Microsoft is rolling out updates to the Bing app suite for Windows Phone, dropping the Bing branding in favor of the new MSN brand. On top of that, the Bing Finance app is now known as MSN Money. Head over to the Windows Phone Store to snag these updates.
These apps include News, Weather, Travel, Finance, Sports, Health & Fitness, and Food & Drink. These newly branded apps are currently only available on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, but will soon be available for those on iOS and Android, with the ability to roam settings across all experiences.
Microsoft recently revamped the MSN website with responsive design, making MSN a go-to portal for all things news. These apps are the perfect complement to the new website.
