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 ### 3/5 — MSG-Sent messages *2024-10-16* Hello, it would be great if I could go to my sent messages on the app and have the option to reply to all. This does not exist today on the app-only on the terminal. It is helpful to have this option to continue to keep the email chain organized if there is an additional thought needed to be added. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-08-18, version 2.2416* I can no longer export/share research pdfs. One MUST view them in the terrible Bloomberg pdf viewer. Bring back this functionality or I will have to replace my entire mobile workflow with AlphaSense, which will mean I’ll be using bberg solely for IB. terrible design decision shame on you app developer. ### 2/5 — Worksheets *2024-07-22* How do I delete securities from my worksheet? I see there is an edit button on the top right but the security list doesn’t show up as an option. Also, when I add the securities I need they show up at the bottom of the worksheet with so much space in between. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We would be very happy to assist you. Please contact your account rep - Hit ESC/Cancel on the Terminal or find your rep name displayed on the Home screen on the Mobile Professional app - and we will help. ### 4/5 — Where’s the Eco and other Calendars? *2024-05-17, version 2.2410* Good, but Where’s the Eco and other Calendars? ### 3/5 — Translate news *2024-03-24* It would be very interesting version for tablet and phones to be able to translate into another language that exists in the terminal. ### 4/5 — Good app, finding it helpful *2024-01-16* App has made it easy for me to quickly see the things I care about most. ### 3/5 — Half baked *2023-12-23* This feels odd that almost in 2024 the best BB can offer for an app is one you can’t trade with, and the UI is both clunky and painful to use. This could be so much more, and instead were left asking why this half baked option was the “breast solution” ### 1/5 — Does not work on ios 15 anymore *2023-12-11, version 2.2310* Forced updates and breaking device support is a peculiar strategy for a product that costs more than a manhattan studio. ### 1/5 — Re-Order in Securities *2023-10-05* There should be the ability to re-order and prioritize what information comes up on equity securities. The idea that ESG, as a large block, should come before a company’s financials is odd and that should be up to the user, not Bloomberg. Different users care about different things, and prioritization should be up to the user. Push alerts are also terrible! “Larry Summers says…” comes up more than anything (although we are now getting a lot of Bill Gross says…”). I don’t care what those guys are saying as a push alert. Most don’t. And yet I can’t seem to get a push alert on the type of information that I would prefer, which is quick hit information that is data driven. Killing the Larry Summers says and going more toward data driven information alerts would be better for the users. ### 3/5 — Bad updates *2023-09-20* Overall solid for checking news, but really need to reinstate the sort/filter function for research reports. Made no sense to take that out. Otherwise, would’ve been a 4-5 star review. ### 4/5 — Good App *2023-07-17* I have some suggestions such as widgets with news and prices, for example but it could be very explored by this app. I also would really like to use this app on my M1 mac. I think it would be easy to optimize the iPad app to work on apple sillicon macs!! ### 4/5 — Great app but lacking access to customized charts *2023-04-21* Lacking ways to pull out saved customized charts ### 1/5 — Lost student access 😠 *2023-02-14, version 2.2303* Due to covid need to be in person now…lame! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never Available *2026-05-23, version 2.2610* Recently it’s constantly downloading settings and never actually available to use. Completely useless. ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Need to have free function *2024-12-19, version 2.2425* We want it free ### 1/5 — New version ruined research viewer *2024-12-12, version 2.2425* Can’t filter on primary ticker, Bloomberg’s PDF viewer often loads with error “no content to display) ### 1/5 — Dine function is not working *2024-08-28* Just not working on iphone and it crashed **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with DINE. Please contact your Sales Rep or our Help team so that we can assist in resolving your issue. ### 1/5 — UI team needs to resign *2024-08-23, version 2.2417* Trading off functionality over simplicity makes Bloomberg app completely useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — On the go *2025-10-14* Good, helps me stays productive while on the go ### 5/5 — iPad Version is great *2024-09-03* For people on the road ### 5/5 — Serves its purpose *2024-04-28, version 2.2408* For a mobile version of Bloomberg professional it’s more then suitable for the phone ### 5/5 — Perfect extension of my terminal. *2024-01-16* Really helps when I’m away from my Terminal. ### 5/5 — BBG on the go *2022-02-08* I can use IB and MSG without having to log in on the computer! News with alerts are great so I can see article titles on the locked screen, my preferred setting for all news apps, so I can click on the ones I want to read. Latest markets info is there, securities I search on the terminal show up as recent ones on the app and my favorites are saved. It’s great when I’m on the road, running around between meetings (okay, sometimes during meetings) and on evenings/weekends without cutting into my free time like it would otherwise. So glad my teammate showed me how to use it! ### 5/5 — Perfect on M1 MacBook Air *2021-04-27* This is a great option for Bloomberg Profesional on a M1 MacBook Air since there is no native install. Any chance you will approve this for a native download as post 11.3? Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Good to have *2020-12-30, version 2.2018* Good app. I like how I get notifications on my phone. ### 5/5 — 史上最高のアプリ *2020-09-27* 8年以上にわたり毎日使っているが、金融市場で日々戦うプレーヤーにとって本当になくてはならない最高のアプリだ。 このアプリの一番素晴らしいところは、アップデート頻度が高く、新しい機能がどんどん追加されていくことだ。 最初はメジャーな市場価格とニュースくらいしかなかったのが、気づけばアラート機能やポートフォリオ機能、はてはドロ●プボックスにエバーノ●ト機能まで実装されていき、出先や移動時間でも十分仕事を前に進められるようになった。他の金融市場端末とは段違いの大変素晴らしいアプリに仕上がっている。 ただし昔から存在している「Dine（食●ログ）」の機能だけは、相変わらず掲載件数少なく日本に住んでいるとあまり恩恵を受けられないのが残念なところだ（笑） --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
