Awful
rhill85
Terrible update that takes a huge step back from previous versions (can I have the 2012 version back?). Old app felt like reading a digital version of the print magazine and was easy to view downloaded issues at a glance. New one feels like scrolling through a poorly designed website, and makes viewing downloaded issues very labor intensive (e.g. Full size screen shots mean an entire page scroll per issue). Don't update if you can avoid it.
Worst Update Ever!

I freed up space to download the latest issue and I'm getting not enough space despite having o we 200MBs of space, also no support for the newest version of this app. The app is broken Fix it Bloomberg. Update: won't recognize my subscription despite the fact I'm signed in and a CURRENT SUBSCRIBER!
Messed with Perfection. Now POS.

Updated BW app won't validate my account saying it's expired despite expiry is in 2 years. Why publish before testing BW? Will miss content while traveling.
Terrible App

When this app was revised it became a piece of junk. I had been using the old app for years. I would download on Friday and read the issue on Sunday when I flew out for work. Now I find half the time it hadn't downloaded properly; usually discovered too late on the plane. I can't believe how BBW went from a great, easy to use app to a worthless piece of junk!
New version is a poor design
Gourmatt
I wish they hadn't updated to the new design. It is more difficult to manage downloaded issues (where is the thumbnail view? ). Article layout is clunky... when reaching the end of the article it's not clear that you're at the end until the whole article bounces. Sometimes pages don't load. And a few times I've just gotten black pages and the app crashes. The past design was fine. Why change what works?
Great Magazine - Crappy App
Rudy Serna
Businessweek as a magazine is great, objective and well written. The app is the contrary, badly coded and very unstable. The new app is even worse than the old one. Although it says that an issue has been downloaded, it's false. Most of the articles are partially downloaded. So, if you go offline, you won't be able to read them. It doesn't help to cancel the subscription because they won't give you back the money.
New Design is Horrible

Doesn't feel like a structured magazine anymore, rather a collection of articles from the web. No flow, and the older layout was visually more appealing. Please go back
Trash

The new Businessweek app is trash. Issues I noticed the first time I used the new version: The subscription login data doesn't carryover to new version There are about 5 layers of data needed to even login. As a paper subscriber it was very difficult to provide the various credentials required to even get access to the issues. Many articles in the issues I previously downloaded to be available offline simply aren't visible without wifi. On iPad in landscape mode the text still presents itself as if it were in portrait mode. It is extremely difficult to navigate the new layout and figure out what articles are located where. Advice: your old version was great. I know the supply for developers is thin, so either go back to the old version or hire some competent developers instead of bums off the street.
Bad App, Bad, Bad, Bad!

This is the worst experience I've had with a Bloomberg app. The orange colored app worked perfectly but this black colored app is crap. I couldn't get the label data correct: the account number as highlighted and entered failed. The account number and date didn't work- my date and the illustration date are different and it failed. The email and zip code combination required several additional log in steps as did the mailing address with zip code combination. Requiring me to login with Twitter or Facebook is crap. I'm a subscriber and shouldn't need all these layers to read my magazine. I'm deleting the application. comfy
