Download BloomText for Android

Download and install BloomText on Android. System requirements, Google Play installation, push notifications setup, and troubleshooting.

Overview

The BloomText app for Android gives you push notifications, a mobile-optimized inbox, and the ability to message your team from anywhere.

System requirements

  • Operating system: Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later
  • Internet: Wi-Fi or cellular data connection

Steps

1. Open Google Play

Tap the Google Play badge above, or search for "BloomText" in the Google Play Store on your device.

2. Install BloomText

Tap Install to download and install the app.

3. Sign in

Open BloomText and sign in with your email and password. If you do not have an account yet, create one at app.bloomtext.com/#/welcome.

4. Allow notifications

On Android 13 and later, BloomText asks for notification permission after your first sign-in. Tap Allow so you receive push notifications when colleagues or patients message you.

If you skipped this step, go to Settings > Apps > BloomText > Notifications on your device and turn on notifications.

Edge cases / gotchas

  • Notification permission (Android 13+). Android 13 introduced a runtime notification permission. If you denied it at first launch, re-enable it from the Android Settings app under BloomText.
  • Battery optimization. Some Android manufacturers aggressively restrict background apps. If you stop receiving notifications, check Settings > Apps > BloomText > Battery and select Unrestricted or Don't optimize.
  • Do Not Disturb. The Android Do Not Disturb mode silences all app notifications. BloomText also has its own Do Not Disturb setting inside the app if you want to mute BloomText specifically.
  • No quick-login on mobile. The 4-digit PIN quick-login feature is available only on the Windows and macOS desktop apps.
