Bloomberg unveils new app for iPad Pro

Bloomberg announced Friday a new application on the iPad Pro for its terminal subscribers.

The new app is specifically designed for the 12.9-inch Retina display of iPad Pro and includes Apple Pencil functionality.

Key features include a split-view capability, which allows customers to view additional Bloomberg features and apps side-by-side, and picture-in-picture capabilities allowing customers to work while viewing Bloomberg TV in a moveable, resizeable window that floats over other apps onscreen.

“We are seeing a significant increase in mobile adoption among our users year-over-year, and our customers want access to their information – with the same productivity and speed – wherever they are, no matter which device they are using,” said Ben Macdonald, Bloomberg’s global head of product, in a statement.

Bloomberg released a major app update in October 2015 for all iPad and iPhone customers.
