Id' really like to have some opinions about Google Now that everyone seems to find awesome. Let's start with the fact that if I want to set a reminder and I don't have an internet connection I can't. Since when having an internet connection is a prerequisite for even basic tasks? Secondly, of all the suggestions it gave me over the months based on my search history none has been helpful. None. If you search for the same things everyday you'll not get related suggestions, but as soon as you search something like the name of that actor that now eludes you, you'll get 2-3 tabs with the latest news on that actor, even though there's no value in it: you already found what you searched for and it was a one time thing. It keeps telling me the time to work even though by now it should've known when it is appropriate to do so. I mean, it's 4 pm, I didn't move from home, do you really think I'm gonna be 7 hours late to work and it's now a good time to remind me?
- mark_l_watson 12y agoI was praising Google Now for its potential. I agree that some of the proffered help can be silly. I find the most useful alerts come from the automated reading of my email; for example: plane schedules and also information on package delivery. So, I really do believe that Google Now has a lot of potential, but I have concerns about privacy also.
