I was an early fan of now on android but I think i'll be disabling this as it provides only useless notifications based on items tangentially related to things i've had a passing interest in and no longer provides up to date package tracking etc. Lately it has been giving me basketball scores because I read a machine learning article on predicting sports results despite having no interest in organized sports.

Additionally since it first came out I've started working from home in a rural area with decent but low density cell coverage that slows cellular assisted gps. This seems to convince it that I work at a cell tower giving totally meaningless travel time results to random hill tops.

I think this is an example of a tool that was only tested by and is really only useful for people in the young, urban, travel a lot demographic that most google employees are in. I know that google considers their culture sacred but they really need to diversify at least their least their test users it if they want to make products that the population as a whole benefits from.
