Redesign rant

Redesign rant

As a person struggling with burnout, fatigue and who is also using Forest for shaping my attention and energy levels, I can't believe they changed end of Focus interaction from one simple tap to 3 taps :( When I use Forest, my brain is already fried, and it's really difficult to manage those extra taps :( I don't want additional "rewards", my desired reward is less taps on the phone

Forest Study Group

Hey y'all, we have a study group for group sessions on Telegram. DM me if you want to be added. If you study 6-8 hours daily or focus 40-50 hours weekly, it will be even better.

I want serious members who are consistent. Please DM me if you are interested, and I'll share the QR

pineapple code😭

Guys this person had a post with their code for the pineapple event and now they’ve left me high and dry and deleted their post (and not contributed to my lil pineapple home) despite me racking up almost 5hrs today😭😭😭

Is there anyway I can get rid of their invite code from my event?

It was my mistake, should’ve double checked but I was hoping ppl were more just😭

Forest Alternative: What do you care about?

Hi, I got annoyed by all the features forest has by know. I loved the app and it helped me through my maths degree, but now I want to bring it back to the roots. I will follow up with an update soon. For now I'd like to know what users care about in terms of features so I can reduce it to the bare minimum. The ones I had in mind where:

- Block other selected Apps.

- Some variation in trees to choose from (at launch we will have 5 made by an artist/friend of mine)

- Looking at your forest.

- Basic Statistics (total plant time, monthly study history, etc.)

- Some form of progression (I am leaning towards unlocking more trees based on total study time, no currencies, no shop, no loot boxes.)

- Plant with friends (will be available in a later version as I need to figure out how to host this on a server with appropriate data security)

Please let me know what you think of these and if you find anything else "essential"? Thank you for your feedback!

Can you help me with my planting?

I've been put on the plants by planting time, but it still ends up all messy and not uniform. How do you create those beautiful forest designs?

buggy iOS app

Anyone else's app buggy?

I can't get to Summer Focus Fest or Invite & Get Rewards page without getting errors. It only works about 1 out of 10 tries.

Syncing devices also takes forever.

The daily challenges page takes multiple tries to get synced from today's progress, and receiving rewards takes multiple tries after system errors.

I appreciate Forest dev team adding new content, but I wish the app was less buggy every time they release something new.

Please fix the bugs, add regular trees to buy with coins and crystals, and beta-test the new features before the official release.

Alternatives Suggestion

Well I loved forest app for a long time but in past couple of years forest app is unrecogniseable like it went from very minimal and thoughtful UI to on of the most cluttered Ui I have ever experienced (Feels like a Chinese super app where the ui very cluttered). So I'm here asking if anybody has any good suggestions for alternative I would say an app that's:

Minimal, Rich Stats, ability to plant together with friends would be great.

Thank You

Partnering up for Pineapple plant & land style

Edit: ❗Quoting Forest, ‘There is no deadline for the Pineapple Tree event. It is a long-term feature.’

Disclaimer: I will do the whole 50 hours in a sincere way, i.e. only planting to focus or to time certain tasks. So it may take 3 weeks (at most) for my buddy to finally get the land style. If anyone’s okay with it, we can exchange codes in DMs. I’ve also submitted a support ticket asking Forest whether there’s a deadline for this event. Will report back once they reply.
