My favorite part about the app is that it gives me statistics about how many trees I’ve grown, at what times, etc. Once you’ve collected enough coins, you can spend them either by buying new types of trees or bushes, or, if you’re premium, you can spend them in-game on the “Real Forest” app, after which Forest donates to Trees for the Future, a tree-planting organization. With every tree grown you receive a certain amount of coins.
If you don’t want to kill your tree, you need to remain focused/not use your phone until the time is up! Some apps can be whitelisted, a feature you can customize to your liking. You press on “plant”, and from that moment on, your tree starts growing! In case you open your phone, the tree will encourage you to get back to work, for example by saying “Stop phubbing!”. Depending on the amount of time you select, your tree will be small or large. The idea is that you decide how long you’d like to stay focused and not use your phone. How do you grow a tree? By not using your phone! How does it work? You build a (virtual) tree!
The premise of the app is fairly straightforward: “Stay focused, be present.”
