Maluuba, a Google Now type app, offers a very simple and clean look. This look is extremely similar to Windows Phone 8, offering tiles, and swiping left and right to go between "folders." Maluuba offers more than Google Now, giving you restaurants, movies, businesses, and more.
"My day" offers you a simple agenda layout on your appointments and meetings of the day. If you do not have anything scheduled for a day, a similar layout pops out with suggestions for movies, or businesses.
Weather is laid out very cleanly, information popping out at you quickly. However, I could not find the option to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius, one that is useful for me daily.
Movies are shown quickly, with listings that are now playing, and opening soon, Clicking on an individual movie will give you information about the movie, such as the genre, director, cast, and the ability to view the trailer. You are also given the option to share the movie by email, Twitter, Facebook and SMS.
Now for the voice search. Answers are given in three sections: answers, wikipedia, and more sources. The answers category is powered by Wolfram Alpha, giving a list, general information, and an image. Information is laid out very nicely, and it does a nice job of recognizing what you say.
Maluuba is quite impressive, and although I have access to Google Now, I may be using it in conjunction with it. This app simply brings more to the table, more information, with a clean and easy to use layout. This app will be staying on my phone.
