Blossom Mobile App Tester Guide

Welcome

Blossom is an AI-powered growth platform for solopreneurs. The Blossom Mobile Viewer is a phone-first companion app that lets solopreneurs monitor their campaigns, learn on the go, and get support — all from their phone. It is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed to the home screen and works like a native app.

As a Mobile Tester, you'll verify that the app works correctly on real phones. Your feedback on touch targets, readability, audio playback, and overall feel is critical — desktop emulators can't catch everything.

Getting Started

Step 1: Log In

Open the URL above on your phone's browser. You'll be redirected to the login page. Enter your credentials. After login you'll see the Blossom mobile app with a bottom navigation bar (Home, Learn, Campaigns, Support).

Step 2: Install the App

What You're Testing

The mobile app has 4 main areas plus Settings. You do not need to test campaign creation or business profile editing — those stay on desktop.

Please test on whichever device(s) you have. Note your device in every bug report.

Test Checklist: Learning (Listen Mode)

Listen Mode lets solopreneurs learn with earbuds while doing other things (chores, walking, commuting). This is the most important mobile feature to test carefully.

Quiz & Interactive Blocks

Things We Especially Want Feedback On

Beyond bugs, we want your honest opinion on these questions:

1. Is the text big enough to read comfortably, or do you find yourself wanting to zoom?
2. Does Listen Mode feel natural? Would you actually use it while doing chores?
3. When a quiz is auto-skipped in Listen Mode, is the announcement clear enough?
4. Is dark mode comfortable for evening use?
5. Are there any screens where you're not sure what to do next?
6. Does the app feel fast or sluggish?
7. Would you install this app to your home screen and use it regularly?
