Microsoft has released five new apps for iOS devices under their MSN branding. The new apps bring news, health, sports, financial, and food related apps to the iPhone and iPad that were previously Windows Phone-only.

This launch follows the recent expansion of Microsoft’s Office for iOS suite to the iPhone that produced standalone versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to Apple’s smartphone devices.

All of the MSN apps are free to download, available now in the iOS App Store. Microsoft has also made versions of the apps available to Android users via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
Bringing the MSN apps to the iOS and Android platforms is part of a larger initiative under Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to drive the adoption of the company’s desktop and cloud services by making its mobile apps available across all of the major platforms.
