Bloomberg Businessweek+ App Reviews

Screws up the good content they have. Bloomberg digital business team is know to be weak and this shows it. is Their digital ad sales team must be in trouble if they keep flooding paid apps with make-do units for their clients. Worst UX

Businessweek digital is a case study in good journalism meeting bad (if not desperate ) business management. They obviously cant deliver the ad units they promised so they flood the experience with pop up ads. Terrible.

Recently deleted my iPad app accidentally. When I reloaded the app it appears stuck on the last issue I read and will not display the current issue for download. Anyone know why?

The app is fine, but way to many pop up ads. Annoying to the point where it disincentives me to do business with the advertizer.

Compelled to write a review which I rarely do. This app has been a laggard for years with bad and outdated UI. Crashes continually especially when downloading issues over LTE. iPhone version still has not been updated to 4.7 and 5.5 inch screens. iPad version very sluggish on iPad mini 4.

The app itself is very well done. Unfortunately the ads are so frequent and so intrusive that it makes reading articles annoying, and navigating the magazine and articles difficult. Ive uninstalled the app on both my iPhone and iPad.

Im a BW subscriber to both the print and digital versions. Read it every week. Cheered when the digital version first launched. Now, on the digital version, there is a new pop up ad for every page turn. Sometimes, there is 3-4 ads before the page turn. Often, it is the same ad, over and over and over. Makes the app unusable. i can understand the revenue model for the free users. But, as a paid subscriber, I shouldnt be forced to watch 50-100 ads for one edition of the publication. Just ridiculous.

This app has great content and I have no problem being paid subscriber. But being bombarded pretty much by same ads so often - is really annoying. Also, since recently I have started running into problems with downloading the latest issue - getting stuck at 99% - and there is nothing I can do to move this to 100%. Developers, please fix this.

Great source of information about world events and trends in the markets. Perfect companion for the daily commute

I love the magazine. Unfortunately the app has degraded in quality - at least on IOS10. Twice I have had downloads stop at 99% without any apparent way to restore service except to delete the app, reset the phone, and download it again. And that is the advice from their customer support. Unfortunately that looses the previous downloads in the archive. Annoying. Please fix.

Love this app but the latest version crashes all the time. Renders it useless unless you delete and re download. Please fix ASAP. Quite possibly the pop up ads are causing the crashes due to poorly implemented code.

Latest version hangs up downloads all the time. Fix this and make it great again!

Took a great app, made it crap. The ads destroy the experience, I hold my thumb over the top left of the screen to close the ad instantly and dont even see a fraction of the content but forced disruptive ads for a paid subscription are annoying enough to consider canceling altogether.

Cannot read content I have paid for because downloads hang at 99% in current version on iOS 10 Refunds for subscribers?

App. Needs Improvements.

I am a print subscriber that prefers to read on iPad. Guess what? Although I should be valued as a print subscriber I actually have to see more ads on the iPad version. The ones within the pages are not enough for BW so they also have taken a page out of the 1990s and brought us pop-up ads. Yes you read right! Pop-up ads the same ones that destroyed content and brought about pop-up blockers on the web is now brought to a paid product by the genius minds at Bloomberg marketing. These little gifts from heaven show up almost with every swipe. I will not be renewing. Buh Bye!

Downloads stopped working. New issues stop downloading at 99%%. Reinstalled a number of times. Really unhappy.

Download hangs at 99% every week and the program is unable to open the magazine. Emailed customer service and they say they still have no fix.

Dont waste your money on this poor excuse for digital media. I cant count how many times Ive had downloads hang up for days. Editions gone missing because the "publishers" decided they werent going to work that week or instead published late. And when I can read an edition, theres always those endless annoying page-size pop-up ads that ruin the whole reading experience. This is a company that is only a shell of what I used to buy the excellent print edition for. Im not renewing.

Love Bloomberg News, but app Isaiah old that it doesnt support higher resolution iPhones. Get with it! And if you are using Adobes tools for everything, demand better
