Brand New Bing Apps On Windows 8.1

With Windows 8.1 in the market, customers are very anxious to get their hands on the new improved version of the Windows 8. One of the prominent apps that come pre-installed in Windows 8.1 is the Bing app, about which Microsoft made an official blog highlighting some of its cool and new features, as well as introducing two new apps in the suite.

In the official blog post the software giant stated, "Bing apps bring the content that matters the most to you in one gorgeous experience. These apps make the stuff you care about – news, finance, weather, sports, travel, food, health – visually vibrant, easy to use, and available at a glance when working side-by-side."

The new Windows 8.1 operating system features larger tiles, while including the brand new Bing app right in its Start screen. In addition Microsoft told customers to expect two new apps the Health& Fitness app and Food & Drink app.

The Health & Fitness app is a special app that concentrates on proper diet regiments, exercise and aids in tracking health and workouts. It also features step-by-step instructional videos that cover 1000 different exercises and 220 workout, aimed to target all muscles of the body. This is an ideal app for fitness nuts.

For those of you who call themselves a foodie, Microsoft has unveiled the Food & Drink app which features a hands-free cooking mode allowing you o move through every step of a recipe without having to touch the device. This new app is great for stay-at-home mums, and chefs. With many savory delicacies included anyone can cook without having to touch the device and messing it up. All you have to do is wave your hands in front of the device’s camera.

Microsoft also added, “Whether you update your Windows 8 device or buy a device with Windows 8.1, I can’t wait for everyone to be able to try these new apps. You’ll be able to do this starting October 18th!"

The new Windows 8.1 will also carry the essentials like Bing News, Weather, Finance and Sports all in exclusive apps. These new features and tools in Windows 8.1 is surely great news for many prospective customers. Hopefully these apps, which seem to establish a personal connection with the device, salvage Microsoft’s lost reputation, much of it lost due to the original Win 8 operating system. Windows 8.1 is a free update for those who already own a Win 8 license.
