focusing. Good job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I really love this app!

I’ve been using it while studying and I’ll pick up my phone for distraction and seeing the app makes me throw the phone away and stay focus

Helps focus on not using my phone
