The app lets you compare local flower shops and choose according to your preference.
Several customers received flowers or cakes that closely matched the online photos, including a red velvet cake confirmed before dispatch.
Reviews describe fresh flowers, cakes, sweets and chocolates arriving neatly packed and in good condition.
Some vendors offer delivery in under an hour, while one customer received Dubai chocolate and brownies in just under two hours.
Customers mention tracking notifications from purchase through delivery, making the order easier to follow remotely.
The built-in calendar can remind you about important dates, and the app allows a complimentary postcard with an order.
Check stock. For a seasonal flower, confirm availability before relying on the order: a mimosa bouquet was accepted online but later replaced.
Request photos. Ask for the pre-delivery photo and compare it with your chosen design, especially when colour and arrangement matter.
Allow buffer. Build in extra time for important occasions; one Valentine's order arrived after midnight and was incomplete.
Check contents. Before accepting a gift order, verify that every item is included, since a Valentine's delivery reportedly arrived with several items missing.
Use reachable contacts. Make sure the recipient can be reached locally if delivery needs coordination; one seller review cites a non-local number as a problem.
Try nearby shops. For last-minute gifting, browse nearby vendors first: reviews mention local options and some deliveries in less than an hour.

A reviewer described the cheesecake as creamy and paired it with a user-friendly ordering experience.
The chocolates were reported to arrive quickly, beautifully packed and delicious.
One family order paired cakes with this plant, which the reviewer described as beautiful.
One expensive bouquet was never delivered, with repeated follow-ups and reportedly non-working phone and WhatsApp contacts.
A mimosa bouquet was accepted online but later declared unavailable and replaced with tulips the reviewer considered much poorer value.
A customer says flowers took about five hours after the ready photo and were delivered despite a cancellation request.
A Mother's Day pink rose basket reportedly arrived mostly yellow, with only one pink rose, and no replacement was discussed.
A Valentine's order placed at 3 PM arrived at 1:15 AM with several items missing.
The Bottom Line
Flowwow is an app-based marketplace that brings together local Dubai shops for flowers, cakes and gifts. You can order a bouquet, a birthday cake, chocolates or a plant without contacting several vendors yourself. The app is repeatedly described as simple to browse and convenient for sending surprises remotely.
Product quality is often a strong point. Reviews mention fresh flowers that matched the website photo, a red velvet cake delivered intact from far away, and a Belgian Chocolate Cake praised for its moist texture, deep chocolate flavour and ganache. Same-day and last-minute orders can work well: one customer received Dubai chocolate and brownies in under two hours, while another found vendors offering delivery in less than an hour.
There is a real reliability caveat, particularly around peak occasions and substitutions. Customers reported an undelivered mimosa bouquet, a pink rose basket arriving mostly yellow, a Valentine's order arriving at 1:15 AM with missing items, and a five-hour delivery delay after flowers were ready. Check stock, request the pre-delivery photo and leave a time buffer for important gifts.
Tracking notifications and the built-in calendar are useful extras, but they do not remove the need to verify the final order.
