Bing Updates iOS App Adding Swipeable Trends & Redesign Home Screen

Check out the new updated Bing mobile app that has a fully redesigned home screen and new features to make searching on the go more enjoyable.

Bing announced they pushed out a new update to their iOS app adding a redesigned home screen, trending topics via a swipe pull out and easier navigation. They also added Bing Translate integration on the iPad version and an improved iOS widget for showing the image of the day and trending stories.

The new home screen is better optimized for the larger iPhone devices by enlarging the search box and moving it to the middle of the screen.
