Also my phone has been warm to the touch all day. I want all the features of the Google Now, but I don't want to turn off location services to help with the battery life. Any suggestions?

you can leave location on but turn it off for google now that's what i did
Once you sign in and activate Google Now tap the gear to go to Google Search settings. Go to Privacy, scroll down and turn off Location Reporting. From now on it will use location services but only when the app is open.

UPDATE #2: Houston, we have a problem.
As some of our astute readers have pointed out, using Google Now on iOS seems to lock your GPS into the ON position, which causes it to slurp down battery like a teenager with a Mountain Dew. Obviously, this isn't good. We've confirmed the problem on our device as well. Reaching out to Google for a comment now.
Thanks for that.
Convoluted! There's going to be a lot of folks that don't know why their phone is draining.
Thanks!
Guess I'm late to this party. Has it been pulled from the AppStore?
It's still available. I just found it in the store. Search for Google Search.

You'd think it's a bug or something.
