### 1/5 — Unable to add more classroom

*2026-08-13, version 6.2.7*

I click on bottom right + sign, but the screen does not pop up from
Bottom only small window can be seen at bottom thats trying to open

### 1/5 — Select Most Recent

*2026-05-14, version 6.2.3*

I’m glad my son is switching schools finally, the Bloomz app has to be the least ok out of all the bad apps including parent square.  Why do I still get text instead of notifications on the app? Why is it that I must go to the
School website to figure out dates for events/ early outs/ open houses. I really think it has to do with the operators.  Unfortunately this is what I’m receiving as the awful service.

### 1/5 — New update ruined the app

*2026-05-12, version 6.2.3*

Unfortunately, since this app updated to include more features such as AI. It hasn’t worked well since. I’ve completed all the troubleshooting recommended over several months and I’m just done trying. Images are blurry. Videos load incredibly slow. None of this was an issue before the app updated to its newest features. I’ll be moving to class dojo instead.

### 1/5 — Messages don’t send

*2026-05-01, version 6.2.3*

Clicking send doesn’t mean that people will get your message. You’ll find it in drafts hours later when you wonder why no response from your teacher.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-05-01, version 6.2.3*

Really wish this app worked like Class Dojo, it takes forever to load, and it has constant issues. Like right now, nothing loads, not even the message threads and I was expecting a message from the teacher, but now I can’t even get the message, also don’t like that we can’t communicate with other parents. All in all, it’s very subpar for a charter school app.

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2026-04-17, version 6.2.0*

Never opens on the first attempt, crashes often, and notifications inconsistent

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2026-04-09, version 6.1.9*

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 away and usually it pretty much nothing. At most it’s because you have to click on to see who it was sent to which is dumb. Please fix these issues and make it more user friendly. I wish the school didn’t have to have a contact with this app for the next few years so that they could just ditch it and use something better.

### 1/5 — Terrible School App

*2026-03-23, version 6.1.8*

This is by far the worst app that I am forced to use with my kid’s class.  Why are they incapable of just putting the content of the message into the push notification?  I get push notifications and emails telling 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.

### 2/5 — Very slow and laggy

*2026-03-12, version 6.1.8*

Serves its purpose, but the app is very slow and laggy… not great for urgent matters

### 1/5 — THE WORST!

*2026-03-10, version 6.1.7*

Absolutely the WORST app schools/sports teams can use. I would give it zero stars if I could. It’s extremely difficult to navigate. Almost impossible to find previous messages. It’s just awful. I wish my kids’ schools and sports teams would choose a different app because this one is just outrageously horrible! Not being dramatic. Just fed up!
