Gone are the times where Office integration and the best email experience like Outlook were exclusive to Windows Phone.
With Cortana being currently tested both on iOS (now) and Android (since August), Microsoft is drawing in new users to its services and giving those very users cross-platform integration with the same. Outlook soon followed suite and just recently we saw Bing launch on iOS as well. It all started with a surprising move to bring all of its Office apps to iOS and Android. And while it may seem that Microsoft is favouring Apple with its recent launch of the Bing for iOS app, in reality, it is simply trying to make its core apps/services available cross-plaform.
The new app that is currently only available for testers is Cortana for iOS. Have an idea for how we can improve your experience on Android Wear and Apple Watch?
