Back in January, Google announced initial support for forty third-party apps (including Runtastic, Zillow, Waze, and more) hooking into Google Now. Even if Google limited participation to hand-picked partners, the news was exciting - it marked Google's first publicly visible steps toward opening Now to users' favorite apps in ways that developers could control.

Google is still keeping details about developer participation close, but today 70 new apps have been added to the Google Now roster.

Added to the list are apps like Circa News, Sleep as Android, Komoot, and Wunderlist. From Google's blog:

Here are a few other ways Now cards from your apps can help you out: Get breaking news about the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake from ABC News, Circa, or feedly

Know when your pad thai is about to arrive with reminders from Eat24 that the food you ordered will soon be on your doorstep, or get inspired with the recipe of the day from Allrecipes

Keep your fitness goals front and center with gentle nudges from Runkeeper, Jawbone, or Adidas

And if you’re out to dinner, simply tap on a Now card to pay your bill with OpenTable

Check out the full list of app integrations (including apps that can pull info from Gmail) or read Google's full post below. To get the new cards, you'll need the latest Google app update and a bit of patience. Google says the new integrations will roll out "over the next few weeks." In the meantime grab the update from APK Mirror.
