Bloom, a health app for transgender users, received a major update with enhanced HRT management tools and a new searchable medication database. The developer added regimen templates for patches, injections, and gels, plus custom reminders for doses and lab work. This release focuses on practical, real-world needs for hormone therapy tracking.

Beyond medication, the update includes emotional support features like dysphoria/euphoria tagging and milestone tracking. A low-energy journaling mode adapts to difficult days, acknowledging the nonlinear nature of transition. The app also prioritizes privacy and safety with a quick-exit button, biometric locks, and a discreet mode to hide the app from others.

The standout addition is a HRT medication database covering over 15 common drugs. Users can search and filter by type—estrogen, anti-androgens, testosterone—viewing generic names, administration routes, dosage ranges, and side effects. The database includes estradiol, spironolactone, bicalutamide, and more, with a clear disclaimer to consult healthcare providers.
