As part of the Google Search app, finally on iOS, Now monitors your searches and other activity to get you relevant information — like weather, directions and flight information — by way of “cards” at the bottom of the screen. Swipe away unwanted cards, and hope it doesn’t catch on to your obsessive searches for your ex. Free |

2014 Toyota 4Runner Though it’s nearly due for a complete redesign, the 4Runner — now one of the few remaining entries of its size in the “true” SUV segment — has been granted a fresh, rocky face and new interior bits and accessories to keep itself looking and feeling good.

GPS geo-tagging, 1080p video recording and full manual control round out the features on this pint-sized powerhouse. $450 |

TENT Collection By Esther Porter There’s room in here somewhere for a pun about these bags being “intense” — but these colorful totes should be taken seriously all the same. Made of reclaimed music festival tent material, rubber-bonded canvas and cast nickel hardware, they’re both water resistant and good looking. estherporter.co.uk |
