…class. This app is a nightmare to try to upload pictures or any pdf. The only reason we use it is because of the teacher but I HATE it. There are better things out there to communicate. It freezes a lot that I have to shut it down and restart but then I try again and same bs. It’s so FRUSTRATING!!!!
Strong complaintFrustrated…just email me with any updates or call me in the place of emergency. I hate this app, and would give it zero stars if I could.
Strong complaintBloomz: For Teachers & Schools — Hate it I really hate this app. The first time you open it nothing happens. You have to exit clear out the app and go back into it for it to load. Notifications suck. You get a notification but doesn’t tell you what for so you have to sit and go through everything just to make it go…
Wishes it existedStrong complaintBloomz: For Teachers & Schools — I hate this app This app NEVER works properly! I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall because it stops syncing and I can’t get any updates. Now I can’t get it to work at all, and sending in an issue via the app is a complete waste of time. If I wasn’t forced to use this by my…
Strong complaintWastes time…unky App This app is trying to do too much and it’s just not good. The update from last month is terrible. And now every message I am sending is hidden with another message that says “please update your app”. Yet in the App Store there is no update available.

Questions about this idea
- Is App crashes and notifications fail a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 42 different people described it independently, in 42 mentions, the earliest from 26 Oct 2017 and the most recent from 01 Sept 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: quiet — no new posts in the last 60 days. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Bloomz app seems to be causing a lot of frustration, especially with notifications that don't tell you what they're for. We've heard from 28 people about issues like these, and it sounds like a real headache. If you've switched to another app for school communication, did it actually solve these problems?
