To maximise your experience using Blossom you will need to make sure your browser, device, and operating systems are up to date.
But what devices work best with Blossom? Read on to find out.
Blossom Recommendations
Browser recommendations
Blossom is designed to work with both Google Chrome & Safari. For the best user experience, we recommend that you use the most up-to-date version.
Google Chrome minimum version required: Version 109.
Apple Safari minimum version required: iOS 15.
How to make Google Chrome your default browser on both a Windows & Apple device:
Windows Device
Press the Windows Key > Click Settings > Type or select Apps > Click Default apps > Type Google Chrome > Click into Google Chrome > Click Set Default.
Apple Device
Select the Apple logo > System preferences > General > Click default web browser > Select Google Chrome.
Device recommendations
Blossom is a web-based app & is therefore built to work seamlessly on your internet browser. It is compatible with any device that supports the latest versions of Safari or Chrome.
We recommend devices that are generally updated & supported such as:
- Apple
- Samsung
- Lenovo
To get the best experience from Blossom, we advise against using Amazon Fire tablets or any other devices that don’t support Chrome or Safari. They’re not bad devices by any means, but we’ve found they’re not well adopted in the childcare sector.
Concerned about the cost?
Purchasing the most up-to-date devices can be a costly investment, but never fear – you doin’t have to buy the latest and greatest! There are other avenues that you may wish to take when purchasing tablets.
Buying second-hand or refurbished devices at a reduced price.
Leasing devices from an authorised reseller.
The cost of tech is always something that should be budgeted for. Learn more about nursery budgeting in our blog post on that topic!
Web Speed recommendations
As Blossom is a web-based app, it requires a stable internet connection. We recommend that your internet connection is 10Mb download and 2Mb upload. You can check your internet speeds at Speedtest.net.
