Google
(http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/18/9754310/microsoft-bing-iphone-app-update
Nov 18 2015)
The new Bing for iPhone app does a good job of providing useful
results that aren’t just a list of text or Wikipedia links. For
films Bing lists their Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings and even
iOS apps like Netflix or iTunes where you can buy or rent titles.
It’s even clever enough to remove options for Spotify for artists
like Taylor Swift that keep their latest albums off of most
streaming services.
• Cult of Mac: Bing’s redesigned iPhone app focuses on instant
answers (http://www.cultofmac.com/398079/bing-iphone-redesign/ Nov

When you conduct a search it’s clear Bing tries very hard to figure
out what you’re looking for and just give it to you. Displaying
search results is the last resort. Finding what you’re looking for
now takes much less time.
