Ratings and reviews

Overall good and close to terminal app. Needs some navigational tweaks. On Chromebook, the back button in the upper left doesn't go back, it shuts down the program. Some pages such as charts get "stuck"--you can't easily navigate back to where you were, sometimes have to shut down the program and start over. Also on Chromebook, when you're using a different app and not logged into the Bloomberg app, it sometime pops up on screen spontaneously, covering up what you're doing.

They have unfortunately removed the ability to customize your homepage in favor of an algorithm that predicts what you want to see. It's frustrating. Rather than allow me to display a specific worksheet on the homepage, it chooses one I have no interest in seeing. It is quite funny and embarrassing for the app, trying to guess what I want to see and be completely wrong, but wholly annoying that they force me to suffer. One of the oddest development errors I can imagine.

The upgraded version is indescribably bad, I can't even use it anymore, it takes 10 times as long to navigate through. *** Update *** Bloomberg was good enough to allow me to revert back to the previous version which I greatly appreciate. That version I easily rate at at least 4 Stars, but I don't want to change this rating so as to mislead anyone with regard to this new version which of course is what my original one-star rating applies to.
