What Other People Are Saying
I found that people really like the Bloomberg app, but have been complaining about how slow it has become. The following comment is a common complaint with the Bloomberg app:
"Has become very slow, really very slow. To see the charts in full screen, previous method was to rotate the phone, but it doesn't work any more. And also I would prefer to see in Bonds section at the main page “yield % change". Anyways, still the best app."
Cost and Process to Join
The Bloomberg App is free. It has no cost associated with joining. Simply log on to Itunes, sign up, and download the app.
Customer Support/Service
Being an app, the customer service is going to be the app itself. Bloomberg is free to join, so you won't be buying a product that should require customer service to go along with it. That being said, most people seem to find the Bloomberg app self explanatory without a need for customer service.
My Conclusion
The Bloomberg app is a quick and easy way for casual traders and investors to interact with their stocks and stay up to date with the news that they tailor to their interests and needs. Bloomberg provides a wealth of information that people want to see. A user can tailor Bloomberg to their needs which may include combining news and the stock market together in one newsfeed. I hope that my review of the Bloomberg app can help you as you look to invest your money in the future.
