Bloomberg: Business News Daily 4+

Time spent amending summaries to get to the itch? Read Bloomberg for a class in average level restyling, learn Russian and start again Boomerang-style with an obvious prejudice against England (the one in Europe?). This is not what journalism used to be, unless you worked for Randolph Hearst in Cuba. You need to supply your own punchline for the humour - easy brain work for you if you’re not seriously American and believe everything put down as fact, for which ‘guesswork ‘ is too complex a concept.

This app causes my iPad Pro (2021 Model) to overheat, which eats battery and eventually causes the iPad to reduce brightness, likely in order to control temperature. This occurs while reading articles, which I pay for, I have a subscription. I’d speculate that this is smth to do with problems loading the profuse advertising because some ads leave a blank space, scattered throughout articles; or perhaps some are crypto miners?? The overheating doesn’t occur while using the watchlist functionality, which *thankfully* isn’t laden with ads…. The iOS battery monitor confirms excessive power use by this app. It doesn’t happen with others; my hands can feel the heat anyway! This app also *still* doesn’t support dark mode for nighttime reading without disturbing your spouse… Being subject to excessive advertising is a thing we’re sadly all accustomed to these days, but pushing those ads at such a rate on your paying subscribers - and going as far as damaging user experience in the process - is really quite pitiful!. Unless this gets fixed in time, I certainly won’t be renewing my subscription! There are better options for most everything this app does anyway…

Most data is now hidden behind a pay wall including stock charts but it’s available for free on the Internet and other apps. They are obviously trying to get you to sign up to the £299 a year subscription.

I think Bloomberg have miscalculated here, there is a vast amount of people that will not pay this , Will delete the app and they will lose advertising revenue. You can’t charge content which is free on the Internet eg stock charts and fundamentals.

I understand Bloomberg going to charge more for their unique proprietary content but they should have another price just for the app.

Think how many developing nation economies have people that want to use the Bloomberg app as well as all those people have portfolios in the region of 100,000 $150,000, they just are not going to pay these fees to use the app. What Bloomberg should be aiming for with an app is to 100 million people at $25 a year subscription. how many developing nations have people that want to use the Bloomberg app as well as all those people have portfolios in the region of 100,000 $150,000, they just are not going to pay the fees to use the app.

What Bloomberg should be aiming for with an app is to sell 100 million people at $20 a year. Come on Bloomberg you’re not thinking! Have multiple tiers for people that just want basic chart data etc.
