14 DAY TRIAL // Today, owners of Windows Phone 8 devices out there can download and install updated versions of the Bing Weather and Bing Sports apps.
Following the upgrade to the new flavor of Bing Weather, users will see that current snow and weather conditions at ski resorts around the world are now available for them.
Additionally, the application was updated with the option to display weather history and additional metrics like the UV index.
“And that’s not all. Other notable changes include revamped Live Tiles displaying current conditions, wind-speed, and precipitation—with a 5-day forecast on the flip side,” Microsoft’s Michael Stroh explains in a blog post.
“But my favorite addition is new lock screen support for at-a-glance weather updates. Give it a try and see what you think.”
As mentioned above, the Bing Sports application has been updated as well, now providing users with the possibility to enjoy expanded coverage.
There are 30 new sports that one can keep an eye on, including tennis, rugby, NASCAR, LPGA, and Champions League soccer.
“The app already supplies top headlines, scores, schedules, standings, and stats. But now you can also track sports and players that matter to you most—so the app feels a lot more personal,” the aforementioned blog post continues.
At the same time, the updated Bing Sports for Windows Phone 8 comes with the ability to show leading teams and players on league and team pages.
Both of these applications are available for download for free to all Windows Phone 8 users out there and pack support for no less than 50 languages each. You can find both of them listed on Softpedia, via the links below.
At the moment, Bing Weather for Windows Phone 8 is up for grabs as version 2.0.2.170, while Bing Sports is available at version 2.0.2.177.
