Amazing pick me up!!
I’ve been using this app for a few months now and I really love it. I do the daily video in the morning and it’s a great start to my day. Especially after the update. I really appreciate the changes they’ve made. It feels more in depth and more personal now. And they finally save everything that you’re writing in the app which I was mad they didn’t do before. Honestly it’s great and I love all the little practices you can do. Definitely have recommend this app to other people too. I’ve done a lot of therapy in this past year and this app is a great thing to have daily to ground myself and do some work in between sessions.Show lesswidelegjean
Good, and...
The Good: The videos definitely help calm me and create mental space for me. Love the simple science shared about the techniques used. Definitely helps to understand what’s happening with my body and what the actionable steps are I can take to help myself.
Needs Improvement:
1. The recent update (Sept 2020) has the app crashing every time I get to the part in the video where it asks me what I want to work on today. I literally can’t use the daily bloom video session... 2. Prior to update the app had glitched during a few videos skipping past the ability to make entries even though it asks you to. Can’t go back to it without doing whole video session again.
3. It doesn’t save all my entries, only some and they’re not all consistent of what ones it saves. I took good notes on what actions I could take for one video and they’re nowhere to be found. Bummer.
4. It says I’ve unlocked new exercises but there is nowhere to access them. While o did contact their help team, they said this feature to access these is not something that is available yet. Interesting to offer an inaccessible feature. Plus side is Elizabeth was super friendly and prompt to help.
4. You cannot drag the video player forward or back if you want to skip past something (app crashes and you have to start video session all over again), or want to repeat something.Show lesskss.stricker
Glitchy but great tool otherwise!
I’ve been loving this app and have suggested it to my friends and family. I love all the tools that are able to be used and directed towards what you’re feeling that day. The calming music when opening the app is also a major plus. The only problem I have is it can be glitchy. Sometimes it won’t let you start the video or it will skip questions/journaling prompts. I also would suggest a reminder of what was gone over the day before since we get asked that question each session and as someone with short term memory loss due to my depression/anxiety, I never remember what we did the previous session immediately. Otherwise, great app and definitely will keep utilizing this throughout the year!Show lessmsflowers92
Mostly great!
I sent an email about this also. This app is definitely heading a good direction. I am
a CBT-focused therapist and constantly looking for tools to offer my
clients. The one thing that I feel requires an immediate fix is the lack of transparency around pricing IN THE APP SETTINGS. I can dig around and find it, but people shouldn't have to do that. I'm noticing a few comments in the same vein here. When I'm using an app-based service of any kind that in some way or some version requires payment, I should be able to go into the settings for payment and billing info to see what, when, how I am being charged. Any company that stands behind it's product should feel comfortable with this. I actually really believe in this app and can't understand why Bloom wouldn't do that. Please don't add a stressor to users that may already be dealing with financial anxiety. Part of accessibility is affordability and being able to access that information in a timely, transparent way.Show lessPngwnlvr
I love making room to BLOOM !
This app has been the perfect new addition to my self care practice. I love setting aside the time in my day to check in with ME and assess my wellbeing. It’s well worth the 5/10 minute investment. The self awareness and the opportunity to write it down on a consistent basis and then also track the information, see trends, etc. is NEXT LEVEL and I love it! Our virtual therapist instantly puts me in a state of calm and I feel like we’re really having a conversation because the prompts and responses flow together so well. It makes the process easy to digest, fun, and most importantly easy to retain and apply in daily life. I’m excited to keep using this app and would encourage any friend to also give it a try! Could be exactly what you’re missing in living your life in full BLOOM !Show lesscurrently blooming
