The newest version of the Google voice search app has finally landed on iOS, taking on Apple’s Siri.

Android phones running 4.1 Jelly Bean comes preinstalled with the new and improved Google Search adds voice functionality, ramping up an already robust search engine.

Also, the new app works on any iOS device running iOS 4.3 or later and has even been optimized to work with the iPhone 5. This is some good news for iPhone users not compatible with Siri.

Google Search works the same way as Apple's Siri. It can understand voice commands and will reply to users with both audio and written responses.

They have their differences though. Siri can easily get users in touch with contacts and post to Facebook and Twitter, whereas Google Search is a more broad service that does well with web-related work, such as finding directions and places to eat.

Google Search is available for free in the iTunes store.
