I’ve been using it for 3 years now; however, over the past 6 months or so the app is incredibly glitchy- it shuts down in the middle of meditations, the audio cuts out even though the video continues to roll. It’s very disappointing and I wish the tech team could address these issues so that I can continue enjoying the app. ### 4/5 — Love this app! *2024-05-02, version 2.6.0* There is a lot of meditation to choose from. Depending on your needs. The music also keeps play if your not ready to leave your meditation. Only down fall in that all the meditation are in one long line and you can get lost in picking one with the right amount of time. Be great if they separate these into times. But it is the best medication app I have used. Love it!!! ### 3/5 — Not as happy *2022-02-02, version 2.6.0* It’s not as good as it use to be I like when the app gave you exercises mediation and things to do every day that doesn’t happen anymore . Not enjoying it as much anymore ### 3/5 — Great app overall but caution *2021-11-09* I got this app for the journal feature and sleep mediations. The journal is pretty good. I actually quite like it but wish it would come up automatically instead of having to search for it. The main problem I’m having is that once I’m done journaling, bloom displays as ‘now playing’ as if a video or audio is currently playing and I need to pause it. Except pausing doesn’t work and I have to force close the app. This happens every single time I open it. I never thought much of it until last night when I did a ten minute sleep meditation before bed. When I woke up, my phone was dead. It was at 75% before the mediation. My sleep tracker on my watch says my phone died about three hours after falling asleep. I can generally go to bed with it as low at 30% and wake up with at least 10% Beware if use your phone as an alarm. You can’t trust this app not to drain the battery. I also can’t seem to find any way to report this. Checked all over the app, App Store and developer website but all lead to dead ends. Not sure if I will keep it when half of what I want to use it for isn’t able to be used. ### 2/5 — How terrible *2021-09-20, version 2.3.1* Honestly I was so excited to download then it wouldn’t open and when it does opened nothing worked such a shame So dissapionted🙁😔 ### 2/5 — Keeps exiting app *2021-07-08, version 2.2.5* Really enjoy bloom when it works, keeps logging out & taking me to phone Home Screen ### 3/5 — Loved it better before *2021-07-05, version 2.2.5* I would have given this app 5 stars before but since Chloe and Molly handed it over to the app developers to pursue their other website the app has changed for the worse. The layout is harder to navigate, the new meditations are hard to listen to. I felt I could relate more to the people doing the original meditation and especially with the Australian accent This feels too robotic and fake. I’ve also noticed there is suddenly a massive influx of paid influencer posts promoting bloom which was never something the girls did before and it all feels too commercialised now. An app that was purely for wellness and something the girls created as their first baby now feels like it’s all for the money and has been taken over by a big corporate giant instead. It’s really upsetting. I will stick to the original meditations. ### 3/5 — Bring back the old guided meditations *2021-06-29, version 2.2.4* I really like this app overall, but recently all of the new “Bloom Meditation” guided meditations are led by this robotic monotoned voice which is not relaxing at all! It sounds like they are computer generated. They all sound exactly the same and there is no emotion or personality whatsoever. The older guided meditations were led by a range of different people and they were much better!! Please bring those back! ### 3/5 — Please go back to the original format of the app!! *2021-04-19, version 2.1.24* I adore this app and all the content provided but what made this app so amazing was the serenity of the lotus tree and the ease of use. I find the app quite confusing to use now and not as straight forward as it previously was. I loved the lotus tree feature and how you could earn lotus flowers for your tree it was just such a beautiful aspect of the app and made it more interactive in my opinion. I also really liked how you could be given tasks to do in order to earn your lotus flowers and crystals it just made me much more motivated to use the app and engage in wellness it was just so straight forward especially on the days where you feel a bit flat and unmotivated, but that aspect seems to have disappeared. It was also much easier to navigate and log your moods on the old format I liked how everything was clearly set out instead of in the contents page in the top corner of the new format. I just find the overall experience and essence of the app a bit clinical and similar to other wellness and meditation apps like Headspace. Even just the calming music opening the app seems to be gone which has definitely impacted the overall experience for me. ### 2/5 — Flowers and progression gone *2020-12-28, version 2.1.8* I miss the progression and working towards getting flowers. I found this was a huge point of difference from other apps and held me accountable to use it everyday. I now find I don’t use it as often. Very sad ### 1/5 — Disappointed in contact service *2020-12-12, version 2.1.8* I downloaded the app and paid for a one year subscription, I cancelled after two months as my daughter wasn’t using it, I’ve since been charged for another year of subscription, I’ve tried to email for a refund but keep getting passed on to others as no one wants to help. I’m disappointed that it has been this hard to get the matter dealt with or anyone to listen. ### 1/5 — New format doesn’t work for me. *2020-12-02, version 2.1.5* This was a beautiful app and made me accountable for my practice by blooming lotus flowers etc. I find the new upgrade clunky and less engaging now that you aren’t earning progress towards flowers and crystals. I also don’t get the addition of meditation by kids. I’ve tried numerous times to get used to the changes but can safely say once this subscription runs out I’ll be swapping to insight timer. ### 1/5 — Disappointed.. *2020-11-22, version 2.1.5* I was so excited to try this app, however I was disappointed to find out that you have to pay for it, and it isn’t cheap either with prices starting from $15 a month. Not worth it in my opinion. ### 4/5 — New update *2020-11-19, version 2.1.4* I love this app so much it has helped me so much more than I ever thought it would! I use it everyday and every night before bed!!! The new update is also great but I find that I am missing small features such as logging my mood and specific things being assigned each day to what I log! This was a big thing for me with the app as I felt some achievement completing all the daily tasks! Hopefully you guys can bring this back in the future! Otherwise amazing !!! ### 1/5 — App is messed up *2020-11-09, version 2.0.4* Having to sign in every time is beyond annoying ### 4/5 — RECOMMEND! *2020-10-19, version 2.0.3* I recommend this app almost daily to clients in my hairdressing salon. We all need a reminder daily to breathe, reflect and really take some time to realign ourselves! ✨ My only feedback is recently I’ve gone to open my app and it won’t load, more so since I’ve updated. I would like to see a way to watch more then one yoga pose at a time (maybe I missed that part if it’s already a thing, someone teach me!) also someway to have the meditations with a timer as I love listening to them when I fall asleep and I’ve worked my way through all the ambient sounds!! Love love love! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Keeps Crashing During Meditation *2025-07-18, version 2.6.0* I really want to enjoy the meditations on Bloom, but every time I start one, the app kicks me out after about 2 minutes. It’s frustrating and makes it impossible to complete a session. I’ve tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but the issue keeps happening. Please fix this – I’d love to keep using Bloom, but it’s not working right now. ### 1/5 — Help! *2024-05-07, version 2.6.0* I got charged automatically of $95 and am wanting to refund I have proof but I didn’t expect it to automatically do it I was trying out the free trial. ### 1/5 — Be upfront with cost!! *2022-09-22, version 2.6.0* Terrible that you gave to download to find out it’s going to cost $86.99 a year to use! Not impressed! ### 1/5 — Very faulty *2021-11-13, version 2.5.0* I’m so disappointed with this app. Purchased a week ago and it’s been nothing but problems; sometimes the app doesn’t open, freezes on ‘loading background’, opens on ‘current mood’ and freezes and stops meditations half way. I can’t believe I paid for this. Have unsubscribed and do not recommend :( ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2021-09-25, version 2.4.0* Can’t use this app for more than a few months without it deciding to stop working randomly. Over all the constant crashes and glitches. ### 1/5 — don’t waste your money *2021-09-17, version 2.3.1* one meditation told me to “envision a baby coming out of a sunflower”! i can’t exactly be mindful when i am laughing about how ridiculous that is! the other meditations weren’t much better. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2021-07-04, version 2.2.5* App keeps closing itself before it even gets past the initial loading screen ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2021-06-16, version 2.2.2* App won’t even open after update, I’ve deleted and downloaded multiple times. Please fix this ASAP it’s been a month. I love your app so much and use it every day. 😞 ### 1/5 — Still stuck even after update *2021-06-01, version 2.2.2* Previously got stuck on a loading gi and now stuck on loading backgrounds. Subscription rolls over in a few days and will likely unsubscribe if not fixed by then.. a shame really. Have enjoyed using it, was looking forward to having my flower progression again too ### 1/5 — Broken *2021-05-28, version 2.2.0* Can’t even get into the app since the new update.... just stays on the loading screen for ever. Waste of money 🙄 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing & life changing *2021-08-15, version 2.3.0* Bloom app is by far one of my favourite apps. It’s easy to use and covers all aspects of wellness. It has helped me so much. ### 5/5 — WOW DOWNLOAD ASAP *2021-07-31* I stumbled upon this app because I was entering a giveaway for a 3 night stay in Greece and one of the tasks was to download this app. I was curious when I saw this app because I suffer with anxiety every now and then due to a very heavy workload recently. so I signed up and started navigating through. First of all, the calming music that greets you as soon as you open the app is such a great touch!!! The easy navigation made it simple for me to discover what the app has to offer. My favorite is the gratitude mediation. I often forget to stop , unwind, and meditate so it’s very helpful and calming. Will definitely be recommending this app to my friends and family!! A must download! ### 5/5 — Really helps! *2021-07-26* I’ve been trying to get better with self care and daily things to help me get into more of a routine, this app really is helping me with that. I didn’t know about it before Jake and Marie talked about it, but I’m so glad they did. I feel like with the alerts I’ll be sure to have a healthy daily routine down in no time! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app but hate the new update *2020-11-29, version 2.1.5* I love this app and have been using it since it launched. I’m rating it five stars because I honestly do use it every day and have had a really positive experience with it. I think it’s great for getting people into practising mindfulness and it’s amazing for anxiety, I have really enjoyed Dayas kundalini and find it really helps me. However I really do not like the recent update, I feel like it’s so hard to navigate through the app now and the overall layout is definitely not as aesthetically pleasing as it was prior. I feel like the old version was so much more enjoyable to use, I loved the little lotus tree feature and I think visually the app design was beautiful. To me personally what helps me deal with anxiety is visuals, so the old app was perfect for that it really got me out of my head and got me to concentrate on something else. It was so much easier to track moods and progress before and also to save things as a favourite and they would be at the top of the list whereas now it doesn’t do that anymore? I also loved the daily moon astrology which seems to be gone as well? There are so many amazing things about this app but overall to me functionality is very important, I genuinely have to enjoy using an app to want to use it everyday and pay for it and to be honest this new update makes me want to cancel my subscription. ### 5/5 — Simply Amazing! *2020-09-15, version 2.0.1* I have been using the Bloom app since the beginning of this year and couldn’t be more satisfied. The visual layout/design of the app is gorgeous and its features are even better! I look forward to completing my daily mediations, and participating in these has bettered my mental health and sleeping patterns dramatically. I have become in-touch with myself in a way that I had never thought possible. I would recommend this app to absolutely anyone! 💜 ### 5/5 — “I can’t meditate” *2020-08-08, version 2.0.1* This make is SO much easier and more practical to start! ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2020-08-06, version 2.0.1* Love Bloom. I use the meditations daily and fall asleep to one of the ambience tracks most nights. Love love love it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-08-04, version 2.0.1* I only got the app last night and I’m already loving it. It’s so motivating and exactly what I need right now at this stage in my life, highly recommend. Plus, $89 for a year subscription is pretty good I think. I had another meditation app that wasn’t as great for $139 a year, so good value for money I feel! ### 5/5 — So glad I downloaded *2020-05-21* I’m loving this app. It’s got so many awesome resources for meditation, affirmations, and ambient sounds. There is so much in this app!! Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2020-05-17, version 1.8* I struggle with anxiety and it is always at its worst when I’m in bed trying to sleep. I over think and fidget and spend hours trying to fall asleep. The first time I used Bloom I did a nighttime meditation, and was asleep within less than 10 minutes. I could not recommend this app more highly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
