    …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.

    Bloomz: 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 complaint
  • user·52e8App Store (English storefronts)App Store US/School communication·23 Mar 2026·Complaintsource ↗

    …elling me I need to log into the app each time to view the messages. I emailed support with the feature request and they said they won’t do it due to “privacy”. BS. I get push notifications from every other app on my phone this is no excuse.

    …eachers & Schools — Horrible app There are so many bugs on this app. Notifications are broken to the point the app always says you have one. We’re actively looking for a replacement at our school.

    Bloomz: For Teachers & Schools — New updates are terrible Please sort out this app! I really like the modern look but it seems the update was not ready and maybe was rushed. It’s been extremely unreliable as a communication platform.
