Google Search Update Brings Google Now Widget, New Cards, and More
We knew it was coming, and like I predicted, it took less than a week for an update to bring us the new Google Now widget. Lucky for us, that’s not the only addition made in the latest update to the Google Search app.
If you’re fortunate enough to be running Android 4.1 or above, you’ll not only get the new widget, but new cards as well:
- Movie passes from Fandango
- Movies now includes ratings from Rotten Tomatoes
- Real estate listings from Zillow when in the market for a home
- Music button when a song is playing in voice mode (US only)
- Support for US college sports
Google has big plans for Google Now and reminds us that this is only the fourth update since its launch — so expect big things!
If you haven’t already grabbed the latest version of the Google Search app for Android, simply follow the Play link below and start enjoying your new Google Now features… now.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
