  • So over this app!

    As a teacher, I paid $125 to use this service for this school year. This app is so glitchy! When trying to send messages on my phone to my classroom parents, it constantly catches me in some weird loop where I cannot edit nor can I send the message I’m writing. This is beyond frustration. Please fix.
  • Bad App

    I cannot stand this app. It’s so glitchy. Things get hidden and lost. If it’s a lengthy update, it gets cut off. I have to scroll and scroll to find what I’m looking for. It frequently won’t let me back to the top of a reply if I need to edit it. I don’t see messages for days, sometimes. As a parent, I wish our school would go back to the old app.
  • No Bloomz parent app?

    I need to download the parents app to Bloomz on my IPhone 14 but it seems that the only Bloomz app available here in the App Store is the Bloomz teacher& school app. Why would a developer only add 1 without the other? The two should go together. Kinda inconvenient for us parents.
  • Need to be able to easily delete messages

    App is okay but what I find not useful are: - messages sent from other parents that come to everyone and you can’t delete them. Or if you can, it’s not easily done. - app crashes at times
  • Program is great - app is lousy

    Following the 12/31/23 update, this app no longer works on my devices whatsoever. I can no longer open the app. I can’t delete it, roll back updates, offload it, nothing. Every time I try, my phone shuts down. Great.
  • Halfway working

    I initially thought it was working good for a while. Now I have a hard time uploading media or photos and some updates seems to be out of whack. Hope to see some improvements soon. This rating is subject to be changed of course but as of now I wouldn’t be able to use the app fully as intended.
  • Can’t do much at all

    Can’t upload photos effectively. Won’t let me rename albums. Super slow and I paid over $30
  • Notification Issues

    By Melray1228
    After opening messages from parents, I will continually have a badge notification on the app. This is very frustrating.
  • Lacks consistency

    Well I’m stuck - finally get all our parents and children using the app only to have constant issues. Staff not being able to see or send messages, android platform keeps failing and children’s portfolios go completely missing. All of these issues have been “troubleshoot” with the support staff. But they keep happening. So I either have to get all our parents on a new app (which is a struggle) or keep dealing with this hot mess.
