Today, Microsoft release a half dozen MSN apps<\/strong> to the App Store and Google Play. The apps include MSN-branded apps for News, Weather, Sports, Food & Drink, Money, and Health & Fitness. These apps are basically redesigned version of the Bing apps, a brand label Microsoft is abandoning in favor of the more universally known MSN.<\/p>\n

MSN users can look forward to all the apps being connected to your MSN account<\/strong>. This means you can sync all your favorite stocks, sports teams, and news sources between the apps for a curated experience.<\/p>\n

The most interesting app from today\u2019s announcement is MSN Health & Fitness<\/strong>, which works with Apple\u2019s HealthKit<\/a> platform to serve step counts, runs, and dieting information into Apple\u2019s Health app.<\/p>\n

Strangely, Microsoft didn\u2019t think to release an MSN Weather app for iPhone. Yahoo, one of Microsoft\u2019s biggest competitors, has a beautiful (and useful) weather app for both Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These MSN apps help bring Microsoft\u2019s aging MSN portal into the modern era. Still, it\u2019ll be an uphill battle against Yahoo, which also features similar apps and a popular online web portal.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is slowly becoming less about Windows and Office and more about getting its services onto as many platforms as possible<\/strong>. Office is now free to use for everyone<\/a>, even on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n
