Google just updated its Google Search app for iOS and in the process renamed it to simply “Google”, which seems to make a bit more sense considering the app integrates Google Now features and much beyond just search. Also in today’s update: new features for Chromecast and additional Google Now cards.
For Chromecast users, the app now allows users to ask “What’s on Chromecast?” and jump right into the Chromecast app to begin casting content to a TV. The update also includes new Google Now cards that Google says offer “personalized TV recommendations and traffic information.”
Version 4.2.0 of the Google app is available on the App Store now.
What’s New in Version 4.2.0
This update includes new Google Now cards for personalized TV recommendations and traffic information. Chromecast users can now ask Google “what’s on Chromecast?” to open the Chromecast app and start casting. We’ve also made improvements to speed up your browsing experience.
Sign in to the Google app and enable Now cards to take full advantage of these new features.

Why does having anything Google on my phone or computer give me the creeps? I put up with Google Earth, but Gmail and Chrome are long gone and I’m trying out DuckDuckGo.
More spyware to ignore…no thanks.

Really? Obviously you’re not that familiar with Android or Google. It’s been available for almost a year.
