The Google Search App for iOS has been updated with some big improvements to Google Now. Google is constantly updating, improving and expanding on its range of apps, and now the official Google Search app for iOS has been given a very generous update. Natually Google tends to prioritize its own Android mobile OS and nearly all the enhancements can already be found on their Android version in the Play Store, but nevertheless, Google Search v 3.1.0 for iOS is one of the most significant updates we have seen in a long time.
The new updated app has the ability to run a voice search in-app by uttering the phrase �OK Google,� as seen with Google Now over on the Android platform. This implementation makes the whole process just a little smoother, and a little cooler. The voice feature as you can imagine works on devices that are capable of running Siri, so that is the iPhone 4s or newer.
When you install the new version of this app, you will also see that you can set up notifications for certain events relating to public transport, such as the last bus home, or news on any significant delays or cancellations. Google Search will also remember things for you so that you don't forget. For example, if you need to remember to pick up something from the store on your way home, you can just ask Google to do it with a �remind me� command. You will then receive a notification at the right time and place. Pretty cool isn't it?
You can also set reminders for things like entertainment and such as well as find out when a certain actor or musician is releasing new content, be it a movie, album, or tickets to a live show. It's a great way to ensure that you don't miss your favorite band ever again.
There are improvements to the home page too as well as a bunch of new gestures. Overall, it really is a great update to the app and to find out more all you have to do is download it and start using it.
