You can monitor 'Market' charts that illustrate Dow, NASDAQ, S&P 500 and world markets across a day, week, month, year or five years. You can catch up on the day's financial news and major indices using a single 'Today' screen. This app is only available for Windows and Android today, but it should be released for iOS within a few months. This feature alone is great for planning travel, as you can see, for instance, which months are the rainiest and driest on average in your destination. A 'Historical' feature shows a graph of month-by-month historical averages in temperatures and rainfall for specific locations. The 'Favorites' feature lets you see current weather conditions for your favorite cities in one glance, so there's no need to swipe between screens. It has two features I've not seen in other weather apps. MSN Weather is one of my favorites among the new MSN-branded apps, and I plan to use it regularly. All of the following, except for MSN Weather, are available on the Google Play, Amazon, Apple and Windows app stores. I checked out all six apps, primarily on Android, and they're all worth a look - but I do like a few more than others. Microsoft this week released a set of well designed apps for Android, iOS and, of course Windows, each with a specific focus, such as news, weather, sports, health or money.
