In November 2009 Bing team released Bing iPhone and iPod touch App and received great feedback from people with suggestions for improvements. Bing app is just updated to 1.1 which was released on 19 March 2010. This update has a number of stability fixes and usability tweaks, especially in image search, and design updates have made options and dialog boxes easier to use. it also adds a few major features and improvements, including:

Bing App Bookmarks and improved web browsing

Bookmarks and improved web browsing:  you can now bookmark maps, directions, web sites, businesses, search terms, even the weather report, and get to the bookmarks right from the Bing home page.

 

Sharing:  you can share interesting results with your friends using e-mail.

Copy and paste URLs: you told us and we listened! We now support copying and pasting URLs.

Bing App Parental control on search settings

Parental control on search settings: we helped make search safer by letting you set a SafeSearch level and create a passcode so it can’t be changed. This is a benefit for parents who want to make sure the kids are only going to safe sites on their devices.

 

Search history and private search:  you can now view and edit your search history.  You can also search the web without saving your history on the device using private search.

Explicit location setting: let your iPhone find you or set a specific location so you can search near there (super useful when you’re going to travel to another city and want to find things around there).

Tighter integration of contacts in directions:  Bing now autosuggests contacts from your address book when you enter start and end locations in directions.

Support for 1st generation iPod touch devices: we now support all versions of iPod touch.

You can get it for free from the App Store on your device or use iTunes to download it.
