Anyone else having issues with Google Now as of late?

 

Has been working fine for me since its inception however as of late I've had random issues where I'll get the morning traffic card notification in the drop down notification area but no card when I click on the notification.

The last couple of weeks I no longer get weather cards for home or work, just weather for my location (being Wellington) which updates infrequently as opposed to work/home weather cards. The same thing re weather cards is happening on my wife's nexus 4

Tried the usual things like turning Google now off/on etc to no avail

Have sent feedback but that's pointless as it probably just goes into Google's trash can

Yeah, I've noticed it's suddenly become flakey in the last week or two.
Pretty much seeing the same as you describe

could try this:


" I just searched for "weather <my zip code>", which brought up the typical Google weather search results in Chrome. Closed chrome, and when I flipped back to the widget, it was showing the weather and my other usual cards."

Yeah, have seen that however their problem seems specific to the google now widget as opposed to going into google now itself. It looks like their problem was fixed with the recent update to Google Search which added the Sochi card

Might give it a go anyway

Anyone else?

Had a look at a mates phone and his google now is exhibiting the same problems.

If you do can you send feedback using the three dots down the bottom? Hopefully the more people that report it Google will notice that something is broken outside of America...
