Google brings Clock app to Play Store

Google has brought one more of its native apps into the Play Store, to make it easier order to push updates to its app. You can now download the Clock app from the Google’s app store. It’s similar to what you find in the Android M developer preview and even what Android Lollipop users are using now on Nexus devices. It works as an alarm clock, stopwatch, and a clock for checking time in cities around the world. If you use Google Now and command it to set the alarm, it’ll do so with this app.

Google Search helps you find the quotable quote you need

Want to channel your inner Marilyn Monroe and borrow a few of her words? Google Search has a way to make it easy for you. All you need to do is add the word “quotes” at the end of your search query (e.g. Marilyn Monroe quotes) and it’ll display a card with the quotes to choose from. Of course, Google isn’t verifying if these quotes so you might want to do some more digging to make sure you’re attributing it to the right person.

Twitter brings in the love for some Android users

Twitter seems to be all about the love or at least they’re taking a cue from Vine by changing its familiar star icon to hearts. It isn’t showing for everyone though as some users report. It could just be another round of testing for Twitter. But what do you think: would you rather have stars or hearts?
