MSN Movies App Updated – Gets a Touch of Mango

August 21, 2011 No Comments

MSN Movies app by Microsoft was updated recently and it has signs of Mango goodness. Even though I found that it doesn’t have that awesome auto resume on multitasking (something I uncovered on the recently updated HTC apps). It does however show up when you search for movies on Bing. When you press it it takes you directly to the movie on the application. You can even purchase tickets to a show right from the app.
