The old version was so simple and effective, with gentle monitisation. It was quick to use and didn't distract you when you are trying to get into focus mode. The new version feels like the opposite, monitisation and engagement are the focus, every UI transition is too long and flashy, it's full of things I just don't need. My previous payment for pro version has been disregarded and replaced by a tree and some sand, brilliant... thanks. App uninstalled and now searching for a replacement.

We’re truly sorry the new experience feels distracting and that your Pro purchase seems disregarded. Your Pro status remains permanent. We also appreciate your long-term support and UI feedback. Forest Team

I got the app around 2-3 years ago and after my motivation sky rocketed, I was happy to pay the £1.99 for the pro version. A few months ago, I saw that they had put out a subscription, which I didn't bother with as pro has everything I needed. Now pretty much everything is locked behind the subscription and a useless UI that is incredibly difficult to use. This app used to be so great, shame to see the company's greed ruin it.

i've used this app off and on for over a decade and debated leaving this review, but it's SO disappointing that they moved from a one-time payment to a subscription. i specifically "reward" apps that have a one-time payment by buying them, so it's not fair on me or any other forest pro user that there's now paywalls in the app, despite us buying the product.

We hear your frustration and truly appreciate your decade of support. Your one-time Pro purchase remains permanently valid; you don’t need Plus to keep your Pro status. Please check your account type in Settings, and contact support@seekrtech.com if it doesn’t show Pro. Forest Team
