Google now cards widget

[eric002]

So I know that there's a cards widget for the past few months, I've taken the widget off my home screen and just used to Google page. Just curious what everyone else does here. Thanks.

I run the Google Launcher, which is basically a launcher wrapper around the Google app, so those Now cards are a quick swipe away on the homescreen... and they load much faster everywhere else.

But you don't use the actual widget for it though?

With the Google Now Launcher, the left most screen displays all your cards...unfortunately, you can't get that feature with other launchers.

That's. Very true.

Right... with the GL, there's zero need for the widget anyhow. The native Google App's UI is 1000x times better than the widget.

True that true that

With Nova Prime and Gestures, the Google Now Cards display when I swipe up from any screen, instead of needing to swipe left (multiple times if you're not on the initial home screen).

True I'm just saying in general but you're right, the left most page is all Google, plus there's Google now on Tap.

I use that exact same method on Nova as well, I preferred it when it was swipe to to get to Google now

Sell here's the thing, the left most page is Google now but what if you just want to quickly glance at you're Google cards without having to Swype to the left?

Launch On Tap and click the G symbol. It'd be cool if it'd pop a floating window with the cards in them, but this works fine.

This is very true. I figured that how the hard way by myself as well though. Gets the job done. Just a different way of going about it now, that's all.

You could install a 3rd party launcher and have swipe up or something or double tap if you like

Well I'm trying to get used to Google now on tap honestly. It does work very well just got to get used to pressing and holding the home button again.
