The only reason I use Google now is to check the score of the Browns.
What? You don't really think I'm going to watch them do you?
Hey. No real Browns fan would say that! Don't hate on my Browns.
[*]I like having pro scores, for teams I follow, but I wish there college teams were included..
I also think Google Now voice search is better than S-Voice.+1
I've found s voice to be quirky and inaccurate at times.
Google now is accurate and fast.
From what little I have seen or used Google now, it's pretty awesome. I today searched for a company nearby using safari and Google search on my mac. Not long after, directions to said company showed up on Google now.
Set an appointment etc in s-planner with an address and it does the same and tells you what time you need to leave to get there for the appointment time.
Any time I leave home it tells me how far I am away from home. I'm sure it does more and I'm just scratching the surface
For those of you who have it, how much do you use it and how useful do you find it?
How does this usage impact your battery? I turned it off on my tab because it while I was not finding too much use for it, it was leaning hard on the battery.

Its running in the background - as Google Now is really the Google search app - so it's not taking up battery life.
Please no, the more you use it and search, the more it will learn about you.
I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say 'please, no....' But is it not the case that Google Now also uses location finding services which use up the battery?
