Since introducing Google Now functionality to the Google Search app several months back, Google has been steadily working to improve the experience for iOS users. With the latest update, the app is as on par with its Android counterpart as it has ever been.
The new update brings a slew of enhancements including notifications, more Google Now cards (public transit info and flight updates, to name a couple), and the ability to perform a hands-free voice search. To do so, users simply need to speak the phrase “OK, Google” followed by their query. Reminders based on time and location can also be set by voice.
Beyond functionality improvements, the app also gets a few interface and usability tweaks. The homepage has been simplified, image results can now be swiped away, and Google has implemented one touch sign in.
The latest update to Google Search can be found in the App Store now as a free download.
