Google has launched a new app called “Google Opinion Rewards” which allows users make some profit after taking surveys which are usually conducted by certain companies.

The US Company said the new app is currently available for IOs users in the United States. A user can receive 99 cents for answering the survey’s questions through this app.

According to the German News Agency (DPA), Google stated that the surveys cover all topics and fields, from the favorite TV shows to the apps that people love to use.

The CNET.com website reported that the brain-picking surveys usually take less than 30 seconds and are always 10 questions or less.

The user receives a notification on his mobile device when a new survey is ready, and if he’s just not that into one of them, he can simply skip it. The money he earns goes to whatever PayPal account you've linked to the app.

Britain's competition regulator on Tuesday said it was proposing to designate Google with "strategic market status" to give it greater control over how the US tech giant operates search services.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said steps it could take included making it easier for users to access different search providers and ensuring fair ranking principles for businesses appearing on Google search, Reuters reported.

It also proposed more transparency and control for publishers whose content appeared in search results if it goes ahead with the designation in October.

Google will be the first company designated since the regulator gained new powers this year.

Google said the move could have significant implications for businesses and consumers in Britain.

"We're concerned that the scope of the CMA's considerations remains broad and unfocused, with a range of interventions being considered before any evidence has been provided," said Oliver Bethell, Google's senior director for competition.
