Google Search (iOS) Review
The good: Google Search gives you the power of the company's popular search engine, access to Google apps, Voice Search speeds that top those of Apple's Siri, and Google Now.
The bad: Interacting with Google apps is still a little rough around the edges, with display problems and some lack of functionality. Google Now seems to be hit-or-miss.
The bottom line: With access to Google apps and Google Now, and Voice Search results that even Siri can't match for speed, this app is a must-download.
