Bloomz: For Teachers & Schools Reviews

Seems great but won’t use yet

This app really seems great. I love the calendar feature because class dojo doesn’t have that. That’s the biggest selling point for me. But everything else doesn’t seem like an improvement on dojo. The app itself isn’t great looking. I know the kids don’t use it directly, but it should be inviting looking at least. Every time you give a kid a point it goes back to the home screen. That drives me crazy. This app will 100% replace class dojo for me if they fix a couple things.

Never received verification email

I am a first time user of this app. Very disappointed. I cannot get past the verification/notification screen. I have not received an email to confirm my account. Checked junk mail waited several hours ...nothing. Please fix this.

Love it

As a school social network at a private school, I really like how the app has helped create a shared sense of community for our classroom. Love that we can group chat with our teacher and both parents. And post to the class group. (I can only compare it to a public school experience where we used Classdojo, which didn’t allow comments, or group chats, and felt always like we were on the outside looking through a tiny window.).

Not bad app but

It is a total mess when you have to use it fir more than one student. I have missed important messages from teachers or send ones to the wrong teacher. I’m not sure that I’ll use it for the next school year.

Too many bugs

AR249

I’ve used Bloomz for over a year. I cannot tell you how many times I have to delete and re-install this app. And when my students go to add a post to their parents we have to do the same thing on ALL their iPads. This happens many times. If my school is gonna pay so much money when there are other free options out there, the bugs should be fixed.

All in One

Just started using this app but I’m so excited. It has all the features in one place so it will save me time!

My favorite parent communication app

I used Bloomz last year and loved it! It translated messages for my parents, it differentiated between a message and an alert, and it allowed me to schedule conferences/ask for volunteers. The calendar feature is probably my favorite part of Bloomz because it made communicating and scheduling so much easier when everything is done on one app. Unfortunately, you only get 125 media uploads, which I didn’t realize until I went to start my new class. There’s no way to archive the class and I’m not willing to delete the entire class yet. I teach special Ed and will still work closely with those students! I’m not willing to pay $100 when other apps are free, so I’ll be switching to Class Dojo ?
