Bloomberg app won't launch after v2.0.5 update

I downloaded the latest Bloomberg update (v2.0.5) into iTunes on my Mac Pro, and then I connected and synced my iPod Touch. My Bloomberg app now fails to launch. The initial Bloomberg screen appears for a few seconds, but then I get sent back to the main iPod Touch screen. Shutting down and restarting my iPod did not help, nor did re-synching via iTunes.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Did you find a solution? Is it possible to revert my Bloomberg app back to its previous version without affecting all my other apps? Thanks!

is it just the bloomberg app, or is it others?

this is quite a common problem, which normally affects all apps. the two solutions generally suggested are a reset of the ipod (hold down home and power button until you get an apple on the screen) or downloading another app (any seems to do it)

if you downloaded it via your computer, have you tried downloading it straight to you ipod using wifi? or have you tried deleting it and downloading it again?

if it is just that app, it may be a problem with the update, in which case it may be a good idea to contact the manufacturer/go to their website and see if any problems have been reported in any forums they may have.

another thing i've just thought of, and i'm not sure whether this will work, but when i go into the apps folder via mymusic and itunes, (on a windows machine, not sure about mac) there are usually multiple versions of the same app listed if they've been upgraded. you could try deleting the most recent one and then resyncing.
