Google Now

One of the most notable innovations in the new version of the operating system Android, better known as Jelly Bean, is your voice assistant, a simple tool to search for any type of information and capable of standing up tohimself Siri, the assistant of Apple Little by little Google Now , which is the name it has been given, is improving. This time with an update that increases its possibilities to present more information of interest to the user.

For those who don't know, this is an evolution of the voice search tool of Google Thus, we can now ask a question orally and, what is more important, of human form, as if we were consulting a friend. With this, we can avoid dictating loose terms, but raise a question with all the words By doing so, Google Now answers our questions by displaying on the screen the information requested in a comfortable and attractive way, accompanied by a voice.

Well, if it already offered us information such as the weather weather of an area, a tour alternative or the result of a match through its features and stylish cards , now expands your possibilities with three new types of these tools to present information more comfortably and in a more complete way Specifically, now we can find out more specific information about movies A simple question allows us to know where and at what time we can see the films in the cinema closest to our position. A complete billboard just a question away.

The second type of card is used to inform the user of public alerts Thus it is possible to know if there is any weather hazard or other emergency that needs to be known. All this through a specific screen. Finally, we have included the possibility of choosing our favourite football, basketball, hockey and baseball teams With this we can quickly know the most outstanding results achieved by them, asking naturally.

These cards can be customized from the Settings menu of the application itself. Here it is possible to configure that the movie information be displayed when we are near a cinema, choose our favorite sports teams and the commented emergency cardsEverything to accommodate this voice assistant to our needs. Of course, it seems that all these improvements are not yet available in our country, so we will have to wait a little longer to get the most out of this useful tool.

The update is only available for version Jelly Bean of the operating system Android , so few users can already test these improvements. On the plus side, as always, this is a completely free update that can be downloaded via Google Play or more conveniently through the application of this application market: Play Store Hopefully it will soon be implemented in Spain, and hopefully, in a greater number of devices
