Bloom is the AI-powered study notebook that turns your lectures, videos, and documents into organized study materials — automatically. Stop re-listening to recordings. Stop making notes by hand. Stop cramming the night before an exam. Bloom does the heavy lifting so you can focus on what actually matters: learning. RECORD & CAPTURE ANYTHING • Record live lectures directly in the app — one tap to start, one tap to stop • Upload audio files (MP3, M4A, WAV, and more) • Scan documents and PDFs with your camera • Paste any YouTube or web link and extract key content • Draw and write handwritten notes on a digital canvas AI THAT ACTUALLY STUDIES FOR YOU Bloom uses advanced AI to transform your captured content into: • Smart Notes — structured summaries with headings, bullet points & key terms • Flashcards — swipe-to-flip Q&A pairs with spaced repetition • Quizzes — multiple choice, true/false & fill-in-the-blank with answer keys • Study Guides — condensed 1–2 page exam review sheets • Mind Maps — visual concept trees to see the big picture MULTI-FILE AI STUDY MODE Bloom's killer feature: select multiple recordings, PDFs, and notes from an entire semester and generate ONE unified study guide, flashcard deck, or quiz that covers everything. Perfect for midterms and finals. STAY ORGANIZED • Create folders and subfolders by subject and semester • Color-code your folders • Search across all your notes instantly • Grid and list views for your library SUPPORTS 6+ LANGUAGES English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian. APP PURPOSE & VALUE Bloom has special focus on supporting students with learning disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia, and auditory processing challenges. Students struggle to keep up with lectures, organize notes, and prepare effectively for exams. For students with ADHD or other learning differences, these challenges are amplified - maintaining focus during long lectures, processing information in real-time, organizing scattered materials, and finding the right study method that actually works for their brain. Traditional note-taking demands simultaneous listening, processing, and writing, which can be overwhelming for neurodivergent learners. Bloom removes the pressure of real-time note-taking by allowing students to simply record lectures and focus on understanding. The AI then transforms recordings into multiple study formats - Smart Notes, Flashcards, Quizzes, Study Guides, and Mind Maps - giving students multiple pathways to engage with the same content based on their individual learning style. Why This Matters for Students with ADHD and Learning Disabilities: • Reduces cognitive overload: Students can focus fully on the lecture without splitting attention between listening and writing • Multiple output formats: Visual learners can use Mind Maps; kinesthetic learners can interact with Flashcards; readers can review Smart Notes - all generated from the same source • Repetition without boredom: AI-generated Quizzes and spaced repetition Flashcards help with memory retention through varied, engaging review methods • Organization support: Automatic folder structure and AI-organized notes help students with executive function challenges stay organized without extra effort • Flexible review: Students can revisit content as many times as needed, at their own pace, without stigma • Multi-File Study Mode: Combines content from multiple lectures into unified study materials - ideal for students who struggle to synthesize information across multiple sources Privacy Policy: bloom-app.ai/privacy Terms of Service: bloom-app.ai/terms Support: bloom-app.ai/help Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
