Bloomberg Professional

Trading off functionality over simplicity makes Bloomberg app completely useless.

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.

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.

Good, but Where’s the Eco and other Calendars?

For a mobile version of Bloomberg professional it’s more then suitable for the phone

Forced updates and breaking device support is a peculiar strategy for a product that costs more than a manhattan studio.

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.

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.

Due to covid need to be in person now…lame!

Developers: PLEASE FIX COLUMN WIDTHS. With every update, the problem gets worse. Unable to view more than two columns of a worksheet on an iPhone 13 6.1” because ticker description column width is inflexible. Only way to view more columns is by holding the phone in landscape mode, which is a ghetto solution. MAKE COLUMN WIDTHS FLEXIBLE, not dependent on index tickers. It’s like basic Excel…
