Google's Android app is about to get a lot more helpful.

The Web giant on Tuesday announced it is adding Now cards, which aim to give you relevant information just when you need it, for 70 more apps, including Zipcar, Spotify, ABC News, Runkeeper, and OpenTable. The move comes after Google in January first started showing Now cards from dozens of apps like Airbnb, Lyft, and Pandora on Android devices.

"Our phones help us find answers to questions large and small, stay on top of what's happening in our day and in the world, and get things done quickly," Google's Aparna Chennapragada wrote in a blog post. "The Google app can help you do all that, faster, and in one place. And Now cards in the app proactively bring you information at the right time without you even having to ask."

Say you're using the car-sharing service Zipcar, for instance. You'll now be able to keep track of when you need to return the vehicle and get directions to the drop-off location with Now cards, right from the Google app.

Meanwhile, if you're looking to get pumped up before hitting the town on a Friday night, Now cards can recommend playlists from Spotify, TuneIn, or YouTube based on your preferences, Chennapragada said. Or, if you're out to dinner, you can tap on a Now card within the Google app to pay your bill with OpenTable.

Other partners include ABC News, Circs, and feedly for breaking news; Eat24 for food delivery notifications; Allrecipes for daily meal ideas; and Runkeeper, Jawbone, and Adidas for fitness motivation.

To get the new Now cards, you'll need the latest version of the Google app and other apps that work with this feature. Google said it will start rolling out the new Now cards on Android over the next few weeks.
