With the advancement of technology
and the progression of the world to be so reliant on something that can fit in
your hand (cough*, cough*, Iphone), the capabilities of the smart phone are
endless. In the past, people would wake up in the morning, go to their
doorstep, pick up the newspaper, and read it. This was their way of obtaining
news, the simple and efficient way. As technology progressed, people were made
able to simply flip on the television, or turn on the radio, and obtain news
quickly and effortlessly. When smartphones and laptops became prevalent in
society, it opened up the options to obtaining news. Now, an individual can
download a news app and get updates on urgent or breaking news, thus making the
process of taking in news even more effortless. As well, there are news
applications for just about every news outlet these days. On my phone in
particular, I have the New York Times, CNN, Fox, Bloomberg, and a few other
news applications. Although I only use a few of them, I enjoy having some
variety when choosing which news outlet has more appealing stories.
Bloomberg Makes The Stock Market Simple and Convenient
In particular, my favorite app is the Bloomberg app. One
day, I decided that I wanted to make myself feel better about my knowledge in
news and the economy. As a result, I downloaded the Bloomberg app and allowed
for full “Push Notifications.” Now, whenever I wake up, I will have a barrage
of news notifications on the economy and stock market. The bottom of the
application has four buttons in which you can select and go to the information
page. These include: “News,” “Markets,” “My Stocks,” and “Stock Finder.” My
personal favorite aspect about this app is the News section. In the news
section it has a few subsections (Videos, Worldwide, Exclusive, and Bloomberg
Radio). Some of the Worldwide News stories even include videos to watch on the
go. All of the articles that are uploaded to the application are relevant to
the economy and useful for those interested in the stock market. With a touch
of the screen, any iPhone user can check how the U.S stock market, or any other
countries stock market is performing. For someone interested in starting up in
the stock market or keeping track of their current stocks, the Bloomberg app is
perfect. It supplies its users with an immense amount of information that
include trend maps, past performance, related news, and all information related
to the particular stock. By simply turning the iPhone landscape, the trend maps
and past performance charts appear on the screen. Under the “Markets” tab, you
can track the different markets such as Bonds, Currencies, Commodities, Equity
Indices, and Equity Index Futures. The ease of use and great color scheme
(Black background with white and orange writing) makes the Bloomberg app a
priority on my list of IPhone Apps. Who needs a radio anymore when it’s
included right on the app? Sometimes, I lie back in bed and listen to analysts
talk about potential stocks that I am interested in or just about the economic
performance. The app is a major reason behind my knowledge when pertaining to
the economy and stock market. A CNET editor praised the application for itsstock market section, “Even better, entering stocks and your share holdings
into the My Stocks folder creates a personalized portfolio you can watch for
daily fluctuation.” Everything on it is in a neat, orderly fashion and is extremely informational.
The ease of use and great color scheme (Black background with white and orange
writing) makes the Bloomberg app a priority on my list of IPhone Apps. All in
all, I would recommend that anyone interested in learning more about the
economy should download the Bloomberg app. Overall, I would give the Bloomberg
app a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
