Google Apps on iPhone?!

[Bballbenb]

Hey all,

I recently asked this question on iMore and would like to hear Android Centrals thoughts!


I have recently been reading a lot about the Google Now app and all it's features. I have tried it out and it seems cool. I also have a gmail account. My question is, what is everyones thoughts and expertise on using google apps for the iphone? I see that they have a bunch of them on the app store. Is there any advantages or disadvantages to being invested in the google ecosystem on an iPhone? Or do you guys reccomend just sticking to the stock apple apps (siri, calender, maps, notes, etc.)

Also can anyone tell me or sum up the complaints/concerns of Google and Privacy? Is there anything to really be scared about that can happen to you because you use Google products?

Thanks.

No privacy issues. IMHO the google apps are simply much better designed then the stock apps(exception being safari and chrome because chrome is really slow on iPhones and such)

What I mean by that is, compare the UI of google maps and the UI of the Apple maps. the G maps look much better.
I just prefer the better look of the Gapps.
