Bing Comes To The iPhone – App Review

Microsoft doesn’t make much Application on their rival Apple’s iPhone AppStore. But with the limited number of apps in their App Store I’d say that their Bing App is pretty impressive. At least it’s much better then their competitor the Google Mobile App.

They both offer voice over search, and with few test I did the result is pretty accurate.

I personally like the layout of the Bing, it pretty much adopted the desktop’s design and put it into an iPhone App.

you can see those hover over box just like you would see in the regular website, smooth animation between the box.

Map shows little bid delay then the Google Map, I guess the only way that keeps me away using their map is that it doesn’t offer real time traffic where as Google did in their map. But overall it’s much the same if you don’t consider that Google has street view option.

Their image search is some thing nice to see, I’d say that it’s even better then flicker’s iPhone App.

Over all it offers more then what Google has offered in their application, all Google Mobile’s App does is just the link to a safari browser and goes to their mobile version, which in another way it losses the point of having an mobile application.
