### 5/5 — Morning commute.

*2026-08-19*

I use this app everyday to get caught up on news, my portfolio, just about everything!

### 5/5 — yeah man

*2026-08-04*

hell yeah. Bloomberg on the GO

### 1/5 — Never Available

*2026-05-23, version 2.2610*

Recently it’s constantly downloading settings and never actually available to use. Completely useless.

### 2/5 — Forced updates

*2026-05-07*

Forced updates are too frequent and offer little in actual value added. If there are new products now displayed on the mobile app then there would be more positives to say about the app, but that is not the case

### 1/5 — Scam of an App

*2025-10-15, version 2.2520*

An actual tech company needs to take over this system. Even Walmart could do a better job

### 5/5 — On the go

*2025-10-14*

Good, helps me stays productive while on the go

### 1/5 — Log in change

*2025-10-02*

Out of no where, every update, which is often, you need your b unit to log in. Was not the case previously. Can freeze you out if you do not have it immediately available. Short sighted cya behaviour, again from folks who just never care about their clients.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback but we need to learn more about this unexpected behavior in order to assist you. Please reach out to your sales rep so we can set up a time. To find your rep, hit "Cancel" on the Terminal, or via Home on the Professional App. Alternatively, reach out to the Help Desk and we will be in touch.

### 1/5 — Please make better

*2025-09-20, version 2.2518*

It’s so bad I have to use yahoo finance app for basic mobile watch lists and perplexity for most other basic things. Main current functionality is IB, alerts, and PORT. BBG please make better. Also how isn’t there an AI query…

### 1/5 — Forced ios update

*2025-02-20*

Quite ironic knowing majority of bbg infrastructure runs on legacy tech

### 1/5 — Unnecessary updates now incompatible with some devices

*2025-01-08, version 2.2414*

Because my phone lacks sufficient storage to download the newest IOS, I can now no longer use the Bloomberg app. This is unacceptable. There should obviously be an option to use the legacy version in this instance.
