Bloomberg Businessweek+ App Reviews

180 add

Gets worse

Successive updates make the app worse. Now, it is constantly downloading and sent the same pop up ad three times in five minutes. Yes, pop up ads now. The app is poor.

Stuck at 99%

Downloads keep getting stuck at 99%. The only way to rectify is to uninstall and reinstall Also way too many pop up ads. We pay for a subscription its a bit over the top.

App does not appear to be designed for iPhone 6 or newer

Pixelated content - please update asap

Please get ride of the pop up ads. The other normal ad pages are fine, the pop up ads are beyond annoying.

Business Week

The App will not let me update. Have had it for years and suddenly does not work and update fails. Horrible.

Preferred to hard copy but not a fan of the pop up ads.

Overall, a solid way to read BW.

Pop up ads destroyed this app

Every time I go to a new article, a pop up ad appears and I have to manually close it. Extremely annoying. My subscription expires soon. I wont be renewing it.

Great content, awful ad management

This app does a great job of emulating the printed magazine, while nicely using the advantages of a digital interface. Downloading shoo that issues can be read without an internet connection is much appreciated. Unfortunately, the integration of advertising is poor, often requiring the reader to close full screen ads that are annoying enough to override any value from ad exposure that is being pursued. I understand ads are revenue. Go back to the drawing board and make it work.

Works Great

A nice way to read the issues while I am on the road and havent received the physical magazine. Nicely organized. Easy download.

Annoying pop-up ads

Those pop up ads are really annoying, especially since this requires a paid subscription. (A note to pop-up advertisers - Im guessing the emotions Im now associating with your brands arent the ones you were hoping for). Another new feature is the INability to email many of the articles, which WAS a useful feature. I think Ill drop the paid subscription when it comes due again...Ive noticed that most of the articles can be found on the free Bloomberg app anyways.

Poor design and execution

What a great print magazine with a confusing digital design and annoying pop ads. Instead the publication should have designed the digital edition more than Time magazine.

Whats with " " showing in the text of articles?

This has been happening more frequently lately, impacting the readability of your stories. Please fix what appears to be a fixable bug.

Auto downloading would be Better

I dropped the rating to 4 stars because I always end up on a plane and am scrambling to download issues. Please give me the option to auto-download on wifi or not.

Great app

Works perfectly.

Buggy

IPad air news bugs since the last updated.it blocks the pages and doesnt center them properly

Love the magazine, app has too many ads

I really like the magazine and the reporting, but the app displays too many ads and at times is almost unusable.

Business Week

The App is especially important, since the home delivery of the paper copy is so unreliable. Nevertheless, this is one magazine that is MUST reading. Very informative, well thought out, much more so than any other periodical I have experienced. The App recently has had difficulty sharing articles with family. I hope that issue is over soon.

Pop ups and no true iPhone 6 support

Come on guys. Pop ups between every story and no native support for larger screen iPhone? You can do better.

Annoying ads

The ads are getting extremely annoying. They are placed where they can easily be accidentally swiped. Some ads are unavoidable all together and its a struggle to get out of them. Paid subscribers should not have to go through the hassle of being interrupted by ads and having to dismiss them.

Cant share article

I subscribed to your weekly magazine and yet I cant share an article via email or Facebook despite the web version allowing a user to do so.
