Google expands ability to access app content from within Google Search, adds 24 new apps and global support

open-in-app
Last year Google began partnering with select app makers in order to bring an “Open in app” button within Google Search results on your Android devices. Basically this made it easy to search for something and then quickly jump directly into your favorite apps to view the content such as Wikipedia, Open Table and a few others.

Now Google is expanding its efforts to connect popular apps with its keyword search results, bringing the feature to English-speaking markets outside of the United States and adding 24 new apps partners including:

500px, AOL, BigOven, Bleacher Report, Booking.com, Eventbrite, Glassdoor, Goodreads, Huffington Post, Merriam-Webster, Pinterest, Realtor.com, Seeking Alpha, TalkAndroid, TheFreeDictionary, The Journal, TripAdvisor, Tumblr, Urbanspoon, Wattpad, YP, Zagat, Zappos and Zillow.

Although quite a few apps now support this feature, it’s interesting to note that both Facebook and Twitter are currently unsupported. What do you think, like the added convenience of being able to easily view content from you search results directly through your favorite apps? What other apps would you like to see bring support for this feature?

QuizUp for Android attracted 1 million new signups within its first week, averaging 100,000 new users a day

quizup review

After first launching on iOS in November, Plain Vanilla game’s popular trivia game QuizUp finally landed on Android earlier this month. At the time, there were whispers about how QuizUp could be the next super-hit (fad) app taking the crown from Flappy Bird.

So how well has QuizUp done since its Android debut? According to Plain Vanilla Games, the app saw a million new signups during its first week on Android and has been constantly grabbing 100,000 new daily signups ever since. Combining its iOS and Android users, the trivia app has 12.6 million users and has seen over 40 million trivia matches. Here’s a fun fact: Plain White Games says that all its users combined have reportedly spent a total equivalent of 176 years playing the game since its original debut.

There’s no denying that QuizUp has been a run away success so far, and in our official review we found that the game was largely enjoyable, though not without its faults including occasional factual errors in questions, spelling mistakes and other minor issues.

The big question is whether QuizUp can hold onto this success in the long-term, or if it’s user base will eventually lose interest and move on — as we have begun to see with Flappy Bird and the many clones that followed it.

Have you tried QuizUp yet, if so what do you think of the trivia platform based on your experience with it?
