About the Google™ app and Now on Tap
The Google™ app provides useful information when you need it through Google Now™ cards. Google Now™ cards contain personalised info, such as weather updates for your location, or directions to the next event on your agenda.
Now on Tap extends the features of the Google™ app to show you relevant information based on the app that you're using. For example, if you and a friend are using BBM to discuss meeting at a restaurant, Now on Tap can provide a card with ratings for the restaurant or directions to the restaurant. After you set up Now cards in the Google™ app, you can touch and hold the 
key to access Now on Tap.
