Google Gives App Access to 70 New Apps In Google Now

Back in January, Google announced initial support for forty third-party apps (including Runtastic, Zillow, Waze, and more) hooking into Google Now. Even if Google limited participation to hand-picked partners, the news was exciting - it marked Google's first publicly visible steps toward opening Now to users' favorite apps in ways that developers could control.

Google is still keeping details about developer participation close, but today 70 new apps have been added to the Google Now roster.

Some of the new partners include ABC News, Allrecipes, Jawbone, Runkeeper, Adidas, OpenTable, Zipcar, Spotify, TuneIn, and Feedly.

To see the full list of apps, head over to this Google page. To see some of the example cards of each, go here.

In order to let the new apps play nice with your phone, you will need the newest version of the Google app (4.5), which is rolling out slowly.

Here are a few other ways Now cards from your apps can help you out:

• Get breaking news about the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake from ABC News, Circa, or feedly

• Know when your pad thai is about to arrive with reminders from Eat24 that the food you ordered will soon be on your doorstep, or get inspired with the recipe of the day from Allrecipes

• Keep your fitness goals front and center with gentle nudges from Runkeeper, Jawbone, or Adidas

• And if you’re out to dinner, simply tap on a Now card to pay your bill with OpenTable
