Microsoft Universal Bing Apps Bunch Update for Windows Phone

Last April 2nd, during their Build Conference in San Francisco, Microsoft promised to bring universal apps to Windows Phone. Download the app once and have it installed on all devices. Since the Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview release, developers slowly rolled out the update to their apps to support it. Bing apps were slowly updated to bring universal apps to Windows Phone users. As far as I can remember, the first Bing app to receive the update is the Bing News app. After the update you can notice a resemblance with the desktop app.

Just recently, app updates popped up in the store and guess what? Bing apps are here again but the good news is, they will now support universal apps for Windows devices. It's not just one, but six of them: Bing Weather, Bing Health & Fitness, Bing Sports, Bing Finance, Bing Food & Drink, and Bing News.
These apps were once the default apps for Windows 8 PC but now, it's extended to Windows Phone as one with the desktop. Download each one on the Windows Store through each link above.
