I love the promise of Google Now and it's the reason I switch to my Android phone every now and then to see how it's going. But it isn't as good as advertised. The only thing that it is very good with is sports (upcoming games, results, live scores). Everything else is hit or miss and when you're supposed to forget everything else and rely on it that's just not good enough. I wish it was everything it promised because I love the idea but I've found it lacking.
- mercury_craze 12y agoI've found the traffic warning notifications extremely useful, they've given me prior warning of heavy traffic on plenty of occasions and saved me countless hours of sitting in traffic jams. I've been extremely happy with how integrated they've become into my daily routine. I've also got the email integration turned on and I've been impressed with the integration with ticketmaster. It knew that I was going to see a concert, knew how long it would take to get there for its start time and knew how long it would take to get home.

If you don't, Google Now won't be as 'good as advertised' because it relies on that data which may not seem obvious at first (by the way, Windows Phone's Cortana is much better at requesting and displaying the background data it needs; Microsoft has leap frogged Google and Apple already). I use Google Mail, Maps and, most importantly, Calendar. I've opted to share the information from those services with Google Now. I've found it's very reliable and useful.
