Customers frequently praise the app for its ease of use, clear interface, and user-friendly design, making it simple to contribute to environmental efforts daily. Many appreciate the concept of planting trees by watching short ads, finding it a rewarding and impactful way to make a difference.

This used to be such an amazing app…

This used to be such an amazing app with sustainable product adverts. Unfortunately it has changed to watching gaming adverts which I feel is the complete opposite of what their users want. Plus it is now impossible to reach 100% every month without buying more trees which is messed up as my carbon footprint has actually reduced on what it was… Once again another great app has made changes for the worse.

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for your feedback.

Regarding your first point, we have indeed integrated third-party ads into our app for multiple reasons. Firstly, our mission is to allow anyone, anywhere to contribute to the reforestation of our planet and have a positive impact. As we continue to scale to additional countries, we need to find more ways to continue making sure it’s possible, all while remaining free for you.

This allows us to safeguard revenue for our operations, regardless of the demand for advertisement per country, through our platform, and ensure that all trees planted will receive the care they need in order to fully grow. We understand that some of these ads might not be the most interesting, but we're doing everything possible to improve your experience.

As for your second point, we completely understand why seeing a change in your carbon absorption figures could be worrying. At the start of this year, we made a small update to how contributions from ads are calculated. This was done to better reflect the real, on-the-ground cost of planting trees responsibly, including fair wages, long-term maintenance, and planting in remote locations where restoration is most needed.

We’ve written a blog that explains this in more detail and shares why these changes are important for keeping tree planting free and sustainable in the long term. Feel free to visit our blog article below for more information:
https://www.thetreeapp.org/blog/2026-01-15-keeping-tree-planting-free-fair-and-sustainable/

Please reach out to us at hello@thetreeapp.org if you have any additional questions.

Best regards,
Dimitris

Ruined by recent changes

Recent changes have ruined the app, and in general the aim of what they wanted to do. You no longer get interesting sponsored adverts from ethical organisations, they've been completely binned in favour of generic mobile game adverts. Would be nice if these still counted the same, but they don't. The tree "count" does not refer to actual trees, but rather an imaginary amount of trees you "may" be "contributing" towards. Plus as of 2026 they've now made the 100% planting goal completely impossible to achieve just by watching ads. The goal is now around 3x the amount you can gain just from ads, so they want you to make up the rest by purchasing more trees or paying for their subscription. Feels like a predatory way to guilt-trip people into taking the subscription, rather than just offering it to people who simply wanted to do more. Now you're being made to feel like it's inadequate unless you do it. Greedy, and shameless tactics that feels more like mobile shovelware than actually being an ethical company. After 1600+ trees "planted", I'll be uninstalling this now sadly as it's simply nothing like what it used to be.

Edit: Their response is 100% copy/pasted from where they also plonk it on other places like the app store. They didn't make a "slight change" to how the carbon footprint is calculated, they purposefully made it impossible to achieve without one-off payments or taking out a subscription. They didn't just add third-party ads, they completely removed the original sponsored ads which was half the point of the app. They're making the app worse, whilst now also engineering it to guilt people into spending more money at the same time. Nothing about that comes across as an ethical and honest company. There's clearly been some change in tactic, and it's ruined the purpose of the whole thing.

This was done to better reflect the real, on-the-ground, fluctuating cost of planting trees responsibly, including fair wages, long-term maintenance, and planting in remote locations.

While some users might not be able to reach 100% carbon absorption through free planting, each user has the opportunity to participate in global efforts and empower local communities, as the benefits of tree planting are not only reduced to individual carbon absorption.

Best regards,
Dimitris

Easy to use app

Easy to use app. I was wary of it being a scam but it does appear to do exactly what it says - you watch an ad on the app and they plant a tree. The app is clear, user friendly and simple to use. No obligation to buy anything. Has become part of my daily routine. I especially like the notification reminders. Not pushy but reminds me to do it each day.

Great app

What is not to like! Ir is the first thing I do in the morning, I wake up and I plant a tree! Super user friendly and easy to use. Some of the ads recently have been really annoying but mostly I don't pay attention to them!

Fantastic app

Fantastic app! I recommend it to everyone. It’s great that you can take the carbon quiz to find out your emissions and then the amount or trees that will help to offset it.
