Contact Bloomberg Support

I enjoy Bloomberg news and the news app on my iPhone. However I subscribed under their promo for $90 for six months and then that rolled over to an exorbitantly priced $200 for six months. At the time when that happened I thought I was getting a year at that rate. When I realized six months later and they roll me over again at $200 that this was only for six months and I was spending $400 every year for news that I only read lightly I requested that they cancel the renewal and refund the $200. it had only been a few days since they rolled me over and they had never sent me any advance notice that the charge was going to go through for a six month additional subscription. They were very rude and totally disinterested in meeting my needs and refused to cancel the renewal and refund my money or even give me a prorated refund. They just kept going back to their subscription policy which is 100% inflexible. This kind of subscription policy is a great way to ruin relationships with supposedly valued clients and they should be ashamed of themselves. Once the six-month period is over I will make sure to never subscribe to Bloomberg again.

I pay the $35 monthly subscription fee, and am overwhelmed with ads in every article I read. The static ads are one image block, repeated multiple times through the body of the article, and the ad blocks are replaced rapidly every few seconds, with a new ad image. While this new ad image is loading, the text jumps as the last ad image was removed, because it takes up less space now, but there is still a big blank spot on the screen. When the new multiple-image ad loads throughout the article text, the article text jumps again to make room for the ad. Now I’m also getting ads that arrive with sound on, loading in one mystery location in the article, that you can’t turn off the sound. If you touch the playing ad wrong, Safari is opened because it wants to sell you NOW! These sound ads also heat up the iPad because it’s processing so furiously. Hey Mike, Why should I pay the $35 if I can’t read through an article? Are you listening?

This is supposed to be for business professionals. Even for paying subscribers, the ads are on, there is no way to turn them off, and extremely irritating videos selling useless stuff keeps playing automatically with audio as you scroll to read the news. This is not just distracting, and causes you to lose focus on the news articles, but for business professionals, you cannot use this app in business settings (like a meeting) because the audio for these ad videos will play automatically while you are reading an article. And they have multiple of these audios per news article, so a video could play 3 times or more as you scroll thru to read a single article. And there is no way to turn this off. And note again, that this is for a PAID subscription. Unacceptable. Turn off all ads for paid subscribers, or make it free.
