Bloomberg Professional

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…

We have to carry every day BUnit, while on Android there is an app

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!

I love how proud they are of taking away the ENTER / RETURN functionality of the keyboard.

As a previous reviewer said, a mid-June update broke PORT. The first column is so wide that no additional columns are visible. There have been numerous updates to the app since and this still remains an issue. I have also reported it to the Helpdesk to no avail.

Column width takes up the entire screen if you’re lucky enough to not have died waiting for port to actually load.

- “Portfolios” lags to the point of being unusable, takes 2 mins plus to load if loads at all - otherwise just keeps spinning. - where did the refresh buttons go on multiple views including Portfolios??? - in Research inexplicably you deleted the stock symbol of the company next to the reports - now have to open the pdf to find out what company the headline is referring to - terrible! Overall this latest update made the app materially worse - can we go back to the old one? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, please!!!!
