Introducing the brand new MSN iPad app

The iPad app follows hot on the heels of MSN's first Xbox app, released last December.

What's in the MSN app?

The MSN app for iPad presents the same exclusive and original content as found on the new-look MSN UK.

It’s easy to find what you want with stories being split into six main channels: News, Sport, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Cars and Video. You'll also find our pick of the day's best features' in Editor's Picks.

Search the MSN app with Bing
Just like its desktop counterpart, the MSN iPad app uses Bing to search the web. The Bing search box can be found at the top of your screen. To perform a search just tap into the Bing search box located at the top of the app. Don't worry about having to exit the app, Bing will perform a web search without leaving the app - just hit 'search' on the keyboard to begin. When you're done, tap the blue 'Done' button to close the search window.
