Bloomberg: Business News Daily

I pay the $35 monthly subscription fee, and am overwhelmed with ads in every article I read. The static ads are one image block, repeated multiple times through the body of the article, and the ad blocks are replaced rapidly every few seconds, with a new ad image. While this new ad image is loading, the text jumps as the last ad image was removed, because it takes up less space now, but there is still a big blank spot on the screen. When the new multiple-image ad loads throughout the article text, the article text jumps again to make room for the ad. Now I’m also getting ads that arrive with sound on, loading in one mystery location in the article, that you can’t turn off the sound. If you touch the playing ad wrong, Safari is opened because it wants to sell you NOW! These sound ads also heat up the iPad because it’s processing so furiously. Hey Mike, Why should I pay the $35 if I can’t read through an article? Are you listening?

1. App frequently freezes during a commercial (generally with 3 seconds left) and then I have to restart. (I am on a 2020 iPad Pro and am running PadOS 14.8). 2. Because the audio is muted during the commercials, I frequently do not notice the freeze during the commercial and then miss program content. 3. When I do reboot, yes, I am stuck with a commercial, again Please fix this, developers. Please respond back with comments. The content of this app are phenomenal. Well worth the good chunk of change they charge. BTW…. I notice that critical reviews, ones that contain bug reports or complaints are NOT RESPONDED TO. What gives? All critical app reviews of 3 stars or below should be responded to within 48 hours. That is just good business AND, fundamentally, respect for the customer. Get with it!

I has been a client of various Bloomberg LP information services for many years. Even since I was the Vice-president and Director of Economics at the former Government Development Bank (GDB) for Puerto Rico. The bast cover of key economic and financial issues, beside other very relevant related issues is extraordinary. I was a client for many years of the excellent WEFA and S&P’s DRI information services. However, Bloomberg LP information services are always of extreme relevance and all updated with the latest information available. The professionalism and data checking in all articles shows an outstanding information system. As a regular reader of various themes of Bloomberg LP I always feel a great trust in what I read.
