Google updates News & Weather app with Apple Watch support

On Tuesday, May 12, Google officially updated its News & Weather app to bring Apple Watch support, making it the first Watch app from the Mountain View-based company.
The update, which brings the version up to 1.7.426, was released Tuesday, and includes Apple Watch support as the main takeaway. With the new feature, the Watch serves as a small window into the text-filled content found within the app proper. There’s not a lot going on here, but for anyone that wants to keep up-to-date on certain things, and doesn’t want to use any of the other news apps available, Google’s version can fill in that blank.
It’s a free app, and the download link below will take you to it if you don’t already have it installed. While this may not be the one app from Google that people want on their wrist, it is a good sign, as TechCrunch points out, that Google is not ignoring the Apple Watch and that more updates from the company are more than likely on the horizon.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to save you time or stress, but at least, you’ll have simple instructions on how to do transfer all your iTunes songs, albums, album covers, and playlists to a brand new computer.
