Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blooming Emotions?
Blooming Emotions is an app designed to help you track and visualize your emotional well-being through a garden metaphor. Each emotion you log grows as a flower in your digital garden, helping you recognize patterns and cultivate emotional awareness over time.
Is my emotional data private?
Yes, absolutely. Your emotional data is stored locally on your device and is not shared with our servers. We take your privacy seriously. The app uses HealthKit integration only with your explicit permission, and all health correlations are calculated on-device.
How do I customize my garden?
You can customize your garden in several ways:
- Tap "Edit Garden" to access the grid editor
- Use different terrain blocks (grass, water, dirt, sand)
- Add decorative elements like trees, bushes, and paths
- Switch between "Ground" and "Objects" layers to build your ideal garden
- Use presets for quick garden designs
- Toggle between Grid View and Image View to see different representations
How do I create custom flowers?
When selecting an emotion, you'll see a paintbrush icon next to each emotion category. Tap the icon to draw your own flower for that emotion. You can also use the AI-assisted image generation (iOS 18.1+ required) to create beautiful, unique flowers based on your sketch.
What does the Health Insights feature do?
Health Insights analyzes correlations between your emotional state and health metrics like sleep, physical activity, heart rate, and mindfulness practice. This helps you understand how your physical well-being affects your emotions and vice versa. The feature requires HealthKit permission and works best when you regularly track both health data and emotions.
My flowers disappeared after changing garden views
If flowers disappear when switching between Grid View and Image View, don't worry - your emotion data is still there. Try these steps:
- Switch back to the previous view type
- Add a new emotion to refresh the flower display
- If problems persist, go to Settings and toggle between views again
The app doesn't show health correlations
For health correlations to work:
- Ensure you've granted HealthKit permissions in Settings
- Track at least 5-10 emotions over several days
- Make sure your health data (sleep, steps, etc.) is being recorded
- For iOS 17+, verify that Health app access is enabled for Blooming Emotions
How do I reset all app data?
If you need to reset your app data, go to Settings → Data → Reset App Data. Note that this will permanently delete all your emotions, journal entries, garden customizations, and preferences. This action cannot be undone, so please be certain before proceeding.
