Google taps search to recommend apps

Helping out developers to get more eyes on their apps, Google is using its search engine to suggest apps to users. If you type something in search, they'll prompt you to install a certain app that can help fulfill the need or at least assist you with the search term. Once you install the app, you'll be redirected in the app to what you wanted to do on the web. For example, you're searching for a restaurant, Google might recommend OpenTable for you. Once installed, you'll be redirected to the reservation page of said restaurant. Developers can check out how they can be part of this implementation in the link below.

Yelp adds Apple Watch integration

Yelp users who wonder if the app was coming to the Apple Watch don't have to wonder for too long. The app has been updated to add Apple Watch support. It works mostly like the standalone app. You can look for places to eat at and see how far away they are. You'll even get to see star ratings and reviews as well as the hours they operate. There's even a "Hot & New" button to show you the trending places in the area. The update is already live but we can't say the same about the Apple Watch coming your way just yet.
