Google Helpouts app gets pulled from app stores

It seemed like a good idea in theory. Learn from experts via video chat (or in Google’s case through Hangouts) about everything from guitar lessons to cooking a new dish. But alas, it didn’t pick up. That’s why Google quietly pulled its Helpouts app from the Google Play Store and Apple iTunes App Store. Even within the apps you can’t access the content. If you have been using the service, your only recourse is through the web-based Helpouts.

Google brings Helpouts app to iPhone

If you’re in need of some expert advice on how to fix your bike or repair a dress, Google has brought in its Helpouts service to the iPhone (there is no iPad version at the moment).   You can schedule video chats with the experts but you will be limited to the free advice given. Google hasn’t brought paid Helpouts to the iPhone app. And you will need to be using a browser if you want to create listings for your instructional sessions.
