Bloomberg Professional

Good, but needs added features. Like a more detailed and organized MON and businessweek magazines section. Also the ability to track portfolio groups in RT. Ability to read magazines subscriptions and newsletters. Overall features improvements are needed. There’s a big gap between the terminal and the app abilities.

For casual monitoring of messages and markets, it’s an acceptable add-on to the terminal, but when attempting to do more, the app falls short. While there are some useful enhancements with the latest release (better access to monitors, security page) it has removed some good functionality (linking market pages to home screen, IB notification on home screen, news layout on tablet, organization of news, consolidated home screen of market, message & news) and made some naive blunders (5 year Treasury as benchmark for the bond market, Today / home screen). Terminal mode on tablet is clunky and Apple keyboard overlays many key areas, especially when messaging. In 3 hours of use today, I experienced the one crash & a completely blank screen. Developer appears to be shifting focus to phone users over tablet. Talking with one sales coverage today, he would be ditching the app in favor of Surface and the full version. Essentially, despite its ease of access vs the full version on a laptop/Surface, there are too many short comings to the app when attempting to do real work. I have passed along usage comments to my Bloomberg coverage & app feedback.

Previously I could scroll down the list of recently viewed securities, view a chart and come back to the list, click on the next security, view the chart and so on and so forth. Now it after I view the chart and click back, it brings me to the top of the list and then I have press and extra key to see “more securities” scroll all the way down tens of securities to select the next one. It slows the process down 3 times and obviously makes it more tedious. How can you be so THOUGHTLESS with your changes??? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT EASIER AND MORE EFFICIENT

Can update research notes, access street research and also navigate through other offerings much easier than past versions. Doesn’t have all the functions of the terminal, but pretty great for monitoring names while traveling, accessing news and saving down documents to IPad or IPhone that allow you to read them offline. Thanks BBG developer team!

Why they haven't added a yas or other pricing page for corporate bonds is beyond me and would greatly improve functionality. Also why no trace? These can't be that difficult As other users have noted the "updates" are all pretty useless. They continually improve things on the margin like notes - does anyone use notes? IB notifications now stack on the lock screen but there's no way to see beyond the last one received
