The Bloomberg Professional iPad app has long been touted as the mobile gateway to full desktop features and functions since launching in 2010. It allows users to receive customized price and news alerts, monitor events and markets, view charts, research securities, send and receive messages, use IB and more. Bloomberg released a major app update in October 2015 for all iPad and iPhone customers.
"Bloomberg has been innovating on mobile for over a decade and it is an important part of our strategy to continue to optimize the experience we bring to our customers," said Philip Miller, Head of Research and Development for Bloomberg Professional Mobile.
