I used to use Chrome everywhere, but now I only use it on my work computer, which runs Windows 7. I started using Safari on my MacBook in order to use iCloud tabs with my phone and iPad, and it's stuck with me as my main browser.

I think Google Maps is well done, but not being able to search for my phone's contacts (which I store in iCloud instead of Google) makes me go back to Apple's Maps. Plus, I like the persistent banner that Apple Maps puts on the home screen, and I prefer Siri's voice to the one in Google Maps (picky, I know).

I like the Gmail app, but I also have a work Exchange account, so I'd rather stick with the default Mail app than have to use 2 different apps.

I do use Google Voice for filtering out recruiters looking to fill jobs. Google+ is absolutely gorgeous, but I just can't get any of my friends to use it, so it's kinda pointless for me.

Overall, I think that Google has started making some beautiful, useful applications for iOS, and I hope they continue improving them. A Google Talk client would be fantastic.

I'm a huge fan of Apple Maps but I recently started using Google Maps to search for places nearby (as opposed to going to Safari, then searching).

Google Maps is great for searches but I always use Apple Maps for navigation (I like the Lockscreen feature).


But I use no other Google apps.

I agree. Google Maps is far superior for searching. If Apple Maps could implement something like that, I'd delete Google Maps from my phone.

I use gmail, but through Apple's email app on my iPhone. That is the only Google product/app I use on my iPhone.

But I bought a better phone so I don't use any apple software on my phone

I've always used Google's services even before I got my iPad several years ago. When iCloud was released, I switched my main address to that, but went back to gmail when they released their app on iOS. I use a lot of Google's services, but not all of them. iCloud syncing is still main on my devices.
