Search Google on the go

Google, formerly known as Google Search, puts the power of the search giant on your iPhone. It features everything you expect from the desktop version, plus voice search.

Google where and when you need it

You can search the internet with Google using iOS's Safari, Chrome, or any other installed browser, so why would you want a standalone Google App? Google's answer to that is that this app focuses on the world around you, where you actually use your smartphone. This means that you can use voice search rather than having to focus your attention on entering text, and make easy use of your device's GPS functionality to find desired services and locations near you.

Simple searches and ample apps

Tap the microphone button, then say what you want to search for, and (most of the time) Google will successfully find what you are after. Other than that, a selection of intuitive taps and swipes manage all of your browsing needs.

Google has an Apps button too - this leads you to the full suite of Google Apps, from Google Earth, to YouTube. The user experience here is a bit mixed and dependent on what you already have installed. Some open on a browser in app, while others - like YouTube - will either open the app itself or take you to the App Store to download it. While this does kick you out of the main app, the speedy access it provides to other, relevant services can prove useful.

On the Go-ogle

Google is an excellent search app. Though much of its functionality can now be found in Chrome, the streamlined on-the-go interface justifies its value as an additional standalone app. The access to other Google products could be better integrated, but does prove a handy shortcut.

Quick Access To Your Favorite Google Services. Google Mobile App allows you quick access to your favorite Google Services including Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs to name a few. All within a touch away. It makes it a lot easier than using your browser to go to these places individually as well.The downside is there is no push notifications for it, so you won't know when you get new mail. You also have to always sign in to the service to use it. Also there is the fact it opens your browser and takes you to the service rather than runs the service from the app itself.All and all if you just want a simple solution to have all your favorite services be just a touch away, Google Mobile Apps does a good job. I wish they made everything work directly from the app and added push notifications but it seems that will never happen. Pros: Easy Access To Your Favorite Google ServicesA lot Easier Than Using Your Browser ItselfFree Cons: No Push NotificationsOpens Browser From Within The AppHave To Always Log In To Use The Service

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
