Google has some of the most beautiful and useful apps on the planet. I don’t mind loosing Apple-made apps on my iPhone in favor of Google substitutes.
In many cases, in fact, I already have.
Opting for Chrome and, even more frequently, the Google app, I never use Safari anymore.
I’m not sure I could last very long without Google Now at this point as the Google app brings plenty of Google Now functionality to the iPhone.
Since its calamitous launch, Apple’s own mapping app has gotten much better now, but it still can’t beat Google Maps, so for mapping and navigation as-well I use Google Maps.
Due to i-phone’s crashtastic mailbox app I use the Google Mailbox app for email instead of Apple’s Mail app even though it is fantastic.
Often times, I use Google Drive and the related productivity apps over Apple’s own productivity suite. I use Google Play Music rather than iTunes Radio or Beats to stream songs.
I would have laughed in your face a few years ago if you would have told me that Google would be the company behind some of the best mobile software in the world – across all mobile platforms.
The early versions of Android were not great but there’s no question that right now in 2015 Google products are very very superior.
For more than a decade Google has been the search king and continues to be so.
The number of superior Google apps on my iPhone is growing constantly, and I hope to soon swap even my iPhone’s default Phone app in favor of Google Voice, if Google ever updates the app, or Hangouts if Google ends up bringing Voice into that service.
Android has grown to become a fantastic mobile platform, no doubt about that, however; my smartphone is an i-phone.
The user experience is far more fluid on iOS than it is on Android, and the third-party apps are better made, better designed and more consistent Interestingly, many of those fantastic third-party iOS apps are made by Google.
The fantastic new Google Calendar iPhone app makes Apple’s calendar app look sad and dated by comparison.
Working its way into Apple’s iOS ecosystem Google has become frighteningly efficient at that.
Google’s mobile software is terrific, and now, I can enjoy it alongside the rest of the best mobile apps in the world on my iPhone.
As an end user I have the privileges of Google’s some of the most beautiful and useful apps on the planet and the fluidic user experience of iOS.
I am having the best of both the worlds.
