We don’t charge per user/learner. We don’t charge per course taken or uploaded. Our pricing is per Administrator account. They have all the power to build and can add as many learner accounts as you need. We want you to be able to scale to thousands of users without spending thousands. We don’t think cost should stop you delivering the best learning content available. Bloom is priced so that teams, no matter how big or small can consider Bloom as the solution they need to deliver training of any type to anyone.

Likelihood to Recommend
What a find! Similar functionality to other LMS's, at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended.
Feb 4, 2019
What do you like best?
I really like the clean design of the system and its responsiveness across all devices. Structured navigation makes getting around the system easy, for both the administrator and the end-users. YouTube style recommendations allow for personalised content to individuals or groups. Interaction with the Appitierre team (all levels) has been friendly, efficient and professional.
What do you dislike?
Would love the ability to track attendance of face-to-face workshops, and it would be beneficial to have greater control of the look and feel, especially around the courses pages.
Easy to set up, works perfectly with Evolve, crazy good value!
Jan 29, 2019
What do you like best?
Simplicity. It's easy to learn, there's very little that can go wrong and you don't need an accountant to figure out what it's going to cost each month. If you have a lot of users and a limited budget you'd be crazy not to check it out.
What do you dislike?
I'd like to be able to customise it a bit more than I can. At the moment the way you change system text and appearance is a little basic. Would be great if it worked like the Evolve theming.
An impressive, robust and straightforward LMS. Highly recommended if you need things to be simple.
Jan 28, 2019
What do you like best?
Bloom is super simple. It works beautifully with Evolve the companion eLearning authoring tool. The API integration between the two means no more download/zip/upload - one click and the module is updated. Bloom works well on mobile and tablet. It can have almost all features turned off to make it a clean end-user experience, for, example, three clicks to content with no clutter in the way.
What do you dislike?
It's new and is still under development. Full system reporting for non-admins is currently a gap, but I believe that will be sorted soon. Translating Bloom into multi-language is a manual process. Some of the styling controls are limited.
