It was genuinely useful (the update cards for appointments or travel were brilliant), didn't get in the way and wasn't infested with "news". I say "news" when I mean rage/clickbait and adverts.

    It was too effective at helping us use our phones less, which means fewer ads viewed. Some functionality such as the commute time cards came back, but it not nearly as effective fashion. And nothing has really replicated now on tap's abilities.

    I was genuinely impressed with google now. Wether the complaints about it being to intrusive, or just lack ad revenue killed it. But for a short time my life was really improved by this service running on my phone.
