Google Updates Timely With Lollipop Looks, Google Now Support

Remember Timely? If you were using Google+ when it came out, you probably remember your feed being polluted with shares of the app's link, which was an easy way to get in-app stuff. After its meteoric rise (which was really strange, since it's really just an alarm clock app) Google purchased Bitspin, the studio behind Timely, and immediately made all the in-app content free. Since then, Bitspin (or maybe Google) has done little with the app, but an update today brings it full circle to Lollipop.

Here's the full changelog, fresh from the Play Store:

Select your own sounds

Upcoming alarm notification

Option to ask for the challenge to snooze

Google Now support for timers and reuses alarms

Android 5.0 adaptions:

Colored notifications

Colored status and action bar

Colored Overview headers

Support for new alarm API to show the alarm icon

Numerous fixes for crashes and visual glitches

Selecting your own sounds? Fun! Some Lollipop love is also nice, and brings it back into focus as the go-to app for many, especially those who are dedicated to keeping their device as current with Google's new design as possible.

The most notable — and usable — upgrade might be Google Now support. As Now becomes a platform for Google to lean on rather than a neat Search overlay, the ability to use timely with it will be attractive.

If you don't have Timely, it's available via Google Play for free.
