Bloomberg Radio+

This used to be my favorite app during my commute, but something has changed. Commercial content is not relevant at all (i.e. lottery, fast food restaurants, old Navy) and interrupts delivered content randomly and not during the commercial breaks. The app also stops every 5 to 10 min requiring that you unlock the phone go to the app and press play again to restart, which then queues up another commercial. Sadly, I have started to listen to podcasts instead of Bloomberg on my commute. Please fix this.

This app is awful. Keeps stopping all the time and reverting to commercials. Content is great, app is awful. You're better off listening to Bloomberg on iHeart radio, they have local Bloomberg. More commercials and useless local traffic and weather, but at least the app work. Wish I could find a way to stream CNBC

Why does the app constantly stop playing every 5 to 10 minutes. Very frustrating. It worked fine for a year or so, but in the last 6 months it doesn't work that good.

Please can the developers look into the issue of the app stopping after 5 minutes and user having to unlock the phone and go into the app to restart it. It gives bloomberg a bad name!

Very poor app. Keeps stopping.

Great.

Brand new high end phone. 4 full bars 4g connection. App keeps stopping. Ran and run a different radio app in this are a for 6 hours at a clip for weeks on end with out so much as a hiccup. Only having issues with this app would rather rate it at 2.5 stars

I don't get why this app is available to download in 2017, it looks like from 90's. Unfortunately it also stops after 10 minutes of bloomberg radio live and I have to open it and replay. TuneIn is much more better

Great content. Poorly implemented App. I mainly download content and listen offline. Please add fast forward and rewind buttons for 10 seconds. If the content was managed properly you could get 4 starts. If the App is improved you can easily get 5 stars. Content is excellent. Guests are excellent.

Not very well done. The radio cuts out and stops when full 4g signal at Liverpool Street area in London. Adverts cut in on important updates you want to hear and the topic doesn't pause so you just miss it. No buffering tolerance so useless on a train. Sadly not very good currently. Would hope this will be improved upon as I am a big on Bloomberg!

Streaming of Bloomberg radio broadcast takes a while to buffer and start even with a quality Wi-Fi connection. Thereafter streaming stops and starts. App is unreliable.

Tried app again. Still crashes repeatedly. Considering the company it's surprising.

Rubbish app. Takes an age to load up and when it does it stops playing after a while.

App stops after every 10 min!

Crushes all the time. Is super old

I love the part where it stops working every minute or so. Thrilling app.

It cuts out in the middle of the news!!

Every time it buffers you have to listen to yet another add.

Here we are Jan 2017 and this app still does it's best to promote elsewhere. Bloomberg is an alligator - All mouth, no ears. app continues to fail every time a system sound plays. Been rhis way four a year or more. Update: two years now and Bloomberg radio still sucks. Please fix it or give up.

Frequent drop outs. Content is really good. But in an hour's listening the number of times I get disconnected would be greater than 5. It is to be noted during the same 1 hour drive all the music streaming apps and podcasts stream flawlessly, implying nothing wrong with the data connection.

This once was one of my favorite apps for news. But since you added app specific ads it kicks off about every 5 minutes. Either get the ads working right or remove them. The ad should only play when you start the app. not after that.

like listening while jogging in early morning. cuts out all the time and will not re-establish connection. have to open phone and try and stop the search. once I have I can press play again at it will establish connection, but doing this 8 or 9 times during my run is very aggravating.

Bloomberg 1130AM is myfavorite station for news about markets, finance, and the global economy. Unfortunately, this app does not offer the same stream as the radio station. On weekends, in particular, the content is different. Not all is bad though. When you open the app, the stream plays immediately. No listening to ads first. I would give the app an additional star if it had a pause or mute button on the notifications list.

Good content of radio. Very very buggy app. I am scared it may damage my device. Reason of thinking the same being already lost one device by using another buggy app for extended duration of time.

Great content. I mainly download content and listen offline. Some of the previously known bugs appear to have been fixed, or are gone after an Android system upgrade. 1) Sometimes the App says a show is downloaded but it is actually blank. I need to delete that show and re-download again. 2) The Bloomberg Surveillance shows are not consistently posted. Please bring back the last operator who post the shows, this new guy post them very late and they are sometimes not posted at all. 3) Information about the guests are no longer provided. 4) Please add fast forward and rewind buttons for 10 seconds. Conclusion: If the content was managed properly you could get 4 starts. If the App is improved you can easily get 5 stars. Content is excellent. Guests are excellent.

Does not stream under WiFiwithout a multitude of disruptions. Does anyone actually test the software before releasing it? I us the pc or laptop instead, which means you really can't listen to Bloomberg radio from a mobile device under WiFi. This app stinks!

Have no issues when using data, but it doesn't remain stable when over wifi. I've listened on several different wifi connections and it is the same. Fix this and it gets a 5. Love the app when I don't have to worry about constant buffering but not willing to kill my data package.

It is always dropping the connection whether it is with my other smartphones or tablet. Even if when I am one foot away from the router, it keeps on dropping the connection. I found out that this is a frequent problem with this app. It does not reflect for a Bloomberg standard that we know of. This app needs to be overhauled to function properly.

I have a galaxy s4 and if another sound is made when this app is running, the phone locks up. This is the only app that does this. Even so, I really like having the content available.

honestly, it's great journalism. almost worth the commercials. almost. so, yah, too much advertising. but the main issue is the software itself. it's so buggy. one questions how the content can be accurate if their systems are so spotty. if they tune it up a little, it could be great.

I use this everyday and I have waited patiently for bug fixes that never come. I have to touch the app twice ro launch it. Once in the app turn phone to vibrate because any notifications will completely disrupt the app. You have to close and reopen. Get the picture? Please fix this app.

I have a samsun s5 this app crashes alot and slows down my phone. Please bug fix. Other then that Blomberg is pretty awesome

I love that I can listen to Bloomberg during my commute but the application is always cutting out and I have to restart it constantly. Seems to have gotten worse with the new Android 5.1. Please fix!!

App constantly drops connection even when signal is strong. Have to continually unlock device and open app to get it to reconnect. Issues with downloading offline content. Interface could use update.

If anything happens on your phone this will turn off...very annoying. A text, an email, or even a simple app notification and the radio turns off...useless for a smartphone

I love listening on my way to work in the morning, will continue to do so on the tune in radio app sigh.... . Recently changed phones from an LG G4 to a Samsung Galaxy s6. App worked perfectly fine on the LG device, not at all on the Samsung. Random crashes, intermittent phone freezing resulting in a need for a device reset. This is the same problem I had a couple of years ago on my Samsung note 2. You would think you figured this out by now.

I want to like this app, I really do. Content is good, but the app just sucks. If I get an email, my phone freezes. If I get a text, my phone freezes. Simply put, if I use my phone for anything but this app, my phone freezes.

Whenever the screen changes orientation and the app is open, the stream pauses. Also, it would be great if this had an alarm function. It would be amazing to get up to the radio.

I really liked this app and used it every day for quite some time, but recently it won't play anything other than the startup ad. It then constantly attempts to reload without success until I have to force close. Haven't been able to use for over a week. As it no longer works, giving it more than one star would be nonsense. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
