Google Trips gets an update to make planning a bit more easy

Google Trips finally has a big update that will make trip planning that much easier. A new button in the Reservations tab will let you add and edit things like notes, flights, hotel bookings, restaurants, and flight details. It’ll also automatically organize all your past and upcoming train and bus reservations in one place. For planning group trips, the app will now also let you share all your reservations to someone through a single, organized email or see the details through Trip if they have the app as well. Going up against the likes of TripIt, adding these features will make using Google Trips that much more enticing.

‘Carpool Karaoke’ series launch gets delayed to ‘later this year’

Apple’s first original TV series, Carpool Karaoke: The Series, was supposed to come out this month. But it looks like that isn’t happening. The series’ debut is pushed back to “later this year.” A premiere party for the shows was supposed to happen last month but that got postponed. It was pushed to Monday but got pushed back again because of the delay of the show’s launch. Apple won’t say what’s been causing the delays.

Carpool Karaoke: The Series stars the likes of James Corden, Will Smith, Alicia Keys, Seth MacFarlane, Chelsea Handler, Blake Shelton, John Cena, to name a few. Taken from the “Carpool Karaoke” segment from The Late Late Show with James Corden, the new show will have 16 half-hour episodes and will “surprise fans” as they see “big stars belting out tunes one lane over.” When it premieres, the show will be exclusively available on Apple Music.
