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.

Cuts out all the time, arrrgh! 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!
Dennis Harden
Terrible app I really like the content on Bloomberg. However this app constantly drops out while playing. I have this on both a Samsung note 2014 edition and on HTC One M8. Same problem on both devices even with a strong WiFi signal. I don't experience this issue with other streaming apps.

Ancient, horrible app This app is circa 2009. Please redesign and fix. Modern ui maybe, radio skip and rewind buttons that actually work instead of restarting the show. Not freezing after several minutes of running in the background... These would all be part basic improvements to deliver a usable product.

Still finicky, buggy Like programs and app for most part, except: Frustrating freezing on transition from wifi to cell data, and generally in closing the program. Constantly need to close program (often with difficulty) then reopen. I spend more time dealing with a frozen app than listening. Makes me avoid it, often turning to other streaming options that also carry BLOOMBERG radio.

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.

Intrusive ads The ads for Adobe white papers are not only anoying, they play at the moment that the news that is critical for investing decisions is being broadcast. The app should be smart enough to play the 'whitepaper' ads when New York regional ads are playing. I have used this app for 6 months and will be uninstalling shortly due to the intrusive ads
Issues on wifi 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.
Just changed to overall garbage. Very temperamental and frustrating to use. Plagued with random shutdowns. Thank god they finally dumped that unbelievable Adobe ad! Still,this app gets lost randomly and I have to restart it constantly. Unable to recover program stream any time there is a phone notification, so I have to restart the app. I just don't bother using it much anymore because it's so annoying to use. It's total frustration folks!
Keeps crashing on Samsung S6 Access bloomberg from TuneIn. Works better. Worked fine on my other Samsung devices but not on S6. If a notification or a call comes in, it either stays loading or quits altogether and I have to restart app. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Crappy radio app 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.
Bugs to fix When usb power is interrupted or phone notifications occur, app faults and cannot re-sync connection. Program has to be closed and restarted. Very annoying...listening on galaxy s4. Will 5 star once fixed.
MG Bloomberg should embarrassed to put out an app like this!!!! All it does is freeze!!! It was not like this a year ago, it actually worked pretty well for the most part. Has gotten progressively worse and now its horrible. Get in the ball and fix it....
Needs a Critical Upadate I love Bloomberg and the app is great. However, it has one major flaw. If there is a sound notification of some sort, such as messaging app notification, while the radio is playing, the radio stops and tries to reconnect. It always fails to reconnect, which means I have to manually stop and play again or reboot the app. Please correct this issue as it makes the app virtually unusable. Thank you.
Better than a kick in the teeth I'm giving this an extra star for the effort. It seems like after 3 years of woeful stability despite the lack of features some effort was made to clean this app up. It still hangs if you lose reception even if the whole track is buffered and restarts the track if you go into a tunnel, but its an improvement. It is clear though that the developers are themselves not regular users. I'm glad this was improved but as it stands this app still reflects poorly on bloomberg as a whole.
Other sounds lock up the phone. 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.
Recently stopped working 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.
Needs Improvement Good effort by Bloomberg by needs lot of improvements. Namely; slow in loading the app, user interface is very cheap looking, improve the voice quality, app icon is poorly designed not standard as a Bloomberg product. I actually expect a bloomberg standard app not below.
great content, but.. 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.
Too many problems The app keeps crashing, having troubles with connecting, i spend 10 min just for opening it. Program is good however but too many advertising.
Chrashes alot and slows down my phone 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 the shows. The app is horrible. 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.
MORE frustrating than dropping your phone in the toilets I can set my watch to the frequency that this app crashes. Bloomberg is an amazing company with amazing products, so I'm surprised they let this train wreck live on with its failures.
Great content when it works 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!!
White papers Audio white papers are boring, in fact you don't have to listen to them at all. Just uninstall this app at the top left corner of this screen.
The trouble maker! The content is great, but not the app. Always wonder how it passed QA test. On my new Samsung S6,it hangs everytime when signal is weak. I am not saying the app hangs by itself. The whole Android system hangs! Is this believable?
Great Content Terrible App Like everybody else, I love Bloomberg's content. Love the interviews, the market coverage, the news stories. The app is terrible though. I haven't been able to listen to an entire story before it cuts out. It just stops.
Using a reasonably new clean Galaxy S5, have to say this app is nearly useless. Worse than that actually, it's dangerous because I'm *trying* to use it in the car. Streams audio maybe 40% of the time, and about 20% of that are the annoying commercials that precede the stream starting. Yeah it streams real audio about 20% of the time. The rest of the time the app needs re-starting to fix yet another hang. Bloomberg please stop loading this app down with too many features. Name of the app is radio? Get it to do that first, please.
Love bloomberg. Hate the app Long standing problem where the playback quits when a notification arrives on the phone. Doesn't happen with any other playback app on my S5. I'm usually driving and can reload everything.
App fails regularly 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.
Very glitchy. Even more so now that im running 5.0 lollipop. Seems to have an issue with my S4 puzzle unlock screen. Also needs very good 4g service or it stops working, where as spotify will still be fine.
Constantly Turns Itself Off 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
Bloomberg has great business news and interviews, but this app has too many ads. Too much time is wasted listening to ads and most business people do not want to waste time. Some of the ads are ludicrous and reflect poorly on Bloomberg.
Do not download it on a Samsung device 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.
Very buggy Does not load properly I have to restart the app. It plays audio for about 5 minutes. Before stopping then never returns playing. Until I restart the app. I am on a strong WiFi signal.
App needs alot of work Hi guys, I just thought to let you know that this app needs lots of work to get it perfect. non of the below comments has been fixed
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.
Never Exits Even if you try and turn this off, it will continue showing in your notification bar. You have to actually force exit via setting/ apps. It's ridiculous. Please fix this.
Doesn't work on the Nexus 6P! The app was always a terrible one but the content made me hold onto it. I then got myself a Nexus 6P & wow does this app stink or what! It just doesn't work. PS: It works now. The app is disappointing nevertheless.
Doesn't work Opens to a black screen that says downloading content. Never gets past the screen.
