Google Launcher

If you are using Android Version 4.1 Jelly Bean or Newer, you can now download the Google Now Launcher. This integrates Google Now and allows you to access Google Search through the "OK Google" command on any home screen. The app also replaces your native launcher (for instance, if you are using Samsung, Google Launcher replaces the TouchWiz interface). The look and feel of the new launcher is great but this also means that some of your native widgets might not work anymore.

Commandr

This apps allows you to add voice commands to Google Now. Some of the new features include the ability to control the flashlight, toggle settings and control music playback. There are also a variety of offline features. Something you got to love about the app is that it allows you to toggle very basic settings such as turn on/off Wi-F, GPS or Data. Or even raise/lower the volume. Overall, this is a great app for those who want the full Google experience without having to wait for Google to get around updating their search and control features.
