## Core Features

### Spaced Repetition Learning
A 7-interval adaptive algorithm that schedules plant identification reviews at scientifically-optimized intervals. Incorrect answers are re-shown in 1 minute; mastered plants are reviewed weekly. Targets 80-90% long-term retention.

### Seek Screenshot Import (Premium)
Users screenshot plant identifications from iNaturalist's Seek app and import them into BloomEDU. Cloud OCR extracts plant names, fuzzy matching finds them in the database, and they're automatically added to personalized learning queues.

### Podcast Narrations (Premium)
Each plant has a 5-7 minute AI-narrated story covering botanical characteristics, ecological roles, cultural significance, and field identification tips. Supports background playback. Free users get rotating sample narrations.

### Offline-First Architecture
Core learning features work without internet. Regional data packs can be downloaded for zero-network field trips. Device text-to-speech works offline.
