[Update] Google+ for iPhone Now Available

The long awaited Google+ App for iPhone is now available on the App Store.   While many users are reporting crashes, others are reporting that it’s stable.   As for me, I’m just unhappy that there’s no iPad or universal version… 

You still need to be invited to Google+ to use it, but at this time, any current Google+ user can send you an invite.

[Update]  That didn’t take long – an update is already available with some bug fixes and blocking options.

 

Some notes from Google:

– IOS5 is unsupported at this point. (It works, but many features cause a crash – Ed.)
– iPad/iPhone device support is coming soon.

Noted issues from users and responses from Google:

1. It doesn’t keep me logged in. Even though I had told it to. Oh, wait, now it is.
– We have not seen this issue so far. But we are going to do another round of testing on Authentication and iterate.

2. I don’t see a way to upload a photo, like the Android app has. Nevermind, I found that, you have to click on the photos app where the camera icon is very small.
– Thanks for the feedback. We will take another look at our UI flows.

3. It frequently freezes on me.
– We discovered an issue where the App freezes when there are posts with tons of comments on it. We have a fix for it and its coming soon.

4. It has crashed twice so far. UPDATE: Six times.
– This may be related to the lack of IOS5 support. We are digging deep into other crash reports as we speak.

5. No way to share.
– That is a feature we are working on for both Android and iPhone. Coming soon.

Many thanks to our users’ for their patience and support as we make things better.

 

If you are using the app, how is it working for you?
