Bloomberg Professional App Reviews

Annoying sing in process

The base app is good, and they allow biometric signing in, however you have to type in your password once a day. ( which would not be as bad if you didnt have to change your password every 6 weeks). Wish they would just allow biometric sign in all the time.

App crashes when I open notes!

Before the most recent updates , I had no issues. Now, when I open some of my notes, the app crashes. Totally unacceptable!

Update speed makes it worthless

Gets two stars for looking nice and giving me access to my terminal. The actual iPad app is worthless. None of my messages update. Im writing this review on the 30th of October and, according to the app, my newest messages are from October 4th.

Too bad

How does one get pastthe login page? Long time user of Bloomberg Apps but this one has struck a terrible cord with regard to functionality.

Latest update ruins MSG workflow

After sending a message Im taken back to the list of screens that lists my inboxes. Why on earth would I want to look at an SMSG inbox after replying to an email in my normal inbox? Also, for those of us that keep a clean inbox, its now hard to manage. Delete now goes up to a more recent message. This means that I cant start going through my messages from the most recent email. If I see an email I want to keep, go to the next one and delete it, Im back at the email I already read. Either make this behavior optional, put it back, or use smart behavior to side which direction to scroll.

Updated for the new version and now crashes every time

Ive never had problems before... Now that I updated with the latest version it keeps crashing while its starting.

If only....

This would be a great app IF my Inbox messages would update. Today is 12/18. The latest msg displayed in my inbox is 11/6. Strangely, my Sent folder is updated to current. I dont understand how its possible for one to update and not the other. Also, the app for the iPhone does not have this issue. Please fix so I can check my messages when out of the office. Seems like this wold be a fairly simple bug to take care of.

Ridiculously buggy

Messages updating in the background causes currently viewing message to scroll back to the top whenever a new message arrives. In general messages update from the oldest to newest so if you havent logged in from iOS in a couple days it can take 5+ minutes to refresh to the newest runs which is generally what you care about. Monitors column width still all messed up even after purported fix Feels like a step back from previous version with no new enhancements. Disappointing as usual.

New update crashes constantly

Every time I try to launch this app since the last update, it crashes on my original iPad. While the app has always been a little unstable, it has never been this bad.

Lack of innovation disappointing

I expect a faster pace of innovation from Bloomberg. This app is missing many key features. The mobile team should do a better job of integrating some of the most commonly used functions (EVT, CF, EM, etc) into the mobile app.

Almost full Bloomberg functionality

Great for research, monitoring positions, and seeing whats going on in the markets. Please add screen print capability, file saving capability, and PLEASE ADD EMSX TO THE BLOOMBERG ANYWHERE APP! Those fixes would make my life a thousand times easier!

Not good enough

Sadly, the blackberry version from 2008 is better than this. Charting capability is awful--no moving averages, no ability to set custom dates, non-standard y-axis ticks on price charts (eg putting a line at 10.03 instead of 10.0? Really??) Want to read news on your ticker list? Punch them in one by one because you cant do it. And forget about IB. The delay is so long as to make it useless. Want to do other news searches? Sorry! I mean, cmon Bloomberg some of this has been available on the iPad version for the last 12 months! (sadly the iPad charting is the same--awful) Get back to work. Maybe you should put the blackberry programmers on the job-they seemed to know what they were doing!

Another underwhelming Bloomberg product

Once again, Bloomberg demonstrates its fear of cannibalizing dumb terminal sales by creating an inferior product that cant handle basic functions like news updates, messaging and charting. Mike is laughing all the way to the bank.

The app became really slow to load

Since upgrading to 2.4.1 the app has become really slow and unresponsive at times. Can I roll back?

Worthless

Why cant you guys figure out how to send push notifications When a new IB message posts.

As good as a terminal

This is by far the most impressive app Ive seen on iOS. If you have a bbg subscription, you should definitely take advantage of this incredible app. Mobile bloomberg terminal - what a useful tool!

Battery Killer

Love the app but the IB and MSG count feature just destroys the battery.

Awesome

Perfect for iPhone and iPad.

Unstable, slow- data not optimized

Not stable - dont update! How much per month? 1800$ seriously! Interaction with Message function , cause crash. Especially searches. Downloading data on cell, or even wifi, takes forever. Programmers clearly play with this in high speed environment with latest ad and nothing else running the lie to bosses about how fast it it. Still a POC

Great app!

Great information tool
