Google Now notifications ?

[BobDunn]

Hi all
After trying the lg G WATCH for a few days before returning it, I really miss the googlenow notifications on the SW2.
I have tried Augmented app, but aesthetically it is horrible, so has anybody found a notification app that includes Google Now.
Cheers

Curious, why did you return the g watch?

Unless I'm configuring it incorrectly, Watchit and watchify only say there's one alert rather than presenting the actual alert.
I will look at Notify
thanks

Yes, I found this, but like the others, didn't appear to handle Google Now cards. I've tried about 6, but not very scientifically, so perhaps I've rushed the tests a little, I certainly can't recall which did what.

Will give it another try this evening thanks

Lightflow can do this. You can set which cards do and do not get sent to the watch. It comes across as text, not an interactive card (but I don't think any app does the interactive card thing) . Plus lightflow is awesome for your phone notifications.

Light Flow!

If you purchase the full version of light flow you can push alot of notifications to your watch, including google now.

Bugger! Just bought Notifier Pro, and this doesn't do cards at all.
Will check out LF

"Wearable Widgets" shows any widget on the watch. But no interaction with the widget.

I gave augmented a go, which proved it's possible to show cards, but it looks so 'naf'.

Well I tried the full version, and it's certainly a well presented app, but couldn't get cards to work, so got it refunded.

Doesn't it push the notifications? Or are you looking for something more then just getting the notification, like actual swipe away cards?

Hi, though cards would be nice, I would be happy with a text style alert/headline for each google now card. For me the whole purpose of the smart watch is to leave the phone in my pocket as much as possible. I like the cards but many are irrelevant or not urgent (like many texts and most FB posts) so if I can casually glance at my watch to confirm this, then it's work is done.

and no, it didn't appear to push the alerts individually.

It does. I do it. You need to go into settings and switch on what you want to come across. It works well - it even sends me traffic alerts while driving.

Then I will buy and try again, I was most impressed with it's configuration anyway. Will let you know how it goes, thanks

Apps like e.g. WatchIt have two different methods of getting the notifications from the phone to the watch: Notification access (under Security settings) and Accessibility. Only the latter one can get Toasts and thus Google Now cards. At least it was like this for me.

OK, I give up, I will live without GNow notifications till the Moto is on my wrist.
THanks for the suggestions
