Bloomberg Professional

So useful, obviously limits compared to desktop, but I use this every single day. Love the daybreak podcast !

So I can read on subway!

Don't leave a negative review if you didn't read the description. It clearly states that the app is only accessible to users with Bloomberg terminals. Then you can generate a B-unit token. Love the app.

That's the first thing that crossed my mind.

Agree w Oakvillian...nd pswd & usenm & some other unit #, but no place Togo and set it up....somebody help...

Improvements keep rolling in but too many bugs come with it. Hyperlinks to full story in message have disappeared in the latest November release. Very odd that there's no support mechanism in place from iPhone.

This is amazing!! With the bloomberh anywhere app all my wildest dreams have come true! Im a bloomerg anywhere subscriber and the fact that i have the full bloomberg terminal accessible from my ipad is just wonderful. Sure it doesnt have multiple windows or launchpad as far as i know, but its not supposed to be a replacement for your computer. I just love using the ipad app instead of my computer for smaller tasks. Te iphone bloomberg anywhere app just got released and thats a wonderful Addition to already having an ipad. One minor thing i noticed is that in iphone version on homescreen there is an option for "portolio" where i can go into my individual portfolios and see performance. This is something thats missing from the ipad app. Sometimes i dont want to launch the full terminal and use my b-unit on ipad, and just quickly be ale to glance at world markets commodities and my portfolios from that main page when ipad app starts with the 2x2 grid multiple pages. Would be great if you could add a "portfolio" option to ipad app just like its present on iphone.

First off, this apps is not for you if you are not already a bloomberg anywhere customer. That out of the way, my benchmark is the blackberry version that I regularly use. This version is very nice by comparison. There are two modes. One, you log into using your bloomberg id. From there you can log into a citrix-like bloomberg anywhere where you can see your familiar screen real estate from a regular bloomberg session. You're warned not to do this with a 3G connection. I found that I can live with the first mode but noted a few alpha software type glitches. When reconfiguring the panels for the front screen the whole app fails to launch. I've tried two versions but the only fix is a re install. I complained on bbg chat "help help" that the chat functions were only available in the terminal login mode. They told me they were working on adding this feature to the main screen. Pros: looks nice, lots of screen real estate Cons: not as stable as the blackberry version (yet) and no chat functionality without the high bandwidth terminal login

All the features of a Bloomberg workstation (except for launchpad) now available on an iPad! Interface is easy to use. Provides access to two panels and IB Manager + real time quotes

Doesn't work. Need a ID and password, no explanation of how to get them.
