Even die-hard apple fans are already resigned to the fact that Apple is in no hurry to release Siri in Russian. It is said that it is too late. Upgrade Advisor from Google is much more than that of Siri, and the Russian language for it - as a native.
For those who do not know what Google Now, - is a personal assistant that answers questions and commands and provides personalized information based on your interests.
For example, if you live in Moscow, every morning you will have to wait for the weather forecast for the day. But once you take a vacation in another country, as Google will immediately understand it and change the forecast. One can cite dozens of similar examples. For a complete list of commands available to Google Now here.
Even Google Now will be very useful to those who use Google services on an ongoing basis. And it's not just Gmail and search, but also YouTube, Google+ and Google Maps. Analyzing all of your actions in this service, Google gives a really cool tips. Here, for example, is one of them.
Noticing that I shall hear the new single to the holes The Black Keys on YouTube, Google said that their album is already out and it would be good to buy it, not to listen the same song in a circle.
Google Now can also be used as a reminder. That's only drawback is that, as I did not shout into the microphone, "Remind me to buy a case», Google gave only search by this phrase. Although I must automatically set a reminder.
In any case, it certainly will soon be repaired, and reminders can be accessed without a voice command. They are available in the bottom pane.
What else can Google Now? From the standard:
- to remind you of birthdays
- show stopper on chastoispolzuemyh routes
- quotations of your shares
- the weather in this region
- parse the flight tickets in your Gmail, and remind you of the road to the airport, taking into account traffic jams and other data
- the same with the backup or at booking.com AirBNB
- …and much more!
It's all there for a long time and is known to many. Let's look at a more interesting features:
- parcel tracking - if a notice with a tracking number will come to the post office, the Google Now can track the parcel and notify you when it will arrive at your destination
- show the status of your flight
- reminded of their favorite team matches
- reminding the release of series of favorite TV shows and releases musical groups
- show updates from your favorite sites
Can Google Now replace Siri? Of course it can! For all the time using iPhone (over a year), I took advantage of Siri only a few times. First time with trembling hands in anticipation of something incredible, but other times, just trying to give her another chance.
As would be sad as it may sound, but Siri in our region - absolutely useless thing. Can not be said about Google Now. In addition to the presence of the Russian language, it shows really useful information at the right time.
And now for the cons. To view this Google Now requires the inclusion of geolocation services. Google swears that it has practically no effect on the operating time of the device. But I have other information. The day use Google Now consumes about 10 percent of the extra charge.
Cons on this come to an end and there are only positive impressions. Google Now - a really cool service, and the number of situations in which he can be useful, rolls over. Therefore, if you do not mind spending the extra 10% charge, safely install this magical app on your iPhone!
