You can now use Google Now on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch with version 3.0 of the Google Search app. Accidentally revealed in a promotional video last month, the service has been available on Android since July last year.

Google Now gives you more intelligent search results, and Cards of useful information like traffic and weather. The app gives you useful information based on your daily routine and search history. It really requires location services and search history to be activated to be really useful. The interface is the same as the Android app, but there are a few less cards available. Boarding passes, activity summary, events, concerts, Fandango and Zillow are not available at least in this version of Google Search for iOS.

You can use voice search too, to find local information that you need (like where’s the nearest French restaurant?). The cards will appear naturally, depending on what you’ve been searching for. It might show you the latests results from your football team, or a news story you’ve been following.

Google Search already includes full screen image search, Google Goggles and swipe controls.

Download Google Search with Google Now.
