When we talk about Google’s chat app, we think automatically about Google Hangout. It turns out it’s not the only Google chat app available for us! If you haven’t already, try to say hello to Allo! Allo is a Google Chat app that lets you have some awesome doodling and fun stickers to use as you chat with your friends.
Aside from that, the notable feature of Allo is that it lets you search anything you need without exiting the app! This is really handy if you’re confused about something that your friend said as you can instantly search its meaning or fish out some information without exiting your chat app. This provides a seamless communication and information to you.
Need an Alarm? Timer Is Here to Save the Day!
Let’s face it. Most of us rely on our alarm clocks (whether the manual or digital one) for a wake-up call every morning. If you found your alarm clocks on cell phones or apps not working anymore, you can rely on Google for one. Just type r in Google Search and indicate what time you want to wake up. If you’re running or exercising, you can also use this to as your stopwatch app. Easy, peasy, right?
Translate Pesky Texts
Traveling is fun and an exciting activity. However, it can be quite daunting if you’re traveling in a country where English is not the official language.

You can now read its English translation! Pretty cool, right?
