Bloomberg

Business news with a market focus

Bloomberg brings business, finance, technology and global market coverage into one Android app. It suits readers who want more than general headlines, especially people tracking companies, economic developments and events that can affect markets. The app is published by Bloomberg LP CM and sits in the News & Magazines category.

What you can follow

The service combines written reporting with market information, analysis and video programming. Bloomberg TV provides a live news stream, while Bloomberg Originals adds longer-form programmes and features covering subjects such as technology, business and sustainability. That mix makes the app useful for both quick checks during the day and more deliberate viewing when a story needs context.

• Business and financial news from around the world
• Market coverage alongside reporting and analysis
• Live Bloomberg TV programming
• Video series and original Bloomberg content

Best for regular news readers

Bloomberg is most relevant to users who follow markets or want a business-led view of international news. Its broad coverage may feel more detailed than necessary if you only need occasional headlines, but that depth is part of the reason to choose it over a general news reader. Video gives the app another way to keep up when reading is not convenient.

What the current numbers show

The app has recorded 1,000,000+ installs. Its current rating is 2.51 out of 5 from 1,970 ratings, a mixed result that suggests the experience does not work equally well for everyone. Those figures are worth considering alongside the app’s specialist focus: Bloomberg offers a substantial stream of business and market content, but it is designed for users who will make regular use of that coverage.
